32-day mock: What should St. Louis do at No. 13?
SportingNews.com - Mar 31, 2007
So like the 49ers two picks before them, the Rams need a big interior presence to help them against the run in a backfield-loaded division. So we already had the 49ers taking one of top two defensive tackles, Alan Branch. So which tackle is best suited for St. Louis?

Final decision. Louisville DT Amobi Okoye. There's a debate as to who's better, Branch or Okoye, and of course, none of us will really know for sure until three or four years from now. My take on Branch: an experienced big body and gap clogger and what you see is what you get, which is something pretty good. My take on Okoye: a somewhat raw prospect (he's only 19) who has the quick-penetration potential to develop into a fine interior pass rusher and a terrific all-around tackle.

So Branch may be more ready to play and contribute now, while Okoye's worth may be greater in the long term. I don't think it's fair to bunch Okoye in with the past Rams' defensive tackle failures. They must fill that need again and break a curse, and I think Okoye is finally the young man to do it.
