However, it's really hard for us to grade 2nd day draft picks...I have Mel's book and I read a lot of draft stuff but still I don't know some of the guys they picked at all so it's a little silly to tell them they were wrong for picking them. Well see I guess...

I don't know why it's hard to give them a high grade for selecting Orakpo. Plenty of teams make poor selections in the first round, yet we (fans) tend to take for granted the selections we make in the first round as no-brainers. We could have selected any of the USC linebackers, or Oher, English, Ayers, Mack. 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."
