A few years ago, maybe a year before they won the super bowl but not sure, the Colts started 2 or 3 rookies on the o line. They struggled (the whole O in fact) early on but really played well by the end of the year.

Top ranked rookies can start on the o line & play well I think more so than rookie d linemen. I think the reason that a lot of rookies don't play immediately is due to more O linemen playing into their mid 30s, so teams that draft well usually have a few pretty good reserves who are ready to be starters. Of course, that's not been the case here!
