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?
