Edit: Injury concerns and an apparent lack of a motor:

Durability -4 - Sprained right knee during 2007 opener (Arkansas State) was an early setback. He missed the next four games as a result but did finish the season strong, including two sacks vs. ASU in Holiday Bowl. 2008: Misses Baylor game and plays sparingly versus Kansas due to left knee sprain. Also suffered hamstring strain at the Combine but recovered fully in time for late-March Pro Day workout.

Intangibles - 3 - No off-the-field issues. Works hard off-the-field, particularly in the weight room. Is a confident player but would like to see his motor run more consistently.

Trait Scale
1 = Exceptional 2 = Above average 3 = Average 4 = Below average 5 = Marginal

Inconsistent motor is a scouting designation used to degrade a prospect that doesn't necessarily have anything obviously wrong.

Durability issues tend to be a lot more concrete. With that said, I wasn't under the impression that Orkapo was a huge injury risk. A lot of pundits thought he would be a fish out of water in the 3-4, ironically.

Yeah, but then we saw him hold his own as a 4-3 OLB which is much harder for someone with Orakpo's skill set.

Hence, the irony.

Back to OT's real quick. Even though he's my second favorite prospect one of the knocks on Bryan Bulaga has been his 33 1/4 inch long arms (36 inches is ideal). Here's some game footage of Bulaga to give you an idea of what he's going to have to deal with at the next level.


By the way I totally stole this off a Chiefs forum while I was looking for the Chief fans views on OKUNGGGGGG!!!!!!!11 So with that said all credit goes to SNR from Chiefs Planet.
The short answer is, Bryan Bulaga can do the job - ChiefsPlanet
