Sure a guy could turn out / surprise - but one isn’t falling to that spot who will be expected to be a number 1 D

This statement is laughably wrong. I randomly chose one year, 2003, and here is a quick list of the best defensemen that year:
49: Weber
7: Suter
14: Seabrook
9: Phaneuf
20: Burns
249: Byfuglien
So then I figured I should try another year.. 2004
nobody
2005:
62: Letang
35: Vlassic
2006 and 2007: nobody
2008:
38: Josi
2: Doughty
4: Pietrangelo
15: Karlsson
so at least we finally found a couple that went before 8th
then I got bored and stopped
