Give me a f'n break. What % of 4th rounders and above become starters? 25%? 30%? The Jets got a Super Bowl MVP for a guy who probably has a 15-20% chance to start. Draft picks after the 1st round are incredibly overvalued. Pittsburgh selected a guy named Stevenson Sylvester with the Jets' fifth round pick. Santonio Holmes for Stevenson Sylvester. Even if Sylvester becomes a starter, what's the chance he becomes as valuable as Holmes? 5% at best?

This isn't a rip on the Steelers, but spare me the "4th and 5th rounders are gold!" rhetoric.
