Seen Mel Kiper's first round mock draft last night on ESPN's "NFL LIVE". He has the Bills currently taking Okoye.
Now I know I a lot about football, and I'd like to think anyway, more than the average person.
But there are only certain college football players and programs that I follow, and Okoye wasn't one of them I admit.
I confess to knowing little about him other than what I'm hearing on TV and radio from other draft experts.
he sounds like a real solid player to me.. but the thing that confuses me is his size (297) makes him more of a fit to play in the spot both Tripplett and McCargo are sharing.
Does it make sense to draft this guy? I'm not being sarcastic I'm seriously asking. I would think if we were to get a DT it would be someone bigger who's more inclined to being a strong run stuffer.. Is Okoye this guy?
If hypothetically the Bills took Okoye, how would that play into the DT rotation?
I'm not saying I dont like this guy, I clearly do.. I just dont see how another speed DT is a first round need for this team. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong on this. Maybe this guy is another Tommie Harris?
A few other tidbits about Kiper's latest mock.
* He doesnt have Jarrett going until #18. In fact, he has him as only the FIFTH WR to go in the draft, after Boye and Rice. Not sure why he dropped like that. now I know this Bowe has been sensational in the Senior Bowl, but Jarrett size and need wise would seem to be a better fit.
For LB"s, he has Timmons going at 20 and Wilils not unti pick 30.
* He has Lynch going 16 to GB.
Thoughts on Okoye and how he'd work for the Bills?
