Ross was a 1st Round pick that rode the Bench. It took Kirkpatrick what 3-4 years to start. Heck...he barely played the 1st couple years. Dennard took some time.
If anything, history shows that Marvin was hard on 1st Round picks early on.
Then guys like Bodine are cited as examples, but it's not like we had a better Center behind the 4th Round pick. Management painted him into a corner on Bodine by not upgrading.
It would be nice if you or Fred, or anyone could find one example of Marv starting a UDFA game 1 ahead of another player with experience.
He had a shot with Burfict, but he was on the bench in game 1 and only came in game 2 because of injury.
