Excuses, Rudolph will sit on the bench for at least 3 years.

Eh, I agree somewhat. At the least by next year Rudolph will be number 2. And Ben is getting older and does get hurt. I see Rudolph starting one or more games somewhere in the 3 years. Plus, toss in if the final game of the season if it is meaningless.

Guys, one reason Ben spoke out more on them drafting MR could be:

1.) They used a 3rd-round pick on him - a round where very good players can be found. Sure, there are examples of good players found in any round, but more are found in round 3 than 4th and later.

2.) He is one year older, window closing faster so using a 3rd round on a player who won't help us win in next few years is more notable to him.

Exactly. A perfect example of Ben thinking (sort of) about himself and Colbert correctly thinking about the whole team.

Yep.

Colbert has been one of the longest running General Managers in the NFL for a reason. He understands the importance of not just building for the current but also the future.

As you have seen me state before jeh, Colbert's successes far outweigh his failures.
