Does Okung fit the zone blocking scheme? That's my big question about him.

Well some draft reports about Okung mention that he has a "extremely high level of athleticism", has "great lateral agility and a quick kick step", and that he "consistent footwork".

It is my understanding that zone blocking linemen need to be fleet-footed and athletic...to me it seems that Okung would be fine in this system. I haven't heard anything to the contrary, hopefully as we get closer to the combine, someone brings this up.

MS seems to have a pretty good feel for QBs, if he takes one at #4 I'm not going to cry about it.

i agree with that.even if they take a qb keep Campbell and let the rookie ride the pine and learn the offense like the back of his hand.that way when steps onto the field he's not thinkin about the play at all but just learning the speed of the game.and with the speed it's real nice to know what the play is without thinking about them.do the skins work a trade for Marshall?what about Moss for Marshall?no that i want to get rid of moss.i would love to get the oiline fixed then have marshall as number 1 and then Moss can move to slot wr.what do you all think about trading for Marshall?i think the rookie coach of the Broncos is over doing the tough man routine and will lose the lockeroom soon.having said that Marshall is done in Denver and we could use a legitimate number 1 wr.i gues the price will dictate the involvement.
