No, it is absolutely NOT ridiculous.
In today's NFL, the first round draft choice is counted on to start and contribute immediately. Not next year, not the year after, the year in which he was drafted.
If player isn't NFL ready and isn't ready to contribute immediately, the player should have been drafted in any other round other than the first round.
I dare you to find a GM or head coach in 2013 that's will to "sit" on a first rounder.
PS - It ain't gonna happen.
