Am I misunderstanding what is being suggested? Or am I missing anyone that’s this has worked with?

I think you are right that if a guy isn't ready in a year or so max then he probably isn't going to work out anyway, but the term developmental in itself can still apply to a guy who needs a year to learn or transition over to the nfl game. They still need to develop a bit. Now a long term developmental guy or project player? Like you said, probably not worth bothering with.
