You would also hope that a first round pick is starting before his fourth year. I think that is the main point of animosity towards Kirkpatrick, and also why people are getting frustrated with Dennard. First round picks should be major contributors before their third and fourth year. If not, then they probably should not have been first round guys to begin with...
Agree 100%. You want more from your first round picks or it just feels like a waste of an affordable rookie contract.
Hopefully after Dre finishes out this season where he makes $7.6 million, the Bengals move on and let WJ3 start in '17.
I'm guessing Dennard will be taking Leon's spot in the slot this year.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
