I think there is a difference between a first round draft pick who didn't live up to the high ratings that, almost to a man, all scouts gave him, and a first round draft pick that gets tremendously high ratings by some and low ratings by others. There's a valid reason that high round picks go that early, and low rounders go that late, and that's because in general there is consistency among the scouts' ratings. It's possible to find a 'diamond in the rough', but it's unlikely that a bunch of scouts would love a player's projected ability (a first round pick), and another scout would say completely the opposite.
