Were all non factors their rookie years. Defensive lineman take longer to develop than any position other than QB.

Nah. WR. WR is about the worst there is. Sure, you can point to an odd Terry Glenn or whatever, but usually WRs, whether destined to be great or mediocre, don't do much worth talking about their rookie years.
You listed a whole bunch of guys who aren't likely to be great NFL players in their 5th year, much less their first.
I can probably name more DLinemen that were impressive in their rookie years than WR, especially if they are pass rushers.
Dwight Freeney, Terrell Suggs, Vince Wilfork (also started late in his rookie year, though he was really sharing time with Tractor Traylor), Richard Seymour, Bruce Smith.
But anyway -- see above for the 9 year old girls slapfight. I'm a Patriots fan and from here, your two teams' defensive lines aren't exactly impressing the hell outta me.
