Amobi Okoye

What do we think about this cat?

[Fritz]

Cool name. Any relation to Christian?

[Lurker64]

He's explosive, athletic, very very young so he has a high ceiling, and doesn't have any obvious signs of being a slug. I'd be happy with him.

I personally love this kid...he's a 19 year old 4 year starting senior. 19 years old...as a rookie he's going to be 20 years old..that's awesome. I think he's got a huge upside, and a high motor.

isn't this the guy that showed up very light?

280-290 id kind of small for a DT

19 scares me a bit, but it does show the guy is smart as hell, and he could get bigger

[ND72]

if you saw the kid, you'd think he's bigger than 280-290 if that is the case. He's extremely fast for a DT, and continuously pushed the pocket backwards the past 2 years...this is a kid who started at a D-1 school at the age of 16....there are 16 year old kids not ready to start at a D-1 HIGH SCHOOL program.

Think he has pro-bowl potential?

I hate making assumptions on rookies...but, I think if you give the kid some time, he could definately come around to be something special. The big thing for us, we have a TON of DT's...do we permanittly move Jenkins to DE? then what do we do with KGB? lots of question with almost anyone we draft...depth is great...but money could become interesting on that DL.

If the selection is made with due diligence on the part of the scouts, I'd love to see a defensive pick like Okoye in the first round.

A great defense and a good offense can win a Super Bowl

I wouldn't be opposed to making Jenkins the permanent starter on RDE. It will most likely happen. KGB will probably be a role player. If he's the best available go for him, but I think a playmaker on offense is more important.

i think you might have answered your own question. the kid could be special in time. the good news for us as you mentioned is we have a lot of depth at DT. he wouldn't be thrust into action right away if he's not ready.

and we could always move one of the other DT's, like cole, allen, or williams and pick up another mid round pick

this kid sounds to be like he could be a DE at the next level. he dropped that weight for the senior bowl for i reason i think. he might want switch, or show teams he could go either way. a 305 pound DT doesn't make me drool as much as a 290 pound DE

and if you do draft him to be a DE, then IMo you keep jenkins as the other starter at DT along with pickett, and still try and move one of the other dt's

for me, we have greater needs and right now, d-line isn't top priority with jenkins looking good at Re last year. with jenkins and kampman at DE pickett as one dt and the huge rotation for the other DT. and KGB coming in on passing downs. i think we look pretty solid on the d-line

[RashanGary]

He's definitly a guy that is looking pretty good at the SR bowl. I'm a pretty big fan of Reggie Nelson. I think DB's with ball skills are pretty important and we don't really have any outside of Woodson.

[Freak Out]

He is someone you want to keep a close eye on if your name is TT. He has some freaking amazing moves for a big guy. Still growing and can get much stronger.

Cool name. Any relation to Christian?

No, they aren't related,

He's real fast, but like most LVille lineman, he's not as big as advertised.

Petrino likes 'em super fast. I didn't think Dumerville would make it, but he did all right for Denver.

I'd say this kid would be worth a flyer.

A first? I dunno.

NFLDraftCountdown and GBNReport have him going at #9 and #12 respectively, so the Packers may not have a shot at him. Although DT is seen as a position of strength on the Packers, I don't think you pass up a player of his talent if you have a shot at him at #16.
