Ennjay Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 "Branch has the edge at DT in terms of potential, but Okoye gets the nod when it comes to production." This seems to be the exact opposite of everything else I've read. Has anyone else hear heard different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie Ray Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 every mock i see that has Willis falling to the Pats makes me feel bad inside. I would absolutely hate to see Willis in a Pats uniform. I think this kid is gonna be a good one and do not wish to see him there of all places. Would love to have him as our 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obie_wan Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 This is not totally true. I can remember watching Joe Greene destroy centers. I also remember Kent Hull being manhandled by a pre-drugs Leon Lett. The point is that Okoye would fit on our DT rotation even if he is considered a 3 tech. You obtain playmakers when available - the coaches can then design schemes to utilize them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prognastic Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 You should feel good seeing mocks that show the Pats taking Willis. You know they NEVER take a guy who they're "projected" to take. They're lucky to be in a position to take the best players available at 24 & 28 regardless of position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 I wish that I had Mel's job. Remember, the Lions are one of the few teams that have never even been to a Super Bowl, let alone winning one. You think Mel? Wow, get back to me when a team wins a Super Bowl without getting to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Donahoe Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 MOCK DRAFT: Mel Kiper's new First-Round Projection | March 13 24. New England (from Seattle) - Patrick Willis, LB, Ole Miss: Production, production, production, that's what you harp on with Willis. This kid finished just about every game, including the Senior Bowl, with 13+ tackles. Then came the Combine Meeting, where he ran an amazing 4.51 at 242 pounds and also came through with a 39" vertical jump. 28. New England - Reggie Nelson, S, Florida: Nelson brings a great deal of versatility to the defensive secondary, as well as demonstrating in the SEC with the National Champion Gators that he is a proven play-maker. He can cover a lot of ground and will hit like you expect from a safety. If only... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted March 13, 2007 Share Posted March 13, 2007 He has NE getting Willis at 24. IF he is correct, how good is a trade-down looking now? VERY GOOD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
