As I've said earlier, this is the move I wanted more than any other. I think it will be great. He is reasonably talented, will fill our much needed NT, we take him from the giants, and most importantly he is young.
Also I don't think his contract is unreasonable. I think of it as the same as Andre Carter's 6 year 30 mil contract he got 5 years ago. Salary cap goes up, so does the salaries. Hopefully he can contribute like Carter, and not some other players signed that year.

edit: and for the record, I want Chris Chester next on the list. I think young guys that have shown they can hold their own should be our priority. Cullen Jenkins is my one execption to this rule. But that's only because I believe he will help us transition properly to the 3-4, be able to tell haslett the way things were done in GB, provide leadership in the lockeroom which will hopefully help change the culture of the redsinks for years to come. The culture of a team I feel is important, and I feel ours needs to be changed. I'd honestly hope that we'd trade Chris Cooley (and start Davis) if not for his locker room influence. We need veterans like Chris to help change our culture, we need everyone to be on board with the coaches. For the record, Orakpo IMO has displayed this more than anyone and I will enjoy watching him develop into a leader on our team.
