That said, is he likely to be immediately better than the guys playing, probably not, so maybe not a great surprise. And 2) one of the plus sides in his draft evaluation across the board was that he had quite a well developed pass-rush plan and a complete set of tools. So maybe there's a little less growth available there.
I still think the best counter is he's young, so he should have time to develop physically, and you can always improve your repertoire and technique. Plus even if our DEs aren't all that, they have experience coaches trust. So I reckon year 3 to see what we've really got. Just need to be patient...and I'll need to remind myself next year.

Karlaftis, Omenihu, and Danna "aren't all that good"?
They have a combined 20 sacks, and that's with Omenihu missing 6 ****ing games.
And that's also ignoring the fact that Chris Jones is part of that DE rotation, and gets his fair share from that spot too.
Also, he's 21 years old with more athletic upside than Karlaftis has. Are we really questioning his room for growth?
