This is from ESPN Insider right now in an article about this year's rookie class being one of the weakest of all-time. 6 of the top 10 picks from last year have negative WARP(Wins above Replacement player) Here is an link describing WARP to people who don't understand it.  [URL='http://www.sonicscentral.com/warp.html']WARP LINK[/URL]
These rookies are supposed to be the reward for the bottom teams to get better and 6 of the top 10 and a 7th is out for the season have NEGATIVE affects on their team this season. Which means the draft is not doing what it is supposed to do which is not give cheap labor, but give the worst teams the best spots for new talent.
