It is the easiest 53-man roster for a rookie to get playing time. If Ballard's picks going back to last year -- thinking specifically Wilson, Basham, Smith, Turay, Hines and Stewart -- aren't making significant contributions (don't even have to be starters!) by the midseason mark, Ballard will and should be criticized.
Also honestly think Ballard gets criticized if Nelson is just a guy out there and not making any big difference on the OL. Risk you take when you draft an OG at #6 overall.
