AzeezOjulari. 3. player. Pick Analysis. OLB. Georgia. 814. Scouting Report

Azeez Ojulari is not a perfect prospect, but he can become one.

As it stands, Ojulari is probably best suited for a 4-3 scheme, but a good coaching staff can turn him into an effective edge rusher in a 3-4 scheme, especially if it can help him improve his hand usage.

Ojulari played in three seasons with the Bulldogs and is coming off of a sophomore season in which he racked up 9.5 sacks in 10 games. That’s impressive.

He has a respectable first step but relies almost entirely on his speed to get around the corner to make a play, though he does display good flexibility in doing so. If he could add some pass-rushing moves to his arsenal, he could become quite effective as a professional.

He is also great against the run, shedding blocks and making plays on a consistent basis. He won’t be great right away as a pass defender, but he does have some experience dropping into coverage and shows the kind of awareness you look for, so he is coachable in that aspect.

The No. 9 overall pick might be a bit high to take Ojulari at, so he could be a trade-back option for the Broncos if the team was looking to acquire some additional choices and didn’t like the board when they went on the clock at No. 9.

He has great size at 6-foot-3 and a ton of athleticism. He is the kind of player many teams would love to get their hands on.
