I’m not trying to be argumentative here. What reason is this. Why is a player taken at 13 vs 28 vs 41 in your eyes?

They are taken at the higher position because they are perceived to have a better chance at success. Is that always the case? No, of course not, but statistically speaking it is. Players taken in the first round have a success rate of 83%. Players selected in the second round have a success rate of 70%.

Does that mean the success rate of every 1st rounder is the same? Of course not. You would have to agree that players taken in the top 15 of the draft have a greater chance of success than those taken in the next 17 slots, no? That's only logical. Otherwise what would it matter what a team's picks were?
