This is only frustrating because IRL a 5th round could develop into a superstar, while a first overall could be a bust.

I've had many late rounders turn out fine. The key is recognizing good prospects when they only have 1 star potential. Plus you have to bring those late round guys along properly.
More often than not, it doesn't matter where the prospect is drafted or even how good of a prospect a guy is. If he goes to a good team and is brought along properly, he will turn into at least a serviceable major leaguer.
