I really don't care where he was drafted.

It matters when youre comparing 133 to 7. It show pedigree, track record, skill, how other teams saw him. It's really rare for players to pull a Benn or Datsyuk. Draft position is pretty indicative of skill. At least when talking a first or second round player.
