Revenge of the Birds
Oluwafemi Oladejo is a really intriguing edge prospect coming out of UCLA.
We have gone through the consensus board, now we have to look at the players who the Arizona Cardinals have met with.
It won’t be as many, or there is overlap, we will not look at them again, but it will allow us to continue to build our board with some confidence.
This time, we are just using the Walter Football meeting tracker, and going in alphabetical order, and only top 30 visits.
Next up, a really interesting linebacker from UCLA Oluwafemi Oladejo.
From Lance Zierlein:
Linebacker-turned-edge-rusher whose draft profile might have gone from dull to dynamic with the switch. Oladejo is long and aggressive in attacking blockers in front of him. A lack of instincts in the run game and plans as a pass rusher could be temporary bumps in the road that should be smoothed with coaching. He greets and discards blockers with powerful, twitchy hands and still plays with a linebacker’s range and nose for the football despite his new position. He catches the “developmental” tag relative to his edge experience, but his traits and tape suggest he will make a difference sooner than expected.
What I like about Oladejo is he was basically a non-factor at UCLA, and his move to outside linebacker/edge rusher, combined with the emergence of linebacker Carson Schwesinger helped both their draft stocks quite a bit.
