Please no more Orakpo talk
 
After tonight's game, he is definitely undeserving of the #3 pick.

He got shut down by a quality LT tonight, and completely disappeared. I never really saw him contribute in the running game, which is frightening since our run D was atrocious this season.

All I am saying is that if we draft a DE at #3, he had better be like Mario Williams, able to stop the run and disrupt the passing game on a consistent basis. I do not see that from Orakpo, or most of the top DE's this year.

So, let the QBOTF/OL/LB/DB debate begin!

Sorry if repost.
Sorry if I am lame.

edit: please feel free to move this to the draft forum if you would like, mods.

Ya mean like Glenn Dorsey?

(no, that's not supposed to make sense)

Sure-Oz 01-05-2009 11:30 PM

I'd say he's a black jared allen

There is nothing resembling Mario Williams from these ends.....there's alot of ends but no top tier elite guy.

smittysbar 01-05-2009 11:31 PM

He did suck it up tonight.

You think we'll be able to get a quality guy still in the 2nd then?

I hadn't really been overwhelmed by him before, and tonight didn't help his cause.

He'll be a workout warrior like Gholston was, and someone will fall in love with him because he has great workouts in a tee shirt and shorts.

Orakpo to me at the next level is a strong side end, he puts on 15-20lbs and plays over RT.

So, sounds like he's not a typical top 5 guy? (Minus the workouts of course)

Mecca 01-05-2009 11:40 PM

I wouldn't take him in the top 5....I don't really think any of these ends are worthy of that.

Honestly, who actually looks like a legit Top 5 pick right now?

It's starting to look like Stafford and Sanchez, and a bunch of question marks.

Huge concern about Bradford being a spread QB.

Andre Smith's weight/footowrk may keep him from being a LT.


Monroe?

Oher?

Mays?

I agree.

You know, this year's draft class is looking pretty shitty, compared to years past. I mean, there isn't exactly a "consensus" number one. Half of them say Bradford. The other half, Stafford. The others, none of them are really worthy of a top 5 pick.

All the Chiefs better hope is that the Lions and Rams either pick Bradford or someone else, and not Stafford. If Stafford is gone, what is the best choice for the Chiefs on 3rd?

In my opinion, it would be wise to trade out.

What do you do with Tamba?

Do you move Tamba back to RE or do you demote him and leave Babin where he is?

Or do you see who is available in the later rounds and pick from there?

Free Agent RDE?

Mecca 01-05-2009 11:44 PM

Anytime there are potentially 2 franchise QB's at the top of a draft it's not a bad class....I also think the Rams will take whoever grades out as the best OT.
