Horton was truly a good find - but I guess since we actually had draft picks recently -- you'll hit a good one every so often. Orakpo was easy since he fell into our laps (honestly, Oher would have been a good pick as well).

BUT it's back to the old argument -- consistently not drafting or signing FA O-linemen has been a perennial BAD move. I *still* shudder when we drafted a TE with *TWO* wide receivers. Sure, our O-line looks great right now, but what is the probability they will be healthy by November/December? I'd rather have good depth than hope we get lucky every year.

Anyway, I think we've had some good picks, but I'll stop short on "apologizing" to Vinny until (1) those picks actually make the team, (2) those picks actually do more than just become Warpath thread titles.

What exactly has Orakpo proved? Yea he's looked pretty decent thru two preseason games but big deal, its two early to tell with this years rookie class as of yet.
