They like to brag about drafting people who don't have to play right away. A No.1 choice should be drafted because he can help right away. If he bombs, ok, hold him back awhile, but try to get them in the damn game.
I think the first three or four choices should get serious looks at starting if they show they've got the chops. This always going with a veteran is not the way to improve.
It's like the old high school and college saying after a bad season: "The good news is we've got everybody back. And the BAD news is we've got everybody back."
Yep. And arguably 2 years ago we had one of the top 5 rosters in the NFL. It's hard to get a rookie to come in and start in that scenario.
This past years roster and next years roster...have ample holes where a rookie would upgrade.
A guy like Rueben Foster would be a major upgrade to Maualuga for instance.
