Same here... I am defintley very happy how it all worked out overall though. Thank god Sanchez was not ours.... but I still think we need to do some more to address that tackle spot... but very happy to end up with a pass rushing DE... finally.

I wish we had gotten an OT but the chips did not fall that way. I think the FO did a good job of maximizing value for the pick.

Agreed. 500 is extremely stout for a 263 lb man. Another quarter and dude's repping twice his body weight. That's not easy to do, I don't care how much you weigh...

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
I like the pick. With him and AH if we can't get to the QB this year we never will.

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
I like that McShay projects his best position in the NFL as a 4-3 DE.

I wonder if Rob Jackson will give him his college number 98? I wonder if Rob Jackson will make the team now for that matter...

I remember Jason Taylor speaking highly of Rob Jackson. So, let's see what the preseason has in store.

Taylor had positive things to say while in DC?

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
A+ pick...he was the one guy I really wanted but thought it was unrealistic to have him there at 13. I was getting more and more excited every time a team took another player. Make no mistake, this kid is a beast, and we got a steal. Yes, he was at 13, so how much of a steal can he be? Well, he will put up numbers worthy of a #1. Smart pick...thank you FO for not kicking the team in the nutts with a dumb trade for Sanchez! We are MUCH better off! This gives us an amazing line. I am super excited for our pass rush this year! I don't recall the last time it looked this good!
