So to review, best player on the board and he lives up to the hype = no credit

Not from me. Rogers is a good example. He hasn't been awesome...but he was the right pick. Just didn't work out too much.

I disagreed with the Rogers pick with DeMarcus Ware and Shawne Merriman still on the board. At least with Orakpo, we finally have the impact pass rusher that we passed on back then. And don't underestimate the impact of Haynesworth. He makes Orakpo and Carter almost unblockable since he's taking a double team on many plays. I'm amazed that the secondary hasn't made more plays with a vastly improved pass rush. Landry is all but invisible.

if al davis is sniffing super glue and see's dhb run a sick forty time and drafts him about 20 spots early and throws everyone off, and then the bills take maybin ahead of orakpo, if you don't take orakpo then you better join in with davis and the super glue sniffing cause orakpo was definitely top ten talent

Give Vinny credit when credit due. If you have a player available that is special, you take them. We get messed up doing stupid stuff like drafting "Tall" receivers, how bout drafting the best receiver. Give the man some credit. You make your arguments against him not credible.

What arguments?

orakpo is having a great year, but people seem to be overlooking the fact that andre carter is having an amazing season. 42 tackles, 3 ff, and 8 sacks. great year. why not try he and orakpo together full time on the d-line?

I dont mean to be a buzz-kill, but almost every sack ive seen of carter happens with some situation where the qb runs into him or has to hold on to it for a long time. And he has been playing against shitty talent.
keep in mind that since I decided the season is over, I only watch about half of every game and have only seen about 4 of his sacks.

I don't care how you slice, 8 sacks isn't some fluke. Dude is having a very good year. I would also add he's been a monster against the run pursuing running backs from sideline to sideline.

Carter and Orakpo are beginning to be a very good combo. Can't wait to see them against Romo on Sunday. Should be a treat.

Assuming Carter stays for next season, do you think it would be viable to have Orakpo line up opposite Carter? Have Orakpo play DE? Everyone's saying he'd be beast coming off the edge like that instead of LB. Because.. Well.. We know he stinks at coverage anyway. So why not let him blow up O-Lines all day?
