If he passes the 'smell test' do you believe a draft choice (3 or 4) could be used on this guy?
On film he looks ok, watch the video where he lost it, he talked smack all week and then had a bad game. If our front office gets into his head and is willing to take a shot on him, who am I to argue.

That said I do not touch him before the 4th.

I am not sure who this, but here is a different take on the incident.

Didn't excuse Blount, but did point out that Hout actually started it.

Okam has been a real disappointment to me. At one time in college, I thought he would be a great one, then he just didn't seem to want to anymore after his sophomore season. So if we take a flyer on Cody I would hope they really get into his head to see if he really wants it or not before they draft him.

Just my opinion watching Okam occasionally, looked like he has an allergy or conditioning problem. He would go really strong for a play, contribute, and then look like he had to rest and regain his breath for a minute. Looked like he wanted to go. I thought desire and heart looked ready but body wasn't. But he did look fit, not oveweight for a big man. Coaches should know by now if this is fixable or they need to put some effort to get a FA NT in here.
