The reason you draft big in those rounds is hoping the skill is developed later. Most of the time it isnt but occasionally you get a late bloomer and a steal.

You can't teach size
You get Hunter Smith in the 2nd rounds and later.

That’s why it’s better to go for skill players, what point is it to draft someone just because they are huge. You can’t teach skill. You can trade the skilled players for a bigger player later on.

Those big fast skilled guys are rare.
