If he is at all good we are going to have a historic defense next season!
I'm not complaining, but if he's only mediocre, we wasted a pretty high draft choice. You can get those in the 3rd round or later. Doe's being a little disappointed that we didn't get a guy that I thought would help our o-line become a lot stronger and therefore win more games make me less of a fan? Get real dude. If Orakpo is as good as advertised, he's a great choice and our defense should be formidable to say the least. But to say that even if he's mediocre he will excel playing next to Haynesworth....looking at it that way, why even draft a DE? We already have some mediocre DE's. I'm happy now, but at the initial call I was a little disappointed that we didn't pick the guy I was hoping for.
