I may be wrong but than has he ever hit, I mean really hit - quality starter/pro bowler - outside the second round (almost limited it to first but then thought of Smoot and Jansen)?
With that said, however, his first rounders have been good solid hits and no horrid busts. That is not something to be completely disregarded.

Keep in mind that he now has Joe Gibbs looking over his shoulder, and developing late round picks are Gibbs' strength, so it should balance out.
