I think it has more to do with rookie contracts being such a bargain for those positions compared to other ones. A QB on a rookie deal is such an advantage when journeyman back ups command 15-20 million a year if they are stop-gap starters

This is a good point as well.

Also is funny how despite this there has been often 1-2 teams that decide to burn this value in the trash by drafting a guy that takes 3 years to see the field (ie Pennix)

That’s why the “Green Bay model” - despite anecdotal success, is honestly terrible resource management
