Okuayinonu has turned himself into a dependable part of the rotation. He started 12 games last year, made 39 tackles and finished with three sacks for the second straight season. He is not a star pass rusher, but he plays hard, can move around the front and does not disappear when the snap count rises. I have him at a six. The production is steady and useful, though his shorter frame and average closing burst keep him from winning one-on-one often enough to be a real difference-maker.
Strengths: Okuayinonu brings effort, alignment versatility and repeatable mid-level production. He has recorded three sacks in consecutive seasons and held up through 12 starts plus both playoff games in 2025.
Weaknesses: He lacks ideal length and has never topped three sacks in a season. His pressure tends to come through persistence rather than dominant one-on-one wins, which makes him better as a rotational piece than a featured edge defender.
