They're certain to be non-competitive for 2-3 years, but they're also odds-favorable to be dominant in 4-5. If you're 23-24 years old and feel undervalued in the league, would you think it worth the gamble to keep your head down and work hard for little immediate payoff, gambling on eventual superstardom.
Like, suppose you had been drafted by the Cowboys a year or two BEFORE Aikman and Emmitt came along?

Possibly.
Counterpoint is the average career is 3-4 years. A 24 year old is likely to be washed by 2024.
