He's tall enough, and with his wingspan he could do it.

Well we'll have to agree to disagree.....

I would not take Michael Oher or Orakpo.

Brendan Albert has really grown into the LT position. Why **** with that?

I know TW has a complete mancrush on everything Oher related so cut him some slack.

As for Dorsey as a DE, that's hilarious.

You do know Orakpo is a DE, right?

I'm sure you do I haven't read the thread yet.

It was a damn typo. I meant to say that I would not take Oher over Orakpo.

I'll be fine if the team wins enough to be out of the Stafford sweepstakes and ends up with a player like Orakbo instead. Good thread.

BPA doesn't apply in the top 5. You can get the top-rated player at every single position. Why would you settle for a player you don't need?

I like Orakpo. My only concern is that he seems like a one-dimensional DE. I have a feeling he'll get swallowed up in run D on the pro level. He may become a very good player, but he has flaws in his game.

I still believe that the absolute best fits for the Chiefs are Maualuga and Laurinitis. These are both can't-miss prospects. Rather than use a top 5 pick on a top prospect, why not trade down and draft either of these 2 guys at the right value and get 1 or 2 great picks on the side? I've said this many times, but I've heard little response. I never understood why teams are so stubborn to trade out of their slot--if the Chiefs don't find a taker, then drop the compensation request a notch (you don't have to adhere strictly to the draft compensation chart). Hell, you could trade down and probably STILL get Orakpo. If not Orakpo, Michael Johnson.

I woudn't mind trading down, but If we trade down, and pick Laurenitis, I'm gonna shit a brick, and if maualuga is on the board when we do it, I will assassinate the culprit.

Round 1: Stafford if available. If not, DE or trade down.
Round 2: (if he slips) Brandon Spikes

I wonder, if this were to take place, if Go Bowe (formerly go Bo) would chang ehis name to "GoPo."

James Laurinitis - oh hell no.

Agree. Laurenitis' biggest knock is that he doesn't shed blocks well. That's a pretty critical skill for a MLB.

Orakpo and Johnson both are intriguing guys for where the Chiefs are going to be picking. Can't say I'd be upset with either.

Orakpo is a physical specimen and highly productive, unlike most workout warriors. I do worry just a little bit that he might have become that physical specimen using the Shawne Merriman method, but he's special enough to overlook it, I think.

I caught a small bit of the Ohio State game the other day, so this is by far NOT a representative sample of Laurinitus' play, but I saw him get run by by a tight end on one play, and on another, get completely mauled by a guard on a zone run. I don't know much about the guy, other than he has produced at OSU, but those seem pretty indicative of what I've heard about him.

I highly doubt Laurinaitis goes in the top 15 anyway..
