But since it was an unproven ZT and a FO traditionally trashed for breathing (and rightfully so on many things), it was a questionable pick. I think Zac is pretty intelligent and does his homework. With an OL in bad shape and a glass TE on the roster, this pick was smart. Sample learning the playbook quickly also speaks highly of his work ethic and desire to do his job.

That's typically how things go even outside of football though. Someone who has an established level of excellence is far more often going to be given the benefit of the doubt over someone who is brand new or has had questionable decisions/production in the past.
