Then draft him later. Not in the first round.

No.
What I'm telling you is that in today's NFL, GM's and Head Coaches have four years or less to make it happen.
Period.
If you're a brand new head coach and GM, you're not going to draft a guy in the first round, let alone Top Ten, and "sit" him a year until he learns the game.
**** that.
Either you're NFL Ready or you're not. Regardless of position.

They are absolutely NOT "narrow-minded".
NFL owners routinely invest $10 million per year into their GM and Head Coach (and that doesn't include assistant coaches, scouts, etc.). They're not paying paying these people for 10 or 15 years down the road (which quite frankly, is a pipe dream, 90% of the time), they're paying for immediate results.
Immediate results.
