[QUOTE="El Guapo, post: 549608, member: 5830"] To use a term bantered around here quite a bit, there is a lot of "ball-licking" that goes on with 1st round picks. Fans and media often think that they should all be first day starters. Just because a player excelled in college HAS ZERO correlation with how quickly they will acclimate to the pro game. Most college players don't start until their junior or senior seasons so how or why they are expected to have instant impacts in the NFL is beyond rational thought. Fans and media hamstring players because they had success in college. All it means is that in their final season, they were better than their competition. It does not mean they have a leg up on any other player entering the league. Micah Hyde was no better prepared to start than Datone Jones because of his draft position, he just acclimated to the NFL quicker. That's no indication of how either will play the game in 5 years.
