No.
If you draft an IMPACTFUL player high, you inherently have higher risk and higher reward.
Fans like tackles because if they bust (and they do, at a higher rate than QBs actually) it doesn't hurt.
Of course, they completely ignore the fact that when those guys play at a high level, it often ALSO goes unnoticed because it has almost no impact on wins and losses.
