Yes, I hope he pans out too. I do understand about the development cycle for D-lineman. Few come in and do much right away. I think we also found a player in Johnny Jolly and consistent play from the line, so Harrell is not immediately needed. I've also heard it's hard to find good D-lineman, so sometimes in order to build future depth, sometimes you have to draft, stash and develop. Perhaps some positions you imagine more of an immediate contribution, perhaps not D-lineman as much as others.
Like I've wondered, if TT knew pre-draft, what he knows now about their development, would he have taken Harrell, or might he have gone for a Leon Hall? How well could Hall have done as the nickel corner?
Ah well, this thread is played out, I guess. We'll just have to see what the guy can do when he has the chance to do it.
