Fowler is a good example. Was supposed to go at the top of the draft and dropped to 12. Not huge but way later than expected. Probably would go top 3 in a re-draft
At some point the potential of those guys outweighs the concerns and they go. But my general instincts would be the same as you - that "fallers" generally don't work out well.
I might be wrong though.
