Thing is, it still takes coaching. It still takes development. Over the past 10 years there have been about 20 CBs that were at least 6 feet tall and ran a 4.40 or under in the 40, and only seven of them were taken in the 1st round.
Most of them got what I think of as the ol' "USC Special" or the "Texas Special," where a guy doesn't get proper coaching and development so he should have been a 1st rounder, but gets taken in the 2nd or 3rd because he's still a phenomenal athlete.
He will be a dawg. Hence Top 10 pick.
I think Pete's settled on favoring coaching over recruiting in his assistants. Just thought about this yesterday as some NFL draft analysts were talking about how most people just assume these guys learn technique (e.g., things as simple as lining up properly on the DL) from their college coach but in reality a lot of staffs just want great recruiters and don't really teach.
Pete seems to want teachers (who can also recruit), which is why we hear so much praise for the development of UW NFL prospects.
To all the guys like Ringo out there, if there's one thing I would drill into their head it is this: You are already a great recruit; you don't *need* a great recruiter, you need a great coach.
This goes for guys like Wilson and McMillan, too. Notice we didn't hire a guy known for being a great recruiter, we hired a guy known for actually being able to teach the position. Having a salesman as your position coach isn't going to help you once you are in the program. Having a great teacher will.

Good shit man but we all know Paopao ain’t teaching a god damn thing. Doods last year as a GA & first as an actual coach saw the player responsible for Paopao’s promotion get a DUI along with a huge drop off in production. I 100% agree wit your post and chinned it, I just cannot wrap my head around that fucking guy still having a job let alone at the UDUB when Bama fired Tosh Lupoi for losing one game to some freaky freshmen even though Tosh was by far the best recruiter Saban has ever had.
