I was down on Orakpo because of the long history of highly drafted Mack Brown Texas players that have absolutely fizzled.

That too. BUT, the constant Gholston comparisons (is he just a workout warrior) most certainly hurt him. Obviously he's not gholston but when you get compared to a guy that has busted like Gholston has, it's not going to benefit you.

The thing I'm really curious to see is whether it's Jackson or Magee who ultimately ends up the nosetackle. Because I've suspected that's the direction they were going to eventually go the second they picked Magee.

(My guess is Magee)

And I think the truth is if you had given most people here choices of Tyson Jackson or, most of those reach arguments would have gone out the window I think even people that didn't particulary like Orakpo would have gone with him and that goes for several others.

The Raji bandwagon would have been stronger.

Ignoring how he's played, the truth is I wouldn't have touched Orakpo with a 10-foot pole. I thought going into the draft he had bust written all over him. I don't think I thought much of Maybin either.

Mecca · 01-02-2010, 08:38 PM

I personally probably would have taken Raji had I been in the Chiefs position.

TheGuardian · 01-02-2010, 08:41 PM

Crabs would have been ok at #3 in hindsight too.

keg in kc · 01-02-2010, 08:42 PM

I didn't like Raji either going into it, as I recall. Was concerned he'd turn into Chester McGlockton.

I really, really, really didn't like this draft class.

At all.

Mecca · 01-02-2010, 08:43 PM

I absolutely hated Maybin even more than Orakpo, Maybin produced for 1 year, is 20 years old and is extremely light.

My argument of why I didn't like Crabtree 3 was there wasn't enough separating him from the other WR's, Hakeem Nicks went in the late 20's and as players there is very little separating them to justify that difference in picks and contracts.

Mecca hates big 12 players, it goes way back.

**BossChief** · 01-02-2010, 08:58 PM

OMG think if we had drafted Orakpo and Mauluaga last year and Suh this year!

That would SURELY have helped to key a championship caliber defense.

Someone say something about "corner stones"?

Big12 defensive players generally suck. Mainly because the big12 is a pussy conference with too many spread offenses and not enough big dick I formation "let's find out who the men are" football.
