This is stupid.
IMHO anybody drafted Rd. 6 or later is not owed ANYTHING!! They should be scratching and clawing to make a name for themselves. Starters should probably reach out to the big name early round drafters I suppose, but are not default-coddler-coaches to these fringe camp bodies.
Starters are under ZERO obligations to help somebody take their job and are not classless jerks or pussbags if they don't. They shouldn't be jerks on the practice field/locker room/etc. of course, and should help, but aren't a welcome wagon for the newbs BEFORE day F'n one!
I'm NOT downing any of the later picks as players, talents, or people; but this is one of those wussy PC-Principle BS "everybody gets a trophy for playing" stances. Football is tough & should be earned at every level, especially the highest.
