The draft only ends up in disappointment for the vast majority of teams and players. Teams that are shitty enough to be at the top of the draft inevitably fail to develop those players. Those players, in turn, might get slightly more than their lower counterparts for their rookie contracts, but the absence of any real development means they wash out in a few years. The players that are in the draft that are most likely to succeed are announced on the ESPN ticker a day or so after the first round.
