Here is my theory.
Bad teams are worse at picking good players and and/or coaching them up. At the same time first round picks are also much more likely to play for bad teams that have bigger holes in their rosters.
Meanwhile better teams are better at choosing good players and then coaching them up. But first round picks are also much less likely to start for a good team withj a deeper roster.
So while first round picks that start right away don't do as good as those that sit a year it may have more to do with the team that selected them drafting lesser players and then not coaching them up properly.
