Next, we'll take one of the most controversial figures to ever be in the draft.  NO ONE doubts his talent.  So, let's take him and the shitstorm of scrutiny that comes with him.  Now. let's sit him for a year.  We'll suffer the backlash and get nothing in return.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.  Sheesh.

These guys have a lot to prove to get playing time.

1. Experts on the entire playbook.
2. Can they block sufficiently and no be a liability.

It is more than running or catching a football, they also have to be able to do all things well and that is why many rookies on many teams don't start or get a lot of snaps. Not because coaches are stupid, but because any weakness they have will be detected quickly by a DC or an OC and that becomes the point of attack.
