Dennard, Ced, Kirkpatrick, Jackson were 1st Rounders. None of those guys were starters as a rookie. They rarely played outside of special teams.
Zeitler played as a rookie.
I'd say it depends on the situation. When you're staying true to your draft board, sometimes your first rounder will not be a need. But it can't be stated as a policy not to play them.
Jackson was hurt, so how can anyone know how much he would have played?
