Strongly disagree, it's the absolutely most important part in my opinion. Expectations are huge in deciding if someone busts, and that comes in large part based on their draft position.
A 7th round pick can never bust, because if they do nothing, they pretty much meet their expectation.
A 1st overall like Daigle was a massive bust given his expectations. Heck, Doug Wickenheiser and Brian Lawton were too in part because of who came after them.
