Njoku is a playmaker.

I wouldn't tell that to Ty Sambrailo. He thinks he's better than a rookie LT. He's probably right. What happens if he goes out and outplays the rookie? (Not at all unlikely since Bolles will need to develop).

Then Bolles doesn't even start. Meanwile OJ HOward starts and makes the pro-bowl. Wouldn't that be great!

Holy **** CLE just got Njoku???

This team is doing some baller shit.

He'll go early in the 2nd round though, not available when the Broncos pick.

EDIT: Well, I was wrong. Cleveland just got him. I though he'd go in the top 5 picks of the 2nd but Cleveland must have known someone was set to grab him ahead of them, so they traded back into the first round.

Cleveland sure did win the draft this year. They've got some great players. On the down side though they are still Cleveland.

Foster dropping like a snitch with cement shoes.

Dude scored a 9 on the Wonderlic. Ouch. Last 2 first round picks are dummies.

I gotta admit I got super excited when OJ was so close. But knowing Elway would get first dibs on the 3 offensive tackles and choose the one they agreed upon before the draft makes me happy too. Gotta be solid on the o and d line before all else. With Njoku gone I hope they spend the next 2 or 3 picks on
5 technique DE's and a nose.

He has a documented learning disability.

They'll **** it up, they always do.

Bolles wasn't racking up a ton of mileage to become a 25-year-old rookie, he's not an old/beat up 25.

Well truly know nothing about this dude, and was like many hoping for Christian - but good seeing the familiar names here after barely even lurking for about 5 months. Go Broncos!

I have a feeling...not this time.

But you are probably right...

Ever the optimist.

2. OJ Howard isn't that special.

Otherwise, .... ok.

Analysis
Strengths Exceptionally gifted athlete. Has long arms and massive hands for his position. Tremendous acceleration into his routes. Has tools to torment defenses on second and third level. Play speed resembles a wide receiver's when the ball is in the air. Linebackers have no shot against him in space. Can turn a short throw into a long gain. Light on his feet and smooth out of his breaks. Easy separator who creates instant throwing windows when he hits the gas. Natural pass catcher who plucks it away from his body. Can adjust to poorly thrown balls and secure contested catches. Shows no lack of toughness over the middle. Can be lined up all over the field. Monster championship game in 2015 season revealed true potential. Has elite ceiling as playmaker. Lands his hands inside the frame as a blocker. Operates with wide base and attempts to snap hips into his block.

That's the official draft profile from NFL.com. Sounds like a complete bust to me.

I could give a fuk. Derek Wolfe is my guy. Why? Because he signed that 2d contract with love. And he's kicking ass. Pro bowls? Close, close.
