Haha! Guess it depends on which thread I'm reading. Could it be that Okafor's being looked at as a 4-3 end and not a good fit for our 3-4?

Could be but you really would have thought somebody would have taken him.He was a late 1st to 2nd rounder.

I had heard that Okafor is a quitter and has a tendency to only play hard when he feels like it as opposed to giving 110% 24/7. That was the report on him. He grades as the best pure pass rusher in this class but has very poor/inconsistent self motivation/work ethic. For whatever that's worth to you. I feel like it's late enough that you have to give him a shot at this point. To much talent there to totally give up on him.

hmmmmm interesting. dropping this far in the draft might just be the wake up call he needs if that is the case. he is definitly the last player i expected to drop this far

Re: Push all your chips to the table!!!
 
He is the one player id like to see us be move up aggressively move back into the 4th for.I cant see him getting past the first couple of picks though.

U mean 5th and 6th.

Re: Push all your chips to the table!!!
 
right now i would have to say no. i like the kid as you all know but at this point in the draft i would do all i could to trade up in the fourth as long as i knew i could flip the pick ahead of time.

get the fourth back and recoup 5th

i am bailing on BPA at this point because the BPA differential in rounds is not that great as it is in previous years.

Keeping Drew upright is our greatest need.
