I'll reiterate what Payton said that sometimes fans have very unrealistic expectations of most rookies. Very few come in and make a big impact. Most are role players or special teamers at best their first year.

Guys like Vaccaro and Cooks have been exceptions to the rule. Hopefully Anthony is too. I'm fine waiting a year for Peat and Kikaha to season if they need it. Most rookies do.

I'm fine with Peat and Kikaha being rotational players, I think that was the expectation going into the offseason. Especially considering the fact tackle and Rush LB/DE are two of the harder positions to make a day 1 leap to stardom.

I do expect Anthony to be a Day 1 starter, considering the fact typically athletic AND smart MLBs that get drafted that early tend to make an impact right away. Considering his two competitions aren't true mikes, it would be a devastating failure on his part to not.
