Have to either keep them both or get a player and high pick for Orakpo and draft a pass rush specialist with the pick a la Aldon Smith in his rookie year.

I am was also interested to see how well Orakpo was getting the olb position in a 3-4 this year. He seemed to be much better in the first couple of games, but it was really only 5 quarters of football. We talk about Jackson improving, and I completely agree. The more experience he gets as a player he gets better. The same could be said for what might have been in Orakpo's season.

I keep hearing that it takes an average player about 3-4 years of study, experience, and creating nfl instintics to become a good to great player.

I was expecting to see an exceptional player in Orakpo this year, and just for good measure I see Kerrigan having a better year next year then this.

So what is the point? I would hate to see a guy like Jackson and go somewhere else and tear it up. A la Chris Clemons, Antonio Pierce, and Ryan Clark

We are a team in need of secondary help with no first round pick, but an asset that may be able to be replace with two needs.

Would a good secondary player ( CB or S ) and a 2nd round pick make you listen to an offer for Rak?
