Okafor and possibly K-Pass are gone next season and Epenesa would provide a pretty significant upgrade on both.
What really surprised me about Okafor was how light he played. He was a lot more agile than I expected him to be but he was also WAY easier to blow off the ball than I'd hoped. He was essentially a finesse player and I think part of our improved run defense came from his absence. He was pretty shitty against the run.
So you take a guy like Epenesa, who should be an outstanding run defender, and give him an 8-10 sack potential w/ variety of power moves that play better on the strong side than Okafor - he's a real nice bookend.
I think I'd be a pretty damn big fan of that pick.

I'd be ok with it, but I do think history shows us we may be able to find that without the 32nd pick.
