And ...?
I never said no rookie on any team in any circumstance should ever be placed at the top of the depth chart in training camp.
In fact, I said every player and every team has different circumstances.
For example, the 3rd overall pick and top rated CB in the draft who is playing the position he played through college would be in a different circumstance than the 24th overall pick and 7th O-Lineman taken in the draft who is transitioning from OT to OG.
The coaches have to make the call when the time is right, and what this player needs to get ready. Obviously a guy at his computer screen can't
