Just quickly glancing at the list, what stands out to me is that almost all of the success stories landed in really good situations. Off the cuff, the picks that stand out to me are Collie, Edelman, Garcon, Breaston, Marshall, and Colston. I don't think it's coincidence that most of these guys had either Peyton, Brady, Warner or Brees throwing them the ball. It also doesn't hurt that most got to line up across from Moss, Welker, Wayne, Fitzgerald, and Boldin (and while Colston is the No. 1 WR, he gets the benefit of being one of many weapons to be accounted for). Now, the question is, does Houston, with Schaub and Johnson, offer a similar situation where a late pick could blossom?
