They need him to be a legit double digit sack guy for that pick to really hit. He's young and was really good collegiately so there's definitely hope there.
Dee Ford flashed his rookie year atleast a little bit IIRC and he was behind Tamba and Houston.
They rotate DE's so much, even being behind the guys he is, if he were ready, there'd be snaps available. He's a DE and it's a spot that's very valuable so it was a good pick theoretically even if it doesn't work out.
Atleast it wasn't a RB.

I doubt FAU is going to be very good next year. Year 3, maybe, let's see. But i honestly don't know if it matters. The DL right now isn't good because we have a bunch of young guys, Omenihu who can't tackle or play the run and a bunch of JAGs surrounding Jones. Good chance the DL is a$$ next year again, and it won't matter because we'll blitz and manufacture pressure exactly the same as we have the last few years. Plus we'll hopefully have a firing offense and solid secondary.
Best case Karlaftis and FAU develop quickly, Omenihu learns to tackle and we get some cheap run stuffers and break even. Worst case none of that happens and the DL is pants but it's cheap, and again, it won't matter.
