By not playing them as rookies, or with the case of Kirkpatrick and Dennard not until their third year, you lose a ton of value that was built into the current CBA. People are still wondering exactly what they have in Kirkpatrick, and he is already on his fifth year option. You take top, first round guys, and basically get them for "cheap" on their rookie deal. If they are drafted to sit the bench, then you are losing that value.
Agreed 1 million %
The majority of the NFL looks for guys who can contribute right away. The Marvin Lewis theme of rookies and young guys cant play football as well as vets goes against their rule that it is a young mans game.
Hell Shawn Williams has been on the team 3 years. We are plugging him in to be a starter and we really dont have a very big sample size of live NFL football to know what we have.
Margus hunt is entering his 4th year. We still have no idea what he has.
Im pretty sure it was tank johnson that had to tell the coaches to let Geno play over him. Geathers was taking snaps from Dunlap.
Hardison is supposedly set to get significant snaps. Was he even active once last year?
