You have 1st round picks that started immediately.  You have 1st round picks like Hall, Joseph, and Pollack that didn't crack the starting lineup until midway through their rookie years.  Perry didn't become a starter at all.

Point being, if the FO was dictating to Marvin who dressed on gameday, they would logically also be dictating he played 1st round picks, as well.  Since so many 1st round picks didn't play immediately, we can infer that Marvin had power over playing them, and likely also had power over the gameday roster.

My point is that YOU said that prior to 2011, Marvin didn't start rookie 1st round picks. (which I misread as simply "rookies")  Anyway, even though there are guys that weren't 1st round picks on that list that came off of the top of my head, there are still 2 very good examples that refute your claim that Marvin didn't start 1st round draft picks in their rookie year.
