Charles Omenihu

Recommended Posts

Omenihu's come a very, very long way... from relentlessly recruiting for us as a HS student immediately after committing, to his anger and frustration pouring out after the loss to Kansas and Charlie's dismissal, to winning Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year honours, and now to killing it in the Sugar Bowl in his final collegiate game.

He's a microcosm of all the ups and downs Texas has been through since Mack left.

This is just one random mock draft in a see of nonsensical mock drafts, but it does have Omenihu going at #41. Will be interesting to see where people project Omenihu. I get the feeling he'll be all over the place.

If Charles tests well at that combine and pro day, I could see him going late 1st round/early 2nd round and I’ve seen that on a few mocks by analytics guys. Kiper/McShay will ignore him as he’s not SEC or buckeye, but he has a great frame and athleticism and killed it last year. He improved his draft stock 4 or 5 rounds by returning to school.

Elite pass rushers are highly valued in the NFL  This season, he also showed he could hold the point of attack and disrupt the running game even against elite FBS talent.  That makes him an every down DE who is also great pass rusher, not just a pass rushing specialist.

he reminds me of a bigger, more athletic Alex Oakafor. 

I think he'll contribute and have a solid pro career, much like Okafor. That's a reasonable floor if there are no injuries with a high ceiling if he keeps developing. Such a difference in his game from last year to this year, what's to stop him from continuing to progress?

Okafor was a better pass rusher in college, not to mention an all American and two time all big 12 player. He was drafted in the 4th round. 

Omenihu is not as athletic or good. 

I think you’re drastically underrating his athleticism relative to Okafor. I expect his testing at the combine will show that. He’ll go no later than the 3rd, possibly in the top 50.

I think you drastically overrate his athleticism and the combine will show that.

He's clueless.  Okafor was an outside pass rusher as a DE in a 4-3 defense - usually a 5 tech, giving him outside leverage on the OT.  Omenihu plays 4i, forcing him to work harder to get outside to speed rush.

Why was that?  Serious question.

And I could be wrong about their respective athleticism. I’m not basing it on what their defensive schemes called for, but based on my perception of their abilities to get to the QB. 

I am well aware of the differences of their respective front 7 (6). 

I was trying to convey that @futureman is clueless so his response to you made no sense.  Apparently I didn't do a good job of it.  I think Omenihu is slightly more athletic than Okafor overall and any difference in production is due to the different roles they played here at Texas.

I’m not gonna argue with stupid.  bookmark this post and eat your crow after the combine.  omenihu became a solid starter after 4 years in the program.  he’s not close to what okafor was.  good day, sir.

You can't refute anything so you make it personal.  You also seem to delight in denigrating current Longhorn players and coaches.

That's fine, you're off my Christmas card list.  So there!

You're clueless because you threw out a completely unsupported opinion insulting a current Longhorn.  Then you resorted to simplistic and repeated negation instead of engaging in a logical debate.  So yes, you proved yourself clueless and then attacked people for disagreeing with your totally fact-free assertion.

Please feel free to ignore my threads.  The discussion will be much better without you and your emotional, off the cuff judgements that aren't supported by any facts.

dak prescott had a higher completion percentage than jared goff in 2018.  clear facts, dak is the more accurate passer.

This is typical of the shallow and clueless arguments you've made before.  Instead of directly refuting anything I posted you drift off onto a completely different subject.  So I will refute what you just posted as an example.  Prescott was very average.  He was the #15 rated passer in the NFL, whereas Goff was #4.  And that covers a much broader sample of QB performance than mere completion percentage.

That's how it's supposed to be done.

You're wasting your time. futureman lives for these exchanges. Just put him on ignore and get on with your day.

Okafor is probably more athletic. He was a 5 star player coming out of high school.

You probably thought Michael Sam was going to be a productive NFL player, too.
