Just watched this at the office. My nurses came in to see what I was in to.
They were not impressed; it's possible that their opinion of me is even lower now.

Curse you, Darth! Your power is strong!

I’m intrigued, do you get the occasional bed bath from "My nurses"?

Is there a happy ending?
;)

Honestly, after reading his player bio, he sounds exactly like the kind of developmental guy Dallas would take with a comp pick, two rounds too high.

Okwara hasn't been injury prone enough to be picked like that.

7 3/8" hands?

What, is he an infant?

LOL. I know, they are tiny. In comparison, the smallest hands for any WR at the Combine were a full inch bigger.

It kind of explains why he seems to catch everything with his body and cradles everything with his forearms. I would pretty much take him off my board. That's a hindrance.

I seriously wonder if that was a misprint. Hands that small on a 6'2" adult doesn't seem right, unless he was hanging out with Jason Pierre-Paul on July 4.

Reading the breakdown of Okwara is really uninspiring.

"Here's what NFL.com's Lance Zierlein has to say about the prospect:
'Big edge player who looks great on the hoof, but who is extremely stiff and mechanical in his movements. Okwara is missing the quickness to be an NFL pass rusher while being a block magnet in the running game. Unless he finds a way to unleash his natural power and have it translate to production on the field, making a roster will be exceptionally difficult.'.."

"Block magnet in the running game"...lol...wow Zierlein.

Okwara looks like a poor mans version of OO who barely played for the Giants.

Vernon Adams just killed it yesterday. Good lord he is so short, but he was making great throws and running around like a little Flutie.

He's the ideal back-up to me. Not good enough to truly challenge your #1 but good enough to come in and cause problems. The added element of his mobility makes his unexpected presence in the game even tougher for the defense to defend (no game planning for him).

I like that he's not a first day, likely not even 2nd day, pick. Good value.

Do not know much about this player other than measurements, but I would prefer avoiding small school prospects.

Doesn't Mcclay supposedly put an emphasis on power 5 players? I thought I read that somewhere.
