What interesting is the consensus best LB in the draft Aaron Curry was 'downgraded' because of his lack of pass rush moves. Orakpo has the size 6'3" 250lbs +/-, speed and agility of a strongside LB (sub 4.7 speed 39.5in vertical) of a OLB. Have we talked about his strength? His ability to read and react will determine his sucess. I recall games where McIntosh was covering TEs and it wasn't always pretty. With Orakpo we get the best of both worlds. On passing downs, he'll have his hand in the dirt. Just like we wanted to use Washington and Arrington.
