By that rationale you could say MArio Williams was dumb luck...or any pick in the draft for that matter, and you would be at least partly right.

But except for Okoye (who's starting to look like a 4-letter word that begins with "B"),

I still thinks it's way too early to call Okoye a bust. He might never be an all pro, but if you can just get a solid starter out of the first round you are ahead of the curve in most cases. I would say Okoye has been less the solid, but considering his age when drafted and the position he plays making any kind of judgment on his career before he finishes his second season is pre-mature.
