Ogbonnia Okoronkwo, DE/OLB, Oklahoma

i think his height is a positive for him with his arm. The leverage he can have would be outstanding.
What is going on with this guy, and how is he still available? Figure there will be a run on edge rushers in the 4th. There are a lot of guys stacked up with similar ratings. Just hoping 49ers still get theirs when all the dust is settled. If we can grab Obo, Sweat, Holland, or Armstrong next round it will be a complete draft in my eyes.

I'm pretty certain it's his height, and that the entire league is wrong (but it could just be me!)

I think he's kind of a tweener. He's always attacking and has a great motor, but may be better suited as SAM. IMO he needs better technique, more strength, and more bludgeoning.
If we come about with OBO today I will consider this draft a success

The size is clearly the issue, he can get swallowed up by tackles. I love the kid, he was a hard guy to project in this draft. He could be our Yannick him sweat have to be looked at today

This! Also to a slightly lesser extent with Ejiofor and Holland. Two of them and I'm giving us another A.
It's baffling to me that he's still available. He did nothing but produce at a top program and outperformed Davenport at the Senior Bowl. I still will not get over the 74 pick we wasted on a Pettis trade up and taking a project safety to corner convert ahead of this guy when value and need so desperately point to edge.

THESE!
I guess our guys just didn't like him.
Teams absolutely love size for edge. Sometimes too much lol. See Lawson last year. Or Dumerville in the past


Still have hope we double dip. But I doubt it. This draft seems to be really aimed towards size and speed etc
Ogbonnio to rams. He might never become a solid starter, time will tell. But regardless, there is some great value for him in the mid 5th round.
