Very good read and one I can get behind.

We as fans expect immediate rewards when drafting in the first and that's not always realistic.

It interesting the article reference JOK as being a rookie phenom. We passed on him twice in the draft. I still have reservations on the Davis pick but I am more frustrated with drafting a project in the first than in him as a player.

Parsons is clearly just being asked to play Edge and rush the passer. I dont know what JOKs being asked to do but if is also just being asked to rush the passer on passing plays .. then that is not comparable to what we are asking of Davis.

One thing I learned ... dont expect a rookie to step in at MLB and be your QB on defense. Just a much harder position with information overload for a rookie, especially a green rookie like Davis.

Del Rio also finally swapped collins/curl for an LB on passing plays .. and it worked a bit at 50% completion but we got burned as well.

At lest Del Rio tried something different.

That fair I don't know the expectations of JOK either. I was just going on the article calling them phenoms at the LB position. Perhaps that is a bit of a weak analysis of their expectations.

I am still worried about him being a project. I don't want to be in year 3 of his four year rookie deal hearing his is still learning his role.

I mean at year 3 you have enough evidence and game film to decide if he's worth keeping around or not.

But I think we should've learned by now we can't rely on these 1 year college starters to come in their rookie season and immediately play up to par in the NFL.
