Ray75 Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Ojabo said he could not remember if he met with the Eagles this week. In formal interviews Eagles have prospects shooting hoops. IMO you’d remember such a meeting so my guess is that the Eagles had an informal meeting with Ojabo or didn’t really talk to him at all (highly unlikely).

Fortunately, since I’m a huge ojabo fan, the Eagles have taken picks we have talked little/not at all with: as recently as Dillard. ojabo is going to be a stud imo.

Cheesteakitis Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 guess sitting on the bench with BG for a year wouldn’t be bad if we could get him in the 3rd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way he drops too far. Guys come back insanely quick from ACLs anymore. I guess he still goes late 1 unless injury is devastating. Too much upside.

He's going to drop though and it's whether a team wants to take a chance on a full recovery etc. He's essentially going to need to sit his full rookie year really.

Agreed, but no chance he drops to 3 like previous poster stated. mid 2nd at very latest IMO. probably end of round 1 very early 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philafan4o8 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 His raw talent and 1 year of production was already putting him as a borderline 1st in my mind. Now he is definitely a 2nd rounder. If the eagles want him, trade down or out of 1st to gather a 1st next year, maybe a 2nd or so for this year and get him with a high to mid 2nd rounder. Eagles definitely cannot draft him in the top 20 now with the injury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Shiznit Posted March 18, 2022 Author Share Posted March 18, 2022 Feel terrible for the kid. If it is a tear, he will drop, maybe even beyond mid-RD2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having your 2nd rd pick make zero contributions in year 1 is a tough pill to swallow, especially in a deep DE class like this. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked good this past season but that’s all. One year production and played opposite of potential #1 overall pick (which I hate to hold against him but I must take it into account) so the guy is already a risk. Add an Achilles tear and I am out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would’ve sucked injury or not. Look at Cam Akers, he came back in the same year after tearing an Achilles. Today’s surgeons and therapists are amazing. These injuries used to be career ending. I wouldn’t be afraid to take a chance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidMoFo Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I’d pick him in the 3rd, after adding an edge in the first, terrible news for Ojabo. I don’t remember all the details, but college game day did a story on him and his mother’s journey from Nigeria to Scotland, basketball to football, etc. He’s a player I’d root for whether in midnight green or not… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles definitely cannot draft him in the top 20 now with the injury I agree - could be a blessing for us to get him later while picking up a pick. Heck, you could go with a DE like Johnson, Karlaftis or Walker or possibly .thinedoux with a trade up in the first to fill the need, then trade back with one of our firsts to have another second and an extra high pick next year and if Obajo is available with one our seconds, you take him so in 2023 you have a DE rotation of the future with Johmson/Karlaftis/Walker, Obajo and Sweat and you get an extra high pick for next year in case we need a QB or are still absorbing all the dead cap money Howie saddled us with. Another idea would be to take swing DL Wyatt in the first and Obajo in the second and have Wyatt play DE for a year or two then have rotate/replace Cox at DT. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brkmsn Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I'm not so sure he falls all the way to our 2nd round pick. If he did, I would have no issue taking him there. We wouldn't need him to start right away, but getting a player of his potential with a #2 is worth the wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waiting4Someday Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 I was already out on him because of the Reddick signing - awful break though. I figure somebody will grab him in the 2nd - bummer he can’t go back to school for a medical redshirt or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiwieagle Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 Some guys that get injured in the pre-draft still work out really well as picks. Guys with that super high upside to be special at times are worth gambling on - don't think Titans are complaining about Jeffery Simmons. Of course sometimes you whiff out e.g. Sidney Jones. Ojabo has the sort of the upside that I can live with a rookie year right off. I no longer want him at 15 or 16 but OK with the Eagles taking a flyer on him at the back end of Rd 1 following a trade down or trade up in Rd 2. Luxury of multiple picks is you can use one of them on a guy who has a really high upside if things work out, even if its a bit of a flyer compared to some other prospects.
