Even if he turned out just as good as Edmunds, people will still complain for the same reasons. Anyone drafted to replace Edmunds will be asked to do the same things that Edmunds does, which by nature don't stand out to the casual fan. They won't need to pay as much, but they'll need to deal with a rookie learning curve and potentially a bust.
If you read that profile, it says he struggles against the run. He's pretty much an Edmunds clone, except a little shorter and a little faster. No idea what kind of intangibles he has or if he's a "process guy."
