I guess I thought he would develop into Reader's role because he wasn't a strong pass rusher.

I remember thinking the same, and Jenkins even mentioned something about it in an interview, but watching him get wrecked by double teams in preseason kinda killed it for me.  

The attraction for Grant is that he's actually a good pass rusher for a NT, possessing both the size and power to collapse the pocket and the burst and quickness to win outright.  Plus, he actually already has a fair number of pass rush moves to work with, already.  My feeling there is that with Hill and Tufele hitting FA, NT becomes a point of concern.  Grant could rotate with Jackson on run downs and improve the interior pass rush in passing situations.
