Emmanuel Ogbah-Beast-Oklahoma State

Phoenix49ers · 2015-10-24T15:21:39-07:00

Official Draft Ogbah thread. 6'4", 270 pound monster that has been on an absolute tear this season. He's been incredibly productive thus far in his college career. He's fairly raw, didn't start playing football until 7th grade and is only a junior but nobody has really been able to stop this guy. Has 22 sacks already in his career and is on pace to break Leslie O'Neal's OK State school record. Figures as a fit at 4-3 DE or potentially a 3-4 OLB. Physically he is already well developed for his age and comes with good athleticism for the position, reportedly running in the 4.6 range. Teams have had to resort to extreme measures to stop him, check out the triple-block here, both the TE and FB come up to assist the OG in stopping Ogbah. Ogbah clobbering Jameis Winston. http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/105339/constant-improvement-sparks-emmanuel-ogbahs-dominance-for-oklahoma-state The Oklahoma State defensive end dominates games in ways few can. He has set up shop in opponents' backfields this season, recording 7.5 sacks, nine hurries and 11 tackles for loss in six games. "His ability to take over a game, from a defensive end position, that's something unique," Oklahoma State defensive line coach Joe Bob Clements said. "He matters. You have to know where No. 38 is on the field. And even if you do know, he still has the ability to make the play. Those things don't happen by chance. There's a lot more to it than just luck." Those seeds were planted long before they sprouted this fall. The early mornings running stadiums, challenging summer workouts and extra film sessions to make sure he is prepared each Saturday, are the underlying factors every time he steps on the field and dominates. "I work way too hard to settle for less, that's what I tell myself," he said. "It comes from the hard work put in during the summer and spring. Running stadiums in the cold, cold air in your lungs … we only get 12 games [to play]. We want to win championships, we want to be the best, we've put in the work. It's a pride thing, we've worked hard to earn this reward."

Unless we draft in the teens I can't see him falling to the 2nd.

Unless we trade down I don't see him as viable option at the 1st round.

It depends where he ends up at, how this season goes, how his offseason works out. There's still some questions about his technique, some bad form that needs to be corrected and I'll be especially interested to see him dropping back more, see how does in coverage and in agility drills. How he does could determine whether he's seen as just a 4-3 DE or a guy who can be capable as a 3-4 OLB. I can see him going anywhere from inside the top 10 to as high as the early 20's. I do think he's got a ton of potential and the productivity has been there, no question, he's had some big games against good competition.

He's been killing it this year and Baalke likes taking DEs and making they big OLBers.

If we win another game we will miss out on a QB in the first ( which I'm fine with) I'd love to grab a pass rusher like this guy.

He's currently ranked 29th overall on cbs sports..he's got 16.5 TFL and 12.5 sacks this season. I'd like him as a Aldon smith DE turned OLB

Would be perfectly fine with taking him in the 1st. We are in our Nickel package the majority of the time anyways so even if he can't drop back in coverage, he can still rush the passer and set the edge in the run game good enough. Brooks is the only OLB I feel comfortable with dropping in coverage but if this guy can rush the passer as well or better than Lynch, which I think he can be a freak like Ansah, take him!

Phx, do you think he could easily play 3-4 OLB? He seems much more fit for a 4-3 DE but I think we could transform him. He just seems soooooo damn big.

I see some Aldon Smith in this kid...He's a DE currently (like Aldon was) but he's got the same build as Aldon coming out of college (6-4 270) He's got long-arms and just seems to have a natural ability to get to the QB.

He's far from a finished product and I think you can mold him into whatever position you want him at.
