I’ve been telling everybody if the DE is under 265 lbs the Saints aren’t taking them. They have an archetype. Ojulari is a 3-4 EDGE. He’d likely end up just like Baun down here because he’s too little to stop the run in a 4-3. Schemes play a lot into these picks.

I think it’s a bit early to confine him to a certain stereotype. Danielle Hunter seems to be doing just fine playing end in a 4-3. I do agree that he’s likely a 3-4 edge guy.

That’s valid. BJ doesn’t strike me as a player that’s going to put the weight on to play 4-3 DE though. Hunter wasn’t that far off, but I can’t argue that projections are only educated guesses. I will say BJ went to a 3-4 team.

Ironically Hunter was the comp I was just thinking of for Foskey. Hopefully sans injuries.
