Karnage84 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Okwara..hmmm... Does fit as the pass rusher we needed. I remember Patricia being asked about the Senior Bowl. He said that it helped clear up the players they don't want as much as the players they do. Makes me wonder about Gallimore. I saw an article he wrote to NFL GM's.

Superduperman Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 and then if they finish off the night with one of the higher ranked DT's who are left, Madubuike, Elliott, Gallimore, then I'd say its a successful night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent value for him if you go by conventional wisdom. He's a lot bigger than Baun. He was given a 1st round grade other than his injury. Could be a steal for us if he stays healthy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimbaWho Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Dang. Lewis was a guy I felt like teams could plug in at RG day 1 and be fine with. Seattle just made a solid pick I think. Stil leaves Josh Jones available though. Idk what teams aren't seeing in this kid but I think he can easily handle his own at RT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Okwara is not a bad pick, I just feel like the Lions are passing on a better player. But maybe they know something about Jones we don’t. Edited April 25, 2020 by Louis Friend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManeLine Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) Quote Okwara was projected to be a first-round pick following an outstanding junior season in which he led the Irish defense with 12.5 tackles for loss and registered eight sacks, which tied with Jerry Tillery - a 2019 first round pick - for first tops on the squad. The Charlotte native was credited with 61 quarterback pressures by Pro Football Focus in 2018, which was the seventh best total in the nation. Okwara wasn’t nearly as impactful as a senior, making just seven tackles for loss and five sacks in nine games. His season was cut short when he broke a bone in his leg in the ninth game of the season. Prior to the injury his play against the run took step back and his pass rush production was well behind his junior-level production. Quote Okwara fills a massive need as the Lions generated the least-threatening pass rush in the NFL last season. Pro Football Focus was high on Okwara when he was on the field, giving him a 90.4 pass-rush grade before his season-ending injury. Wasn't on my list for the pick, but I don't hate it. Fits the mold of they want at LB Edited April 25, 2020 by ManeLine 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that he's a Lion it came back to me and gives me some hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
