Ford has displayed a good initial burst off the line, but he still doesn't actually have any real pass rushing moves, nor can he cover or defend the run at all. If he can learn them, he can be a good player, but facing a bunch of backup QBs who hold the ball too long and shittastic RTs isn't going to be a good determinant of his ability.
If you want a cross sports comparison, here are several:
Baseball: Mark Reynolds. He can crush the ball against AAAA pitchers and does nothing else well
Basketball: Danny Green. He can camp the 3 point line and make open shots and that's it.
And let's be honest, if Ford was progressing the way a first round pick should, he wouldn't need Hali and Houston to get injured to force his way into the lineup, he'd be an integral part of the rotation.
