Hey I love the enthusiasm but slow down with all this best D-Line front crap. We have not played a down of football yet so lets just see how they start out against the G-Men. We as fans still need to remember games are won and loss on the field not paper.

That's why I said "once the chemistry was there". On paper we are certainly as talented as just about any team up front, but that doesn't always translate to on field success. Cerainly hoping we will work out any kinks VERY quickly.

Now we just need a cool, catchy nickname for him...

Rak-Attack?
O-Sack-Po?

or maybe simply, "Rak?"

haha...

Haynesworth is going to help his progress a bunch- both on the practice field and on gameday.

He's going to see a lot of one on one situations that's for sure.

Also gets to learn behind some real pros in Daniels and Wynn, assuming they make it to the final 53.

I know the defensive line is happy. You really can't double team anyone, its almost like pick your poison.

We have a good secondary too...I LOVE the look of our D this year...we should be a top 5. If we can get the offense looking good, we will have a tough team to beat.

Very true. Injuries are ALWAYS a factor with us too...hopefully they won't be significant injuries this year.

I'm really happy with this pick. I never thought he'd fall to us and he should benefit from the surrounding cast. I wouldn't have been upset if we snagged Oher either. Hopefully, we can draft someone decent in the 3rd rd.

[John Denny]

Orakpo is a really good pick. I'm surprised he slid to us and I think he'll really benefit from playing alongside Griffin, AH, and Carter. Our secondary is strong and can cover guys long enough for these guys to get to the QB.
I wouldn't have hurt my feelings if we drafted Oher but hopefully there will be someone left when we draft again in the 3rd rd.
Kudos to Vinny and DS for not doing anything stupid.

[Soup's Uncle]

Good pick. Get an OL in the 3rd and this will be a great weekend.

Great pic, FO did a great job putting a solid D-Line together this offseason. What are we gonna do with the 3rd round pick? Do we have a starting OLB? I say use the pick to address that need or an O-Line man.

I guess at this point best player available between the two.?
