Actually every year you settle for a lesser player just because he is more "ready" that farther you fall behind. The better players pass the ready players within a couple of years.

Indy received the benefit of the Bengals developing Hunt. I'd rather receive the benefit of someone else developing while I made use of a guy who can help out this year.
Players don't take six years to develop. Hunt would probably have been starting within his first 2 or 3 years if he had the same coaches in the same situation he is in now. He was not a track guy who never played football. He was a three year starter and a First Team All Conference player. he needed some more polish but not six years worth.
