    Looked really good in his bowl game. Is there a reason he isn't really been mentioned?

    Fill me in please.

    Okafor is a decent OLB prospect for us but not a great one. He has good power to bull rush or set the edge. Is decent at using his hands to disengage I the run game. A bit better with his hands In the pass rush. Sadly, the best way I can describe him Moving in space is lumbering. Does not get his hands up in the short passing game and did not seem to have good awareness for the screen game. At this point I think he would be better suited to go to a traditional 43 team where his power would make him a very good LDE.

    I think we need a faster guy than Okafor.

    Alright, so he's better suited for an 4-3 defense. Thanks for informing me.

    would love him in the 2nd especially if we pick up another one in a trade down in the 1st
