Of course it is better to hit on your early picks and get lucky on your later ones. But good players out of the 7th round are always unexpected. If the team that got them had known how well they would turn out, they would have taken them earlier, rather than risk some other team getting them.
Your human half is confusing your Vulcan half on this one Spock.
I am not confused. If a player that you like is ranked outside the top 200 you don't pick them in the first round no matter how much you like them.
