I never said anything like this. Please address the comments I actually make instead of creating straw men to knock down. All I said was that it was rare for fourth round picks to make immediate impact.
First of all Dawson was taken in the third round. I keep thinking of him as a fourth rounder because he was our fourth pick and we didn't get him until the 35th pick after every other team had made their third round selection. So from now on instead of saying "third round" or "fourth round" I will just say "taken that low (99th)".
Even though our fourth rounder from 2014 started every game (Bodine) it is still rare for many players taken that low (99th) to play a lot as a rookie. But there are a lot of people hear who think he would have an immediate impact. All I am saying is that if it was that obvious then he probably would have been taken a little higher in the draft.
I never said it was impossible for a guy taken that low to have an immediate impact. I just said it was not that common.
