I would say expecting a difference maker is a little much. Maybe if we did have that top pick of the 2nd, but we didn't. Not that you can't end up with a game changer, but expecting it might be a bit much. The further you go down in the 2nd, that expectation lessens. And quickly. A second should definitely be a part of the main mix of players at the position, while showing a good amount of flashes. I think that's where he will end up on the year. A guy who shows flashes, should be in the main mix (let's just hope it isn't because everyone else sucks more), and should improve as the year goes.Still a 2nd nonetheless. Maybe I'm weird for expecting 2nds to be immediate difference makers on the worst team in the NFL versus being projects.
Or, you can find a guy in the second that is more ready now, but less of a ceiling. But a see what you get type of guy. It seems that Poles, based on his strategy throughout this draft, is using his rebuilding year to gather top athletes that don't look weak. And use a development year to get them experience and learn nfl moves.
The last bit, is a guy who has all the traits as a first rounder, but got injured and fell. Some you hope make it put of the second and tho the third/fourths rounds. The really good ones would probably go in the second, but they will likely take a year or two just like a project would. If they ever even fully recover or are able to stay healthy long enough to be a difference maker.
