I think that if it takes more than 2 years to develop into an NFL-caliber player the player is not worth the investment.  If we rode undeveloped talent for longer than that, we become a farm team for the others. I get kinda pissed when we develop talent for 3 years then they have a contract year and demand top dollar.  The window should cliose after two years.  Move on.  If another team wants your project, let them have it, but the NFL is about performance, not potential.

What bothers me is this--we give the first and second rounders more time to develop that the day 3 and undrafted players.  It should be the other way around. If you are a first rounder and you are not on the field as a starter by year two--especially if you decided to come out after 3 years in college--then I am going to have a talk with my GM and you.  In my view, Legette has 1 year.  Raym, on the other hand, might need 2. 

The issue that makes it more difficult for us is that we have been going through a cycle of terrible coaching hires and replacing them every year or every other year, cycling through GMs, scouting staff, etc. That's one of the issues that makes it hard for me to evaluate what Bryce really will be after his first season, it was a disaster around him. I don't know that he will develop into what we thought he would be, but not many guys would have a chance in their first year with all the turmoil he had from a personnel and coaching perspective. I'd say the same thing for Johnathan Mingo too.
