Is trading down worth giving up the chance to take a future Pro-Bowler

Generally speaking, u would rather have a "playmaker" at the safety position and a solid player at the DT spot then vice versa...besides franchise players or elite player or whatever u wanna call them are more important on the offensive side. The best defenses are those with good players that buy into a system and play team defense. Even though a team has a stellar D-lineman doesn't mean they are going to help that defense function. More likely, depth will help the unit better itself...so i guess 2 or 3 starters are better than 1 Okoye.

What makes Okoye a can't miss, future Pro Bowler?

I completely agree. It seems that everyone on this site thinks Okoye is something great but im really not sold on him. His selling points are that he is 19(hopefully will grow), a good character guy, and had a pretty good career but his career in no way indicates that he will be a dominate player in comparison to other DE's and DT's projected to go in the 1st round. He also played in the big east, as a hugh WVU fan I feel the Big east is a little underrated but i do realize that it doesnt have anything on the sec where alot of the other prospects are coming from. I would much rather trade down and pick up 2 defensive lineman then to push in all the chips on Okoye who is so overhyped in my opinion based on the fact that he is 19. A player I personally would love to pick up late is Jarvis Moss who has slipped considerably but who was a beast in the Sec, tore it up in the championship game, and who i have been seen be compared to former florida gator jevon kearse.

I like Okoye because he was a good college player & he still has a lot of upside. Mainly though, I think he's a guy that's humble & smart & will work hard & gell w/the team rather than expect things to come to him.

After reading about Landry this morning on wash post, I do think he doesn't sound like a good fit with Taylor. Basically you'd have two guys that can do the same things, but neither seems cut out to be a leader in the secondary.

Landry is the flashy pick & maybe he has more potential as an nfl star, but Okoye seems like a guy that will be at least a solid starter for years.

Jarvis Moss is another G. Adams type, I don't see him fitting in here. A lot of teams are looking at him to play olb in a 3-4.

Holmester you're the homie, finally someone is seeing the top of the draft usually has a lot of fluff and the real gems are overlooked(Jarvis Moss) and picked later then they say what a find ..

I've got one name I still think Jarvis Moss is going to be a star, and he's very underrated at this point, I look at production on the field not a few days evaluation at a combine ..and this guy produces...of course this would have to be a trade down...

I like Jarvis Moss too. I am going to be keeping my eye on him. I am a VT fan (Pre shooting). I didn't just jump on the bandwagon thats comming. Just like the one with the Saints.

I haven't watched a single Florida game, so I am unaware of his prowess. However, I have come to the conclusion that just about any DE we can get should be better than our DE's minus carter.
