This is horrendous logic. Someone can take the last 10 or 15 drafts and see how many star players were drafted in the top 5. Then do the same with later rounds for the same time period and count how many star players were drafted. I'd bet you finding a star in the top 5 is like 50% or better and outside the 1st round is less than 1%

It's insane to think you're going to build the best team in the league while refusing to use the most probable method of obtaining elite talent.
