Raiders cut 2017 second rounder Obi Melifonwu

[Moo Daeng]

Just because you liked him pre draft for no other reason than he is big doesn't make him a good NFL player.

I wanted him last year. Last time we picked up an in the box safety drafted in the second round who didn't live up to the hype he had a pretty good season and parlayed it into a big contract. Let go Hurney.

is mike Mitchell even with a team anymore?

This kid just doesn't like football that much. No thanks.

And you can tell that sitting from your couch?

I don't know if he's worth bringing in but he's on his rookie deal . Couldn't be too expensive as a second rounder.

From the article

NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport noted that, aside from injuries, one reason Melifonwu was waived was because Oakland "never quite felt he loved football enough."

 

cant tell from the couch, but im sure the staff that deals with him everyday can get a good idea

No because he sucks.

Like for real, he's not very good and this board overhypes him because he played well for our Defense that had the most sacks in the league that year. He has been below average ever since.

As long as he likes to work hard and not ruffle any feathers, there's a place for him on Ron's team.

I said it in the Iloka thread. Hurney likes Gaulden. I doubt any S will be brought in. 

We have two safety positions.

If it wasnt for his lack of desire to play the game of football. 

Honestly I think he'd be a good prospect and groom at OLB.  

He is almost identical to Shaq coming out but more athletic and played safety in college.

You see more and more of the smaller OLB in the league now.  Kyzir White a guy some people here wanted to draft for SS.  The chargers, have moved him to OLB.

He can play up, move, and tackle with some ability to cover TEs and the slot but cant cover over the top
