What is the verdict on Okam?

[kravix]

He was a fifth round pick who many argue has first round talent. That aside DT's dont typically come out of the gate in full glory for everyone to bask in. The odds of him not making the team next year are slim imo, if he was that bad he would be on the PS atm or no where.

His upside as a player, his size, and what ever ability he has shown in college and the NFL, adds up to the player being groomed to finally move TJ back to where he should be.

Mario- sink or swim
Ryans- sink or swim
Amobi- sink or swim
Daniels- Had to prove he was the better TE
Bennet- Needed a chance to play
Diles- Needed a chance to play
Adibi- Needed a chance to play
Slaton- Hit the ground running

Our biggest impact rookies over the last few years, and only Mario, Ryans, and Daniels have shown consistently that they are better than average.

Talent wise Okam is no Henderson or Hayensworth. Right now I couldnt even tell you if he has the talent TJ does, but obviously the coaches see or hope there is something in the kid to play at this level.

I said it about Mario, if you asked me about Amobi now I would say it, and I will say it about Okam.. DL cannot be judged until the third year. Hell I will even say that about TJ till the end of this year, given the piss poor coaching and bad positioning he had prior to last few years.
