I understand that is often the case, but I don't think it should matter where you are drafted. You should still have to come in and win the job. It would be dereliction of duty to name someone a starter - at any position - if he hasn't proven he is the better player...no matter where he was drafted. I hope we get a GM & HC who think the same way. Put the best players on the field.
