Yuuuuup.
The board falling like this means I would've ended up with this guy in the first anyway and then taken McCoy in the 2nd. My draft is better for having taken Bradbury than it is for going into the first and taking:
Charles Omenihu, DE - Texas
Now the reason I didn't take him in the 1st is I'm not as convinced he's a stud as many round these parts are. I am convinced, however, that he's the 2nd best pure 4-3 DE in this class, especially for this scheme. Allen may have been a good fit as well but I prefer Omenihu for his ability to kick inside and still get after the passer if need be.
And as I looked at the board at the end of the 1st, I saw a real chance that he'd fall. The only stumbling block I saw was removed yesterday when the Colts signed Houston. I was pretty damn certain he'd go to Indy but thought maybe that would be Allen. Once Houston signed, the lane was wide open for Omenihu to continue his slide.
His only real issue is that he just he doesn't have very good bend and that's what makes him not exactly a slam dunk 1st round talent. But that's a more critical problem for a 3-4 OLB than anything and ultimately I think that's exactly why he's being slept on a little in this draft. Scheme versatility is driving guys up the board and he doesn't really have that. He's not someone you can put in a 2-point stance and send at the QB. He needs to come out of the 3-point stance and use that exceptional hand-fighting ability to win the rep.
He is EXACTLY what we hope K-Pass can be. If nothing else, he may actually rub off on K-Pass a little and help with him as well. This is a perfect fit and hopefully some of these wailing ****s will stop their moping for at least one pick.
Because if it goes how I think it may go, the wailing may start again here shortly.
