Think people are being a bit tough on Jankowski. When he was drafted, there was definitely something to be excited about, however, it was also clear that this was going to be a long-term investment/project.
First year in a real league, didn't play his natural position, didn't blow anyone away, but showed he could belong against this level of competition. He's bigger, and likely more used to his size and the NCAA game, so am fully expecting to have a more impactful year this year.
I think his 3rd year will be the real checkpoint on his progress, as he'll have his first year at center under his belt after this, his 2nd year.
