Jankowski being a 1at rounder gets haters for a similar reason.

Both those players had posters fall completely in love with them because of their draft position as well, and the blame for their poor play always fell on others (coaching, linemates, officiating, etc.). If they had been 3rd rounders, no one would have continually excused them. They would have been held more accountable by those posters.
