And you're wrong, Muhammad did develop as he was for the Colts what Trey What's His Name (As you so disrespectfully refer) Hendrickson-role...

Also, the Saints did learn their lesson the next year in finally releasing an old, incapable veteran in favor of Granderson, who took advantage of his snaps...

Sean is slowly learning as a coach in the NFL, you do have to put in the time and coach the rookies up as well, as it does pay off...

I like it, draft and then develop, who would have thunk it to be that simple. One addition though, let your developmental players see time on the football field, in actual games, and not just on special teams. If you’re “developmental” players take years to reach maturity..., then you’re effectively developing other team’s players.

Let em’ play!

Trey Hendrickson drafted in 2017, didn’t start until 2019, only starting three games then. Why?

Well, remember all my Saints history when Jim Finks, Jim Mora would draft, develop players only to let them go to other teams as rookie contracts expired...

No salary cap then, small market, Tom Benson was super stingy; Rickey Jackson once demolished Tommy-Boy's prized conference table because of low-balling...

What I'm saying is you take players on and you kinda gauge when they should be taken snaps, starting based on where you take them in the draft...

First Round should start Game 1, Second Round should start sometime Year 1 or be in a rotation, Round 3~5 should be taken moderate snap loads Year 2...

Rounds 6 and 7, yeah punters, kickers you want under contractual obligation and special team guys that can be developed and possibly retained if you hit gold...

Colston wouldn't have been given a chance under that scenario. I feel players should get playing time based upon how well they can do their jobs. Who cares what round or how many picks they cost? You put your best team on the field. Round drafted should be forgotten and not come into play when deciding play. That is short-sighted, don't you think?
