Branch and Okoye both have unique qualities about them (Branch=size, Okoye=age). If we pass on them, we won't necessarily have a chance to get a player like them in the future. We can get an end in 2008 most likely, maybe even one who is bigger and better for our system than the guys available now.

Draft stock means everything for the next 2 months, but nothing come May. Keep that in mind.

See I'd totally disagree. Quality run stopping DTs are far more prevalent in the league than quality pass rushing DEs. Sure there are lots of highly ranked pass rushers every year but how many pan out? As far as DTs there are just more of them. Hell even Joey Sal was a monster for us if only for a year. His age and health have betrayed him some and now he is just average or worse.

To me it comes down to whether Adams or Anderson is the real deal. If one is then we have to take him if we can. Branch will be good but we can find another more easily.
