I think you answered your own question. The team took a swing on a player at a premium position with elite traits but who needed a redshirt year to gain weight and strength. I don't think there has been a lot of talk because most understood that FAU would need the season to acclimate. The fifth year gained by drafting him in the first softened the blow of not playing right away.
Now we will see if it paid off. If FAU isn't getting real snaps this season then the elephant arises for sure.
