I’ve said it before but it bears repeating.

I’m taking Ojabo with the intent to take another edge guy snd signing a vet or drafting 3 total edge guys. Every team that contends needs 2-3 edge guys anyway snd this class depth allows us to do that at a discount.

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.
