We need guys who can play NOW, not developmental projects. I'd love Okoye, too, if we didn't have immediate needs at other positions.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

He needs time to develop, and he needs to be in the right situation.
I agree that he's not going to reach his physical PEAK for 2-3 years, but you've got to measure his ability to make a current impact based upon what he did last year, against guys that are 2 years older than him. I think even at his current level of development he has the ability to add more to a team this year than perhaps any other DT in the draft, older than him or not. The upside is just gravy.Originally Posted by Jan Reimers
Wake up, brush your teeth, and get ready for a day of hating the Dolphins. Or the Pats? How to choose?
