Over the previous ten years ('08-'17) only 72 of 320 first round picks started 16 games as a rookie. Less than half of them (150) started more than 11 games.
I realize there may have been a few who were opening day starters who then missed more than 5 games with an injury, but the fact remains that your expectations are too high for first round picks.
That's fair. I didn't realize that few first rounders were starters as rookies. What are good expectations to have for first round picks then?

Zac Taylor 2021-2022: Double-digit wins each season, plus 5 postseason wins
Zac Taylor 2023: 9 wins despite losing Burrow half the season
Zac Taylor 2024: Started 1-4. If he can turn this into a playoff appearance, it will be impressive.
