Seahawks Draft Blog: Russell Okung, OT, Oklahoma State

I'm not sure I get this write-up?

The reviewer says that Okung has long arms but is not very strong, but we know that he put up 38 reps at the combine and scouts were saying that was an absoluetly huge number for a guy with very long arms so I begin to ask myself if this guy really knows what he is talking about?

When I read further and he says he is not impressed with Okung as a pass blocker and then I look at twenty other reviews that place him as the best pass blocking lineman in the draft without question I have to say I'm not so sure this review helps us?

Seems odd to me too. Okung is easily the best OT in the draft IMO.

lower body strength.. talking about him getting pushed back a lot apparently

he watched the tape and analyzed it, I didn't, I don't know.. I think that I only watched one of his games last year, maybe two
