Tupou looks like a much better player, but this will be his 5th year in the NFL. He is not going to make a dramatic improvement at this point, but Shelvin might. A lot of very good NFL players struggled as rookies.
Feel the same way about Carman, but at least Carman shown some great flashes at times.
You never know what you got with these young sophomore players, they could end up being great or flushed out of the league.

I haven't heard what kind of shape he showed up in this year, but hopefully he can put together a good 2nd season for us.
Heard Shelvin isn't in great shape but it is hard to tell with big NT's on what (in great shape) is honestly.
These guys are built to stop the run, they just need to have stamina. I don't care what they look like.
Vince Wilfork didn't look like Aaron Donald but was a beast at stopping the run and could rush the passer a touch.
Hope Shelvin turns out something like Wilfork.
