I am ready for an edge rusher regardless of size. This is one of the reasons i love letting Hayes go and bringing in a different DL coach.
Oakman is actualy really reminscient of MJ in my opinion. Both had a ton of potential coming out of college, but they both struggled with lower body strength. MJ isn't a bad player by any means, he's probably the most underrated on our team. For some reason, he always plays well against Joe Thomas too and he does get pressure a lot.
My biggest think with Oakman is coaching him up. We've lost defensive coaches so this year is going to be a big mystery when it comes to defense. This is no longer Zimmer's defense. This is 100% Guenther's. He has a new staff and has some defensive holes to fill.
I would definitely consider Oakman in the 3rd round. But that's as high as I would go with him.
