If Leonard Taylor had this kid's polish, motor, and awareness, he'd be unstoppable.
A true freshman year and a spring does not make or break a career, but I am incredibly nervous about 56. You sign a kid like that in hopes and borderline expectation that he's a first-round pick. I've seen very, very little that could even hint towards that through a year here.
Hopefully Mesidor can push him, because it's time to go. If you're that dude, it's time to start putting linemen on your highlight tape.
As far as Mesidor, I agree 100% that this is clearly the best kid we've got out of the portal so far and is a Day 1 impact starter. The front 7 is miles ahead of any other concern I have with this team, and we just got a lot better there by adding this kid. Still a LONG way to go to be a formidable defense, but this kid made us a better team, no doubt.
