True, which is why I try not to get too high or too low on them. Anointing him as anything outside of a project is pretty much a shot in the dark. If we sign him, then great. If not, then at least there is a decent compensatory pick in it for us. It seems like late 1st round draftees typically depreciate over their next few seasons after being drafted, so a 2nd rounder a few seasons later is OK by me. With a few exceptions, 1st round picks outside of the top 15 or so are never worth more than they are before the draft.

Maybe Jankowski is one of the exceptions, but I am still waiting to be sold on it.
