In the long term, if you spend a first round pick on someone 10 slots too early, that's not so bad as long as that player becomes a productive starter. If Tyson Jackson starts at DE for 5 years and is an average to above average NFL starter, some people will still cry about it, but he will have been an OK pick. Those don't kill your franchise. The killers are not the reaches, they are the guys who are gone in 2 or 3 years and who you never got any productive use out of.
