Chike Okeafor (1 Viewer)

I know there has been some issue with OLB in 3-4 defenses being listed as DL, but Okeafor is listed as DL in a league of mine. Isn't he Sam in the 4-3? What kind of production can you expect out of the guy? I'm assuming he will be a 2 down LB, but will he be moving to DE on passing downs? If not, I'm wondering why he is still listed as DL.

He is listed as the "Sam" in NFL gamebook, being a hybrid type, he will probably lineup at DE from time to time. You may see Arizona lineup in a 5-2 occasionally also. I'm not sure about the 2 down thing, yeah, Dansby and Hayes will proabably be the nickel backers, Okeafor will probably move to DE and may alternate with LaBoy there. Have no idea why he is being listed as a DE, outside of the fact that was his position a prior to '07.I think Okeafor will see alot of snaps, by his projections, he would rank just outside the top 25 s a DL.

Does he have any value if he's properly listed at LB?

Would you rather take Chike or Greg Ellis??
