Projecting the 2023 NFL Offensive All-Rookie Team: Seahawks' draft class provides instant impact (again)
I only post it because he went off chalk to list Ojulari. Otherwise, what a dumb list before anyone has played a down. Why wouldn't you just go 100% chalk? Here's the draft. Here's my list.
BJ Ojulari
Edge
Drafted: Round 2, No. 41 overall
The Cardinals selected two pass rushers in the third round in 2022 (
Cameron Thomas and
Myjai Sanders), but new head coach Jonathan Gannon still invested a second in Ojulari to form a strong rotation -- just like he had in Philadelphia. BJ has the length and hustle to emulate his brother,
Azeez Ojulari, who had eight sacks as a rookie for the Giants in 2021.
Paris Johnson Jr.
OG
Drafted: Round 1, No. 6 overall
It’s unclear where Johnson will line up as a rookie after playing both guard and tackle during his college career. He worked at right tackle during minicamp, but head coach Jonathan Gannon
was non-committal when asked recently about which position the rookie will play come Week 1. Veteran
Kelvin Beachum could get the nod at right tackle, bumping Johnson to left guard, where he would move defenders on run plays and protect
Colt McCoy until
Kyler Murray returns from injury.
