I respect Rich Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News. He lays out prototypical measurements by position in the article link below.

http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcont...n.3d58630.html

He believes the prototype for DE is:
Height=6'4"
Weight=270
Speed=4.6
Key trait is speed on the weak side and strength on the strong side.

Orakpo's measurements are:
6'4"
260
4.63 (unofficial)
Combine will tell, but it seems Orakpo has ample speed and strength.

I've seen probably 4-5 Longhorn games this year and my only knock on him is he got caught inside on a few running plays (2 of which were in the TX Tech loss).

I do like the fact that he comes from a long line of Longhorn D linemen lineage. In fact, Big 12 in general has put out some great D linemen.
