All were available and all could have filled needs, so I don't think it's as simple as "Here's Orakpo, that's a no-brainer."

I hear you...I didn't mean to imply that I give them no credit for picking Orakpo. I said I can't give the whole draft an A or B based on that pick alone. And like I said I don't know a lot about the guys they took later in the draft but nothing really jumped out at me. I would have liked to see them get a change of pace RB to compliment Portis and they didn't address the OL. I just wasn't overwhelmed so I gave them a C...it's not like I gave them an F though.
