With the way teams are in love with highly touted defensive tackles -- even those whose stock is supposedly falling -- I still think Branch won't last past #15. Okoye seems likely to go first, hopefully to the Redskins at #6.

From what I've heard as the draft experts keep yapping from here until April 28th, Branch probably won't offer much by himself, lined up with another bum along the defensive line. But if you've already got one firecracker in the middle, Branch might just be the type of guy who can set other players loose. Sometimes, a player's best attribute is that he makes the other ten guys better than they were before.
