Some potential help at DE.

How many guys actually are able to come back from a torn bicep injury?

It depends on how bad it actually is. He played the whole season with it as I understand it..?

Not too many. I think Parys Haralson had a similar injury + being an older player didn't help his healing process.

Well Suggs and Favre have both had bicep tears and ruptures and both come back fine

Favres injury was at the start of the 09 season too
Didnt exactly play badly either. Well until Tracy Porter intercepted him anyway

Okafor isn't a sure thing but the talent is there.

Low risk/high reward. Worked with Nick Fairley.

Okafor may not be anything incredible but as a replacement for Kasim Edebali there's potential for it to be an upgrade. Definitely hoping we bring him in.

Thought Kasim played real well for us...

If they don't want a 6'2" Defensive End, sure hope they don't reverse and take a Barnett or other stubby defensive end...

See Chris, I like this visit; now, throw in Kruger and going into the draft we'd look like this on the defensive line...

DE (2) 94 - Cameron Jordan, 77 - D.J. Pettway, 76 - Mitchell Loewen

DT (2) 98 - Sheldon Rankins, 93 - David Onyemata, 92 - Justin Zimmer

NT (2) 90 - Nick Fairley, 95 - Tyeler Davison, 96 - Ashaad Mabry

DE (2) 99 - Paul Kruger, 00 - Alex Okafor, 58 - Obum Gwacham, 61 - Royce LeFrance

And if Onyemata progresses, or if Zimmer or Mabry could show something in the offseason, Onyemata could always kick out to one of the DE spots...

And that's before we draft anyone!
