4th Round – Julian Okwara, Notre Dame
As we hit the middle to later rounds, we start to see more players fall into the “project” category — Okwara of Notre Dame is one such player. He enjoyed some degree of production in college, finishing his time with 14.5 sacks along with 23 tackles for loss. But at present, he is an athletic specimen who needs refinement.
His frame could probably stand the addition of more muscle and getting him into an NFL weight program would certainly benefit him. Failing that, he is a player that could see the field and be successful in passing situations. But he’s far from the finished product.
