Yeah, but if you look at guys that were 'conventional' picks there like Willis or Wormley, they're not playing much either.
Expecting immediate contributions from a 1st rounder is fair - but it's not exactly common for 2nd round picks to hit the ground running. Sure, many do, but just as many do not.
And when you're taking a guy as green as Kpassagnon, you really can't expect that he was going to be among the guys that make an immediate contribution, especially when you're trying to teach him to be a stand-up linebacker.
If you're looking for some near term help, you'd be more likely to get it out of someone like Jelani Jenkins. Jenkins isn't much of a player, but he's a player that can play right now and not embarrass himself. He's still just hanging out in FA after being released by the Raiders and at 25 yrs old he'd know that this may be his last, best shot to stick in the league land earn himself a real contract.
If you're counting on K-pass to be a player this year, I think you're simply barking up the wrong tree. The odds of that ever happening were extremely slim.
