Orakpo was not a bust.

Even most great players aren't Darrel Green or Art Monk or Russ Grimm with careers spanning over a decade. According to NFL ownership, the average NFL career is 6 years, according to the NFLPA 3.3 years. And we can go over his stats if you want, but I guarantee you Orakpo was a lot better than average.
