McVay tends to let his offensive draft picks develop, learn the system, etc and not throw them out as rookies. Sort of tracks Van Jefferson's timeline.

So you add in this and the fact that Atwell seems to lack even a glimmer or hope for good things to come. His returns are terrible, no burst, no vision, the punter laid him out like he was a child.

Can you imagine him trying to block on a bubble screen?

I hope I'm wrong, and it's early, but the guy has shown nothing where you say...he's going to be something in a year or 2. Seems like a wasted pick. Which is ok, it happens, lots of teams blow picks in every round.
