It's worked out exactly that way...
No one knows how it works out until at least two years down the road for most players selected after the first couple of rounds. One week into the very first preseason isn't a prime time to be making any judgments.

Well Dan Roushar lit a fire under his arse about his work ethic; and apparently Zach Strief felt compelled enough to pull the rookie aside as well...

But PFF recently graded him as one of the top rookies (going against two's of course); a better gauge will be him playing with the ones in the final PreSeason game...

Still...umm...worrisome that a fire needs to be lit regarding a 4th rd rookie's work ethic. The terms "soft" & "immature" comes to mind. Hope they turn him in the right direction. Regarding PFF, the Cards admit to lacking any kind of DLine depth & he was adequate vs Jax. Coaching is what's gonna save this kid's bacon.
