Frank Okam
NFL Draft Scouting Report

Defensive Tackle

Texas


College Position: Defensive Tackle
School: Texas
Grade: Senior
Height: 6-4

Birthdate:
Draft Projection: Fifth
Overall Rank: Unranked
NFL Draft Position (Rank): Defensive Tackle (10)

Draft Result

Drafted in the 2008 Draft by the Houston Texans in the 5th round with the #18 pick.
Say what you want about Okam's lack of a motor, he is a good value pick in round 5. If the Texans can keep his motor revving they could have a 5th round steal. Can be a load in the middle when he wants to.

Strengths

A body type that fits both a 4-3 and a 3-4. Takes up space and forces a double team. Has the size and power to be a dominant force in the middle. Has dominated at times.

Weaknesses

On the flip side does not have the work ethic to be a dominant force. With size and strength alone Okam should be no worse than a second round pick. Inconsistent effort and has not played up to his potential.

A major boom or bust type of prospect
