[QUOTE="FrankRizzo, post: 538802, member: 2232"] In olden days, that was more of the case. Nowadays, rookies have had more immediate impact and are expected to. In fact, the teams who do well these days are teams with the most young guys on their cheaper rookie contracts performing well. As for waiting til the 3rd season goes, that's no necessary either, to evaluate a draft pick. Just on this list, look at these picks. Of the 4 picks in the 2011 draft on defense, you ba e3 of 4 guys who were let go, no longer are Packers. And you have the other, a cornerback in House, who was taken ahead of Richard Sherman on Ted's board, most likely because House had faster combine times. 2012 is newer, but 2 seasons under their belt. We know Hayward is a player, after one year. And we know McMillian isn't as he was already released. Same thing, amazingly, about Terrell Manning, whom Teddy traded up to select. Those cases can be closed already. I would bet a lot of $ that Worthy will never come close to meeting expectations. Daniels has contributed, and Perry does too when healthy. ALthough don't let him be in space. 2011: CB Davon House (4th round, New Mexico ST.) LB D.J. Smith (6th round, Applachian St.) LB Ricky Elmore (6th round, Arizona) DL Lawrence Guy (7th round, Arizona St.) 2012: LB Nick Perry (1st round, USC) DE Jerel Worthy (2nd round, Michigan ST.) CB Casey Hayward, (2nd round, Vanderbilt) DE Mike Daniels, (4th round, Iowa) S Jerron McMillian (4th round, Maine) LB Terrell Manning (5th round, North CArolina St.) [/QUOTE]
