No, it's a matter of weighing the probabilities.
There's at least some CHANCE(7% or less) that they'll be a stud. The probability of McNabb or Brown being good 5 years from now is
0.00001%, give or take. And that's just the cost of a roster spot, not the picks given up for them.
Antonio Dixon? Yeah, we put him on the practice squad. Where is he now? Oh yeah, on the Eagles as a starter.
We could have lost Austin or Banks as well.
