I was the Coalition (where I posted before I got brought here by a couple posters that post on both boards) biggest Orakpo guy...he wasn't a popular guy there either. I was basically a stand alone fan of his for our top pick. That board wanted either Curry or ****ing Everette Brown iirc. Now everyone there uses revisionist history and says they all were on the bandwagon. Oh well.
Tyson will turn into a good player IMO (as Ive said all along) he just will never live up to #3. Orakpo easily could.

I wasn't for drafting Orakpo, basically because Texas players have had difficulty in the past decade (basically under Mack Brown) translating from college to the NFL.
I don't think Texas players on the whole are well coached for the pro game. They use a spread offense and their defenses face spread offenses. It's difficult to project how they'll perform in the NFL. They generally are fantastic athletes but have a hard time with the game itself.
There was a guy posting in 2009 that wanted Everette Brown at #3 OVERALL. I went round and round with that guy.
Good times.
