2023 2nd round #41 pick is BJ Ojulari LB

[Chopper0080]

I can’t believe that we have some on this board already passing judgment on a 2nd round pick one stinking month into his rookie season after missing 100% of the offseason. Really???

It is ok to be disappointed by a player. It isn't a referendum on his future career.

I’m not sure that Luketa is slow, but he misses tackles when he’s juked.

Luketa is slow for an NFL edge player. Not really debatable.

I’m disappointed that he was injured in the offseason & because of that he’s not ready to contribute just yet. Because this team really needed contributions from him sooner rather than later. Maybe I’m wrong, but I see him being a steady contributor and not an eye opening stud.

And this is what is disappointing for some because they share your view. Generally speaking, steady guys contribute right away, especially if they are drafted highly. The competition for Ojulari isn't that great.

My guess is that he isn't strong enough to contribute at this point and Gardeck has the sub EDGE role locked down. Looking at the snaps and the roster, Rallis seems to be ok with players who are limited as a speed rusher but can hold up at POA and can bull rush.

Yeah, how dare anyone desire more than 9 snaps out of their 2nd-round pick?

Bad take, PA. No one's crucifying the kid here. Bad take.

Crucifying?? Bad take on my part? LOL. You have a claim if the kid had been around for OTA’s and training camp. He wasn’t.

Cement shoes.

So far, he’s definitely been exposed as the 7th round pick that he was. He’s only out there because of all the injuries on the D.

This and slow

No one's complaining about the kid (really, so far); we've barely seen him.

But how and why did we invest the 41st overall pick in the draft in a guy who wasn't healthy and couldn't contribute?

Yes, a bad take. 100 percent a bad take. You act like posters are crucifying the kid or writing him off already. Wanting a 2nd round pick to be able to muster more than 9 snaps isn't an uber-negative take that would prompt this reply.

I get it. You'd rather the entire board be in jackbooted lockstep in Positivity Fantasy Land and never whisper one word that could ever possibly be construed as negative. Nagannahappen.

Edit: And this is coming from a hardcore darksider who has, in case you've missed it, been sunshine and daisies this season. This is why the whining about negativity irks us, if you would like to know. When we get positive and show positivity on the team, someone like you will go nuts the first time a negative word is perceived. That's way, way more annoying than "constant negativity" @PACardsFan. Way worse.

Edit 2: If it offends your sensibility so much that you can't believe we'd say such horrible things, take the advice you always want to dish out and simply don't reply.

Edit 3: This is to say I have no more edits

 

[PACardsFan]

This and slow

Yep. I think the staff liked his motor and attitude, but he’s been a liability whenever he’s on the field for too long. And with all the injuries on D, he’s definitely been on the field too much.

Did we definitely know he was injured to the point that he would miss as much time as he did? That I don’t know? Whatever the case, he now needs to stay healthy and improve every week. I expect he will, but I’m sure this discussion will be ongoing throughout the season.

Must be horrible to be 85% miserable throughout the year. But, you’ve chosen that path for yourself, so not my place to try and change you. Your perception of yourself being mostly sunshine and daisies is quite funny though lol. My point has nothing to do with my overall positive demeanor. Just silly to be critical of any rookie in the first month of a season when the kid has had no offseason.

Please point to my bevy of negative posts since the season started. In case you didn't read it in the first place, I did say since the season started. Because why flip out about a bad team that was set up to be bad?

What's silly is to be critical of people worried that a high pick rookie is limited to 9 snaps in a game.

I think you misinterpreted my post. I do know that you have tried to be more positive of late. That’s why I did laugh at how you described that. Just to be clear, there is a reason why Ojulari only had 9 snaps. He’s been used primarily on 3rd downs, and our D was so bad that the Niners almost never needed a 3rd down to earn a fresh set of downs. Otherwise, he would have had far more snaps.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

Ask any NFL scout what their expectations are of 21 year old draft picks. This is a non-issue unless same time next year he’s also not producing.

 

[GatorAZ]

Y’all need to chill. He’s been just as productive as Tyree Wilson.

No one considers Tyree Wilson a success, either.

Another strong showing!

How many snaps did he get? I saw him on the field once after a play but wasn't looking for him.

Tyree Wilson was the guy I most wanted us to NOT draft. Other than a few of the QB reaches, he, above all, screamed bust with a mega horn.

He better be better than Tyree Wilson, because Tyree Wilson was drafted by the Raiders, and the Raiders are stupid and Wilson sucks.

That said... I'm willing to wait on BJ, thus far, he's done jack all, but also, thus far the staff and front office look competent. Maybe BJ will work out... and even if he doesn't, no one bats 1.000.
