These systems rely on being lucky with picks (Slaton- Terrell Davis).

If the system is so good wouldn't it be reasonable to expect a talented, good vision 1st or 2nd rounder to get 2000 yards.

Can you explain how that is the downfall of these teams. With Denver it seems to have worked very well. And with the Texans it resulted in Slaton. You can call it lucky, but if you do, how about an explanation for how this is the "downfall" of a team that ran the ball as well as anyone for over a decade.
