I also judge 1st round draft picks largely on their first five years.  That's when you have them under a rookie contract.  After that, maybe you get a slight hometown discount, but you are largely paying them their market value as a free agent.

No one forced the Jaguars to take a project at #1 overall.  I wanted Hutchinson as did many others.  Think of it as a 5 round boxing match.  Walker lost round 1.  It's early, but he's clearly losing round 2 so far.  He could still win the fight, but he's clearly behind and has given little indication that it will change.
