Didn't Saleh say he wanted more speed on D? This might be the guy especially if see him at linebacker instead of safety.
Everybody gets excited about these 6'3" Safety's who have a fast 40 time and a big vertical leap. But can't change direction and cover people. 220 lbs. - 230 lbs. doesn't change direction very easily. Don't get too excited. We have seen this before.

Check the workout numbers there. Pretty impressive too. Couldn't play at all. No stop and turn and change of direction on a dime. Like required for defensive backfield. It's possible to get too over impressed by a workout warrior.
I was so excited when we drafted Mays haha that was a letdown.

How much have you actually watched Emmanwori play?

I'm betting the answer is no.
