Are you trolling? Or ignorant?
Herschel Walker was taken in the 5th round of the 1985 draft.
He played 1985 for the New Jersey Generals running for 2,411 yards.
The Cowboys drafted his NFL rights. Not the player.
They spent a draft pick on a player who could potentially never play a down in the NFL.
Herschel went on to score the gamewinning TD in week 1 of the NFL season for the cowboys and set a franchise record for 292 yards in weeo 15 (84 yard TD run and 84 yard TD reception).
Hey, I don't think the draft position means shite. Tom Brady is considered the GOAT and he was drafted in the 6th round and spent time on the bench before becoming the starter. What matters is what you do when you are put on the field.
It's your fellow fans who think it's somehow an indicator of how great they are, so take it up with them.

Spending a 5th round pick on a player in an entirely different league and under an entirely different contract is actually impressive.
You make it sound like any other 5th round pick after any other minor league system.
Some say that the 5th round pick was the best one in cowboy history (for the 4 year contribution of walker and the trade value to the vikings).
