AMAZING PICK!
Our secondary just became a strength.
This forum all loved Obi. Although the few of you that wanted him in the 1st were getting way ahead of yourselfs.
We are having an A+ draft so far. |

would be a huge understatement to say I'm relieved we went defense with our first two picks.
Both picks may not work out, but at least we addressed one of our 2 biggest team weaknesses (Secondary, pass rush). _________________ Bah-Weep-Granah-Weep-Nini-Bong

Don't see it. Chancellor is a hitter. Obi doesn't slam people, he covers well though. If anything, it's one of Obi's weaknesses, I wouldn't trust him to run through people or stop a RB coming right at him one on one. _________________ Bah-Weep-Granah-Weep-Nini-Bong

Preferred Zach Cunningham to be honest, Obi might be an athletic freak, but he seems to lack the skills. Typical Reggie move selecting a project in the 2nd round. |

Love it.
We have our pair to Karl on the long run.
5'10 rangy speed guy with great skills and football IQ paired up with a 6'4 freak, who can cover TE's and can tackle really well.
Sounds familiar?
Our secondary just got a lot better.
I think McMillan was #1 and Obi #2 here for us.
Now we have to root for Duke Riley or Anthony Walker to be there in the 3rd. _________________ WIN LOSE OR TIE...RAIDER FAN 'TIL I DIE!!
