I think the main need was collapsing the pocket and drawing blockers away from Orakpo. And while 3-4 DE's rarely do that I did feel that Cameron Jordan had that ability to get after the passer while still keeping blockers off our backers.

However the two things that make the Kerrigan pick better. For starters Kerrigan is a strong player himself. He won't be pushed around so not only are you getting a pass rusher but a guy that can play the run as well. The second thing is picking Jenkins gives you that guy between the OLB's that will collapse the pocket.

Still I hope Orakpo sits down with Kerrigan and says something to the effect of "I've been in this league for two years now and I've done pretty well for myself so far. However I've learned the hard way that my bull rush and swim move aren't enough and half the time refs don't call it when I get held. So the sooner you work on getting yourself a variety of pass rush moves the sooner we can start taking down QB's."
