I most certainly do not.

Give me the guy that's more NFL-ready, that's more plug-and-play, particularly at pass rush.

Well development seems to be more and more happening in the off season. Training camp seems to be about installing the scheme, and during the week it is all about the upcoming opponent and what they will do. You have to look at does he have the athletiscm to play the spot, can he bend and get around that edge, and can he learn and is coachsble. Experts will be working with him during the offseason. He has gotten better each year. I think it may take a few years, but if patient he should develop barring injury.
