Orakpo - 4 sacks on the day, 12 on the year
Told you he was no Gholston.
http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...1&postcount=11 Yall think Pioli would like to go back and do that pick #3 pick over? In comparison, Tyson Jackson is currently grading out as the worst 5 technique in the national football league: http://profootballfocus.com/by_posit...=25&numgames=1 |
So you started a thread to show that you were right about a draft pick?
Congrats on that. :spock: |
Having a dominant DT sure doesn't hurt.
Sorry, but just because he was the right pick for Washington doesn't mean he would have been the right pick here. But yeah, I'd like to have that pick back. |
Its killing me. i really wanted this guy to be drafted by us

Oh....and for what it's worth......if we didn't trade for Cassel....we could have ended up with this.
1st - Mark Sanchez, QB 2nd - Ron Brace, NT 3rd - Alex Magee, DE |

He's missed what, 3 games? Sure, he's had no impact on Orakpo's play this year, nor have the other talented players he's surrounded by. Kid plays for the 7th best defense statistically in the NFL. If you want to think he'd be playing lights out surrounded by our abortion of a defense, in a different scheme, go right ahead. |

Far worse to have been me. I originally loved Orakpo as a prospect, started a 500+ post thread about him, and then let the UT stigma and other people talk me out of him.
Stupid, stupid me. |
"Washington is a good fit for Orakpo. He's much better with his hand in the dirt, IMO."
"FWIW, Orakpo has shown a combination of production and athleticism that will make him a top three pick in this draft." "Orakpo is a playmaker. Taylor Mays is a playmaker. Maualuga is a playmaker. Options 2 and 3 don't have top 5 value, but I believe Orakpo does. Beanie Wells will be a Larry Johnson type back (I wouldn't take him, though). And there are 3-4 franchise LTs in this draft." If we keep playing like this, we won't be in a position to draft Stafford. It's not good or bad, it is what it is." "With that being said, a genetic freak like Rak daddy would go a long way towards fixing the ills of this defense. He's not as long as Michael Johnson, but he's fast, explosive, and incredibly strong. Plus, he's taken boxing lessons, so Krumrie will love him with his ****tard slap-fight drill. There could be worse selections in the 3-7 range where we will most likely choose. "And scenario 2: If Stafford isn't there, you pick Orakpo. Mecca will probably want Johnson, and we'll fight to the death over it. Now, if we somehow finish 3-13 and end up drafting 6th, I'll probably kill myself." |
Blind squirrels and nuts.

Clay Matthews would also have been a great fit in KC. KC could have traded down to mid first taken Clay and another 2 draft picks to piss away.

We're eternally doomed to have drafted defensive players play like shit-for-brain twats.

Sanchez is sucking on a better offense, but he probably still has more upside. Cassel hasn't had a good year, but with a decent offense he played fairly well last season. I don't think there is a clear favorite at this point in their careers between the two. |

But I agree. An offensive coordinator, a QB coach, and an offensive line might go a long way to helping with that. |

And FWIW, Cassel now has 17 INT's and has fumbled 13 times. |
You can list off basically 75% of the first round and say we'd be better off had we taken them...

Raji is having a really nice year actually...

Quote:
Sanchez is averaging more than 1 interception per game played, and fumbles in virtually every game. Sanchez: 17INT + 3 fumb lost = 20 Turnovers Cassel: 13 INT + 3 Fumb lost = 16 Turnovers |
Orakpo Tyler Dorsey Hali
That is a hell of a front four if you ask me. |
That's nice at least Sanchez is a young player with upside our guy should be entering his prime.
If Sanchez is still the same player in 5 years then it's the same... |
We should have taken Heyward-Bey.

Cassel is averaging more than 1 INT per game played (13 INT in 12 games) and fumbles in virtually every game. (13 fumbles in 12 games) Both of them are playing like rookies. The problem is, one of them is a 27 year old, 5th year veteran. |

Funny how those folks have changed their tune after 12 games. |

I'm just so ridiculously tired of seeing people that so badly want a player to be good they'll skew what reality is. |

I feel sorry for you. If you can't see the difference between a rookie with upside making rookie mistakes, and a 27 year old, 5th year veteran making the same mistakes, I can't do much for you. |

Amazing that people go out of their way to defend a player who's stats are almost identical to those of ROOKIE QB'S. |
LOL it's funny considering Matt Stafford is 6 years younger than Cassel is, but hey it's fine for Cassel to be in the same spot right?

He thinks he's a psychologist, maybe he just has a low tolerance for morons? I know I do.

Translation: I don't know my ass from a hole in the ground, so I'm going to try and play armchair psychologist to deflect from the fact that I just said a bunch of stupid shit.

Heres a highlight video of Orakpo yesterday, pretty good clips if you like to see the Raiders made to look like fools. Orakpo is a beast. |

One pick after Moreno... I was kinda hoping that Denver would have taken Orakpo at 12 and then RB or other DL at 18. I can't complain about Moreno, but man...
|
Quote:
Hopeful that when Pickett becomes a FA this offseason, we can get him. |

Quote:
Marshall Faulk, the 2nd player overall, also had a 4.1 avg his rookie year. Not saying Moreno is as good as Faulk, but they both averaged 4.1 their rookie year. |
Quote:
Moreno hasn't broken 100 yards all year. I'd be disappointed if I was a Broncos fan. |
Knowshon Moreno is Priest Holmes, there's nothing wrong with that.
|
Quote:
There's probably a pretty decent reason why he's never started, except in high school. |

Moreno doesn't impress me. In fact, Buckhalter has two 100-yard games this year to Moreno's 0. With Kyle Orton back there they need a more explosive RB to compete with teams like Indy. |
