Bennett was hurt and missed all of training camp. Then he got healthy after camp and DURING his rookie season. Starting by midseason for a rookie who missed all of camp may be a record. He was on the field as soon as possible. Show me a quote from Kubs that says otherwise.
As for Diles and Walter... like I said, you've got two guys who practiced hard, drew praise from their coach, and earned spots. There is no correllation to Okam.
The correllations for walter and diles are Deljuan Robinson and Jesse Nading. Both are hard working young players who have performed well enough in practice to EARN their way into the DT rotation.
