At the same time, the NFL really doesn't do that as much as you think. It's an immediate return league. If someone is being drafted now, it's not usually because they're looking to replace someone down the line. It's for immediate depth at a position, or they like talent. These GM's and Coaches look more towards the immediate year... The 53 man roster (as silly as it sounds) is very limiting on what you can do for developmental means. While I agree that we could possibly see that for a specific position, I'm not sure it's as cut and dry as what you're suggesting with transparency for multiple replacements.
