In an ideal world, every draft pick a team makes will become stars or, at the very least, important role players. However, we know that’s not how it always works. Drafting players is a big gamble. Sometimes first round picks never develop or get hurt. Sometimes, it is your later round picks that shine brighter. Case in point, Noah Cates seems to be the best pick from the 2017 draft for the Philadelphia Flyers despite being selected 135th overall in the fifth round.
Realistically, you expect more from your higher level picks than you do from the lower ones.
