If Ojabo never regains his explosiveness, we would still have 2 edge guys next year and if he does, we have a Von/Shaq/Ware kind of situation for 4-5 years…both scenarios solve the problem with similar resources it would take to move up for an elite edge guy in most drafts from where we will be picking in the forseable future.

If we get Karlaftis and Ojabo…then add another edge guy in the 3rd or fourth (Williams, Isiah, Cam or any of 4-5 others) as a hedge pick for the Ojabo pick….we could afford to extend Chris Jones instead of trading him because of the value from this draft.
This is a deep DE class. There's no reason to take 3 just to cover your ass because you wasted a pick on Ojabo. Take 2 that you know can play and be done with it.

All of this talk of hedging your bets so you can take a huge question mark in Ojabo is just foolish.
