They had 6 picks and took two LBs and there is talk that Orakpo is going to try LB out. Should they have taken more?

I think Orakpo is going to have his hands full just playing DE and learning to stop the run against the NFC east RB's! Maybe down the road LB but that asking a little to much from a first year player to cover RB's and TE's in the NFL right out of the gate!

Swinging Rak to LB would just increase his bust risk IMHO...it's not smart to throw a ton at a rookie. Keep his hand in the dirt all year...like GT said probably at RDE but if Rak can bulk up a bit and become for stout against the run I want to see him at LDE.
