Overview
Oladapo possesses classic strong safety traits and play attributes, which should help evaluators define him more easily. He has very good size, with the play strength and toughness to tackle near the box and enough cover skills to line up over tight ends in man. While he can play some split safety, he can be a little inconsistent in big space, so playing forward is his best bet. There is room for improvement as a tackler, but he generally pursues with leverage and takes his role as last line of defense to heart. He has "make it" size and attributes. He's likely to come in as a backup with special teams duties but has a pretty good shot of becoming an eventual starter.

Strengths
  • Athletic frame with desired build and play strength for the NFL.
  • Team captain who gets the back end situated pre-snap.
  • Swoops in using proper angles to clean up leaky edges in run support.
  • Stays in balance to tackle while driving downhill toward the play.
  • Can line up over both Y and F tight ends in man coverage.
  • Adequate ball skills to attack the throw and create incompletions.


Weaknesses
  • Bumpy transitions out of backpedal and struggles to change direction in big space.
  • Gets overtaken by long speed when situated as a deep safety.
  • Needs to meet blocking receivers with quicker pop to eliminate them.
  • Can be indecisive diagnosing mesh point on zone read and RPOs.
  • Shorter arms create some inconsistency as a wrap-up tackler.

Keep him away from quickness, like slot WRs, his change of direction is clunky as hell, but a large TE that struggles to change directions as well, he'll shut the guy down.

KITAN OLADAPO, S, OREGON STATE
Rd. 5/Pk. 169.
Height: 6-2.
Weight: 221.
40: 4.58.
Wonderlic: 16.
Hometown: Happy Valley, Ore.

Fact/stat: Heaviest of the top 12 safeties. Walked on in 2018 as a cornerback and was moved to safety. Failed a drug test in April 2019. Undependable and unaccountable during portions of his six years in Corvallis. Not regarded as much of a worker. Three-year starter at strong safety with three interceptions.

NFC scout: “I like him as long as he’s close to the line of scrimmage. He can run with guys in space but his game is close to the line.”

AFC scout: “He’s primarily a strong safety. He’s a big, physical guy. He’ll have a chance because of special teams and maybe even going to linebacker. I didn’t love him as a player.”

AFC scout: “Maybe late third (round), early fourth.”

AFC scout: “Poor tackler. He overruns angles in space. Limited strength on contact. Flashes playmaking ability but inconsistent physicality and temperament. Stiff, rigid athlete with limited twitch. Not explosive in his movements. Marginal change of direction. Has grown up and matured during his career. Different kid.”

AFC scout: “He’s going to change his hair color once a month. He’s going to be late to meetings. He’s sort of just out there. He is a bigger safety. He will hit. He’s more of a traditional safety.”

AFC scout: “I really thought he was a good football player. Strong safety or free safety. He has range and safety cover ability. At times, he wants to kill people instead of just wrapping up. I would rather tame a guy than try to get him to be aggressive. He’ll be 24 the first year (Oct. 20).”
Go Packers!!!!

He's going to be behind the other safeties while his foot heals up. Being a rookie it may take him all year to catch up. Once he does, he should be an exciting player.
