Look - every team does their thing. GB did their thing, and it arguably cost them a trip to the SB this year. If they had an impact player for ARod, it could have made the difference for them in the NFC Championship game. Instead, they have Jordan Love riding the pine.

You are right. Teams aren't obligated to start their first round pick. Especially if that player doesn't give them the best chance to compete. However, I view first round picks as (should be) immediate starters, especially those picked in the top 10. That's why they are drafted where they are drafted, not to develop into starters in a couple years.
