There's actually quite a lot, which seems to disprove the "can't get a key forward with a low pick" myth. I'm sure there are a lot more who didn't go anywhere, but it goes to show that you can get a good key forward with a low pick if you are lucky enough. Almost every team has at least 1 key forward who was a late pick currently playing for them.
