#5: Show me a situation where a franchise should be totally risk averse, and how well it pays off for them.

#1/2/3: Well, this decade, Brady (6th round pick) and Johnson (9th round) have combined for 4 of the 8 Super Bowl wins. The other 4 have gone to Big Ben (2), Manning (1) and Manning (1), so the first round has no clear cut edge here.
#4: Leonard Davis turned into a Pro Bowl guard. If you're going to put him into a negative/bust category, you're clearly not going to be objective about this and I'm not going to waste my time breaking down other positions.
#5 This doesn't even warrant an answer.
