This WV vs Syracuse is a stinker so far, due mainly to the elements and constant penalties
Alex Okafor with a Sizzle like play.
Do the Ravens have a shot at him?
I'm not a draft guru like some of these guys but I've seen Okafor listed as the 3rd highest rated DE so that should mean bottom of 1st, top of 2nd maybe?
It's up in the air atm, some have said as low as early 3rd, others have said mid first round. Let's wait and see what happens at the combine. To me, he's a late first round/early second round projection right now.
Does he know how to walk down stairs?

Another reason to question National Football Post's player evaluation... read their section on Okafor. They claim he is "not viewed as an elite NFL prospect" who will slide to the third day in the draft. They claim anonymous scouts agree with their assessment.
Yeah, okay. Okafor looked pretty damn good last night. Lots of good pass rush moves, adequate speed to turn the corner, and the kid does all the little things well. Of the pure DEs in this draft I'd rank him 3rd or 4th. The only guys that are definitely ahead of him are Damontre Moore and Bjoern Werner. Dion Jordan and Ezekiel Ansah are both really good, but they don't have quite the polish or versatility Okafor does. The LSU DEs are both overrated.
I don't see 34 olb if we stick to it. He looked poor against the run from the parts I seem last night
La Canfora speculating that Harrison may be cut from the Steelers after this season.
How's that for an upgrade to the pass rush?
I noticed that too, and something I noticed in other games too, we already have one of those in Paul Kruger. If we're going pass rush, I would like to see a 3-4 DE rather than OLB picked because we are pretty deep with Suggs, Kruger, McClellan, Hamilton, then even McAdoo on IR. Ansah is the guy you'd want in the JJ Watt type role, sadly I think his upside get him drafted well before 20, but if there's a chance, Ravens should take it. He's not just a pass rusher, he can stop the run really well too, he'd instantly upgrade our Dline, even if he is still pretty raw.
