And expectations are even higher for top picks. They're expected not just to succeed, but play at a high level for years
If you draft a guy to play left tackle at 2 and he plays there for 10 years with a few pro bowls, you've gotten your money's worth. If the guy doesn't play at that level, but he's been your starter for a few years (think John Tait, but drafted #2 instead of 14), he's a disappointment, but he's at least produced at the position. If the guy you spent the number 2 pick on ends up at guard, he's a bust. Period.
Robert Gallery is not what you're looking for in the top 5.

Clearly you don't understand the difference between a bust and a disappointment.
If you go out with a girl you've heard is slutty and only get a handjob afterwords, that's a disappointment. If she orders the most expensive thing on the menu and then leaves with Tony Gonzalez, that's a bust.
