Excellent, and illustrates two specific guys I personally think PFF has failed miserably at with their rankings. Ojukwu is an excellent OT prospect, and I have a 5th nearly 4th round grade on him personally. He is 6'6' around 310lbs and the dude has massive mittens at 10.75 inch hands and 34 inch arms...with multiple years as Boise's steadfast LT starter (over 3,500 snaps)..while not a long range guy his quick twitch/burst and hands are a tough thing to handle for the opposition lined up against him. His first two years he was a RT, so if we would need to run him on right side it is not a foreign stance/footwork like it is to some. He is very aggressive in run plays, and will absolutely try to bury his opponent if at all possible. His base/leverage at his height is really the one thing which will need refinement and with that his anchor will get that much stronger. I won't say he won't be available in the 7th but I will say I'll be shocked if he is.
The other is believe it or not Adebawore - this man is straight up a BEAST. He can be a big outside tackle OLB type or put him over a tackle and he thrives as well...fact is he is just an ELITE physical specimen but on top of that he has tape to back up he knows what to do with it. But seriously folks we are talking about a 282lb DE/DT type guy running a FREAKING 4.49 forty....folks that is faster than many WR prospects (even some ELITE HOF WRs). He jumped 37.5 inches...broad jumped over 10...benched 27 times....IMO I wouldn't even be upset if Gute nabbed him in the first if our scouts believe he is as special as his tape and measurables seem to think. Personally I have him in the 30s with a borderline first grade nearly.
On the whole I like the draft for sure as I think Ojukwu is a MASSIVE steal. Bell is a SOLID WR that I think is a WR4 out the gate type even as a rookie on any team, Conner is an OOBER athletic safety prospect that has Green Bay tendencies written all over him and I think good chance he makes it to Day 3 which is a big return potentially on lower pick. O'Connell is a fighter and a gamer...he will NEVER be a starter unless out of necessity but the dude will fight and will some wins if called upon - he can sling it, but his best trait is his will to win and stand in the pocket taking a hit if needed.
My critique is simply way too many safety type guys...liked to have seen one of them be if you want to stay in secondary get a boundary corner with maybe some length or a style that could be a safety as well....also I love JSN and I think he would pair greatly with Watson/Doubs but I just have most likely a ton of prospects for sure higher than him at 15 personally - BUT I get the pick and like say the Dillon pick, my disagreement wouldn't make me not excited because there is a LOT to like there in JSN.
