dsorc Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Apollo got one of his guys with Ejiofor. Hopefully the injury will not cause any long--term issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Stallion Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Man crush with Giane complete - Ejiofor could have been a 2nd rounder if he could have been healthy for the combine. I don't think he's a star, but he's an upgrade from Covington, Dunn, Heath. We desperately needed better insurance for Watt injury and I would have been perfectly happy with him in the 4th. Solid upside pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jch1911 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ejiofor - I would prefer to also have some workout #s to look at / compare, but (1) has college production (2) from H-town! (3) it's 6th round https://www.footballoutsiders.com/stat-analysis/2018/sackseer-2018 I may have leaned toward Kylie Fitts or Ade Aruna (Roll Green Wave!), but I am cool with Ejiofor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Stallion Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Ejiofor had 16.5 TFL last year and 20+ sacks on his career. Another great example of taking stars from under the radar programs and amazing value with all of these guys instant contributors vs. hope and a prayer developmental crap under RS. 6th rounders have been throwaways under Ricky, if healthy, Ejiofor is going to push Covington and could very easily be a sub package pass rusher killing two birds with one stone.

Apollo Stallion Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Interesting side note from the Gaine class that has absolutely emerged. SMART - HIGH Character. Reid - STANFORD Rankin - Academic All American Akins - Mature, Pro Baseball player, married w/kid Coutee - self-motivated hard worker with laser focus Ejiofor - HONOR student Also, Gaine seems to actually recognize our home state has talent vs. Ricky who's heart was stuck in Ohio/Chicagoland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzzyTexan Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think there is plenty of risk with the Ejiofor pick but I love the value. I think he'll be a solid player for us with upside. Im guessing he will play OLB? behind Clowney. Great production in college but there are concerns about a concussion history (that has caused him to miss games in the past), along with shoulder injury that kept him out of the combine. On top of injuries I don't think he is an amazing athlete but he could turn out to be a solid player. Good pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jch1911 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Also... Rams have made 4 really good draft choices (1 offense, 3 defense) so far IMHO. Giving players like John Franklin-Meyers + Obo Okoronkwo + Sebastian Joseph to their loaded defense is going to be nasty. I predict Okoronwko may even end up in the discussion about top rookies - if he can add weight and maintain explosion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texansfan713 Posted April 28, 2018 Author Share Posted April 28, 2018 I would go CB Holton Hill, and QB Riley Ferguson with our 2 6th rounders. Also, who knew there was another Christian Covington coming to the league. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mse326 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Another guy I'd be good with is Bo Scarboro. I know he lacks speed but he is a freaking load, so we may actually have a chance to convert on 3rd and short. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longhorns90 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Alright, here's the first of two in the next four Jordan Thomas, another TE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jch1911 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Jordan Thomas!!! Hahahahaha! At the very beginning of the draft season, I wondered if he would be a good addition to the team (I actually hoped he would put up crazy good measureables) The more I read about his lack of polish and then when I saw his measurables, I thought nawh.... Then when I read about from scouts how they could not justify drafting him, I thought even more nawh... And yet... here we are! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
