I doubt we get stafford with the possibility that Detroit AND St. Louis could be drafting in front of us and they have big needs at QB too. Thanks to Thiggy we are not nearly as desperate for a QB now as we were a few weeks ago IMO.

I'm more than happy with getting a guy like Orakpo.
I still would much rather trade down and get Maualuga or Laurinitis PLUS extra draft picks. If we trade low enough, we could maybe get a high 2nd round pick and maybe another extra pick on the side. With that extra second round pick, we can start gunning for some terrific linemen, like Duke Robinson or Alex Mack. |

We have 3 enormous needs:
Pass rushing LDE. Stud MLB Completely new right side of the line Since we can't draft a RT or RG that high, it's down to MLB or LDE. Hopefully this Orakpo is all that. I know little to nothing about him.

What was Orakpo's injury status...I know he had been a little banged up recently but I haven't kept up with the latest.

He is a game changer, a difference maker and someone you have to account for (at least at the college level). He is big, strong and fast. Considered by some to be THE best athlete in college football.

That is yet to be seen I guess. Right now he is MY personal choice for round 1.

Laurinitis is a hell of a player and I have a feeling Herm will fall in love with the guy. He is a high motor player, has terrific speed, is very good in coverage, and is extremely football smart. Like any other MLB, he sometimes struggles when his DTs get manhandled or beat. I don't know if Maualuga is a better prospect, but you couldn't go wrong with either of those guys.

Gholston and Davis both have questionable work ethics and attitudes toward the game, and both had major flaws in their scouting report that scouts hoped would be overcome. I don't know much about Orakpo, but I agree that the evluation should involve a lot more than just physical talent. |

I'd say he's more of a Freeny type, but stronger, so he wouldn't rely solely on his speed, and should probably be a better run defender.
