Same with WJII now. If it was as simple as that then why do we even bother with Training Camp, OTA or hell even practice? Just throw him in there who cares if he has never played the game at the highest level, missed the majority of training camp and is coming off of a major injury. That sounds like Madden Football not real life. 

The Steelers also have nothing at CB. Kirk is developing. Dennard and Shaw are both getting their time.

If Will Jack can't immediately force someone as truly terrible as Chykie Brown off the team with pure athleticism and god-given talent, then he never deserved to be a first round pick in the first place.

Kirk is in his 5th year. (He has gotten to be pretty decent, stupid penalties aside, but still hasn't been worth the 17th overall pick those years ago.)

Dennard is in his 3rd year. He looks to be too slow to keep up with WRs (not a surprise from his 4.51 time he ran) and he won't get faster as he gets older. 5-10 pounds of muscle and a move to safety might be his only future.

Shaw looks like a pretty decent player, but for a 4th round pick, it's not strange for him to still need a little work in his second year. Still been rather pleased with him thus far.


At some point the Bengals started treating rookie contracts like developmental time, rather than cost controlled player time. It shouldn't take 5 years for a first round CB to be any good.
