He can get better. There's still time. Khalen Saunders didn't become a good impactful player until year 4.

Pretty much this.
Also one of the hardest positions to make an immediate noticeable impact at unless you are one of the elites. Even then, guys aren’t hitting their prime until around year four or five.
I don’t think FAU has the sand in his pants to be a great player ever, but to hold that as the expectation for pick 32 or whatever he was would’ve been wrong to begin with.
If all he does is turn into a good pass rusher by year 3/4 — not too different from what Dee Ford did — that’s a fine pick in what was a pretty weak draft class.
