Amobi Okoye to the Chiefs. Opinions?
 

I understand that we're not going to trade up to make this happen. I'm just curious how you guys feel about this kid, and what you think he'll do in the NFL. I personally would like to see us do almost anything to get a hold of this kid because I think he's gonna be a stud. There are a lot of guys that frequent this board that know a whole lot more about him than I do though. Is it hype? Or is this guy gonna be the real deal?

A very Hali-type of kid, mature beyond his years. I'd be overjoyed to see him here.

He's the real deal.

I was hyping this kid before the media hoopla started hell yes I want him to be apart of the team

probably the best thing that could happen for us.

draft okoye ........ cut sims

Agreed. Doubtful it'll ever happen, but agreed.

I would be happy if he fell to us, but unlike some I wouldn't want us to trade up to get him.

I think we should go after him, but we can live without him

I'd love to get him. A DT that could put pressure on the QB would do wonders for our _efense.

I am usually against the idea of trading up, but a 19 year old DT with his talent and energy is rare.

He could, theoretically, anchor the middle of the defense for 12-13 years.

This is one time I would fully endorce trading up if he somehow managed to slip into the 17-20 range.

He will go to the Ravens somehow-they always get the good D players.

Yep.

I've seen a few mocks that have him dropping into the 18 range...

If he's sitting there and the Chiefs didn't pick him, I think I'd be pretty disappointed.

I agree with Brock and the Hali comparison.

There are other solid players that should be available, but DT has sucked almost as long as WR in KC.

Well....except for that whole "ravens run a 3-4" and Okoye isn't a huge, run stuffing DT or a prototype 3-4DE.

Type slower so that Halfwit can keep up.
