Anthony Davis has more upside then Okung while still having a high floor (though not as high as Okung's). McShay is convinced that when workouts and interviews roll around we'll see Davis shoot past Okung on most draft boards. Also while it only means so much at this point, Davis was seen as the best OL prospect coming out of high school, a distinction that Oher held last year and ironically Oher was far and wide the best rookie lineman. Okung was a 3 star prospect in case you were wondering (like I said only means so much at this point). Both are very good but at this point I'm inclined to think that Davis might be a better fit especially since he played in a zone blocking scheme at Rutgers.

You have to factor in the height to weight ratio. Right now Okung is listed at 299 on Scouts Inc but even if he was 305 it would be akin to him being around 6'2 288. Keep in mind Shannahan doesn't always go with light lineman. Then again the heavy first round pick of Shanahan's (George Foster 338 lbs) was one of Shanahan's worst picks. Still everything I've read on him indicates that Okung would be a great fit here.
