Brian Orakpo = Beast

[over the mountain]

to me the orakpo pick was a no brainer. the only real other decision was oher. but im sure i was just like the rest of you nervously waiting through picks 8-12 hoping orakpo wasnt going to be drafted before us. if orakpo was drafted then i had alil consolation in the fact that oher wouldnt be a bad second option.

given our need for passing rushing, orakpo was the most obvious selection.

my biggest worry was that vinny was going to trade down putting him out of the top part of the draft where talent is alot less evident.

our FO does pretty well drafting in the top half of the first round, give them a bunch of 2nd rounders or late 1st rounders where it takes quality scouting and analysis to make pay off picks and we run into trouble.

also AH's contribution can not be overlooked. everyone said AH's impact doesnt show up on stats but the increase in the stats for guys around him. well, carter has what 8 sacks and orakpo 7? thats pretty evident.
