But it sounds like it's not a given Okereke is physical enough to be an every down guy. Just from what I'm reading. I haven't seen him play myself. So I'm considering sub package / matchup-specific for now.

Good eye, Ballard just compared Banogu to Jamie Collins (who I know you shared my intrigue on as an athletic freak at ILB).

Hopefully Banogu has his head on straight moreso. Collins was just a weirdo and it looks like his career might be over as a result (Ballard would have the opportunity to grab him right now and obviously hasn’t).

To recap the day:

I love the Ya-Sin pick. Immediate upgrade at CB4 and potential CB1 in a couple years. A lot of growth potential there with a high floor. He’ll contribute this year.

Banogu is intriguing, but it worries me that they don’t have a more defined vision for his role. Seems like they like him and his athleticism and hope Eberflus can make it work. As I said, I’m intrigued, but this one has some bust potential. I feel the other picks have safer floors. As GBB said, this at least tells us they want to be more multiple, especially when coupled with the Ya-Sin pick. 2019 could be a de facto redshirt year.

Campbell is a dream fit for this offense. Reich must be giddy tonight. Also, don’t forget about the upgrade he provides in the return game. Love the value of getting him at 59. He’ll make a difference even if he doesn’t touch the ball (though Reich will make sure he gets 8-10 touches a game in 2019).

I really like Okereke. He’s likely LB2 is sub packages early and could definitely unseat Walker in 2020.

Ballard said Ben can play all the LB positions as can Leonard and Walker. He said he will most likely start out at SAM and then possibly MLB. He also said he can move him down to DE to rush the passer. I like this pick a lot, so he'll probably be a bust.

Watched some video on Cambpell.... wow he has some serious breakaway speed! Once he gets in the open field nobody is catching him. He has good hands too. I also noticed he bailed Haskins out a lot on bad throws.

Luck is going to love this new toy!

Campbell was easily our best pick the rest of these guys are for depth which I’m fine with but there’s no doubt Campbell will have the most impact on this season

Rock will be starting by mid season, BB will start by late season. Both will play a lot.

He has top end speed we haven’t seen on this roster in a long time at WR. Hilton is quick and fast but he hasn’t had reliable breakaway speed for years.
