2023 2nd round #41 pick is BJ Ojulari LB

[Brak]

I'm all for the "high character, locker room leader" type of guys.. esp if they're a beast on the field. Love the pick. New culture incoming!

Don’t we have enough linebackers?

Not for the 0-11 defense we are going to unleash.

 

[LoyaltyisaCurse]

Undersized yes?

Never enough!!!!

 

[ajcardfan]

I watched several LSU games last year and I would say he is a good player. He never struck me as an elite player but if he did he would have been drafted in round 1.

He is not run stopper however. On the smaller side for an EDGE.

 

[gmabel830]

Will he be used like Reddick in PHI?

I see Reddick listed at 6’1 240, and Ojulari at 6’2 248. So definitely possible, but I think Ojulari needs to get better again the rush to be a pure DE.

Very possible JG sees Ojulari as his Reddick.

He's also very very young, just turned 21 years old this month. So you were watching him at 18, 19, 20 years old playing against the best competition in college football. Lots and lots of potential since his physical prime is still 3-5 years away.

I agree with this. I think they play him at OLB in base and then at DE in sub packages just like they used Reddick. I really like this pick.

 

[Buckybird]

ESPN gushing over him. Saying there is literally nothing they don’t like about him.

Who the hell is Mel Kiper? To quote Bill Polian lol

Guess who was right?

He’s not the one trying to say Myjai is the same player

 

[SoonerLou]

This.

Monti and Gannon are crushing this draft.

So this makes passing on Anderson not as bad right? I love trading back for a good future first but did want Anderson.

 

[Buckybird]

You get my point. And yes he is the same player. Not saying he’s not a good player because I think Mijay is. We could’ve had better, more impactful dudes imo. We shall see! Just remember the names Keon White, Julius Brents, Keanu Benton & Cam Smith

Our Dline & CB positions are absolutely dreadful.

Brents is a 6'3 corner. I can't count on probably 3 fingers the number of successful corners that are 6'3.

I'm guessing he'll complete for Gardeck's spot, which to be honest, was a real position of need.

Not my favorite. At this point he can only play on passing downs as he’s useless against the run. He has some upside and fits the 2 year plan, but not every player can bulk up. There were better choices.

Ok you got me lol
Watch him play. I think he will be a fine player

This puts to bed that nonsense that the Cards were only looking for a bigger 4-3 style edge. Clearly not.

We’ve heard a lot of that from you over the years annnnnd….. yeesh

 

[Stout]

I don't hate the player, although now we have two edges that aren't any good against the run. What I hate is we ain't getting a starting center, and that is a GDed crime.

The same argument was made about Reddick outside.
