You drafted a Guard in the 1st Round...he developed...now Pay Zeitler!

Not bad to have, and you need plenty of them on your team to make a good team, but it doesn't mean you should be paying them $9-10m/yr.

I just don't see Zeitler as a $9-10m/yr player. He doesn't take over any games, he doesn't dominate anyone. I don't know if it's him, or coaching (probably at least in part coaching), but he never became that dominate blocker in the run game that they expected him to become when he was drafted. Honestly, I think a healthy Boling is a better guard than Zeitler.

Good point. What players actually do develop from there rookie year here?

Atkins comes to mind as one. I can't think of many though.

Guys like Jeremy Hill have regressed.
