Re: Let's talk some Orakpo

I'm looking back now at the 2009 draft and I think Orakpo is one of those guys where you going to look back and wonder why he lasted until pick 13. Most of the guys picked ahead of him are probably going to be just steady players if that. The only exception of course being Aaron Curry.

1. Stafford - Really could go either way. However if he is a Jay Cutler clone then he'll be fine.

2. Jason Smith - Probably one of those guys you won't hear about a lot but he'll always being doing a pretty good job.

3. Tyson Jackson - I thought like many that he was picked way to soon. Pioli thinks he could be Richard Seymour but I can't help but wonder if he'll be Marcus Spears. I wonder who you guys trust more.

4. Aaron Curry - Excellent pick, enough said.

5. Sanchez - Not sure how it'll go but I think he'll have a good career.

6. Andre Smith - Not even in camp thanks to Mike Brown insisting on taking a stand now against the slotting system instead of the CBA meetings next winter.

7. Heyward-Bey - Most likely going to be a bust with shady QB play and questionable route running.

8. Eugene Monroe - Probably one of those guys you'll be happy to have and will probably make it to a pro bowl or two.

9. BJ Raji - He'll be good. If anything he played well in the Packers last preseason game.

10. Crabtree - Agent is an idiot and as a result Crabtree will loose millions of dollars by entering the draft next year. Not smart at all considering the guy is coming off an injury. Maybe if he had never missed a game it would be a different story. If I was him I would get a new agent and hope for a slotted salary.

11. Aaron Maybin - To undersized and came out of nowhere to fast. My guess is he ends up being a bust but nothing more then a solid player at best.

12. Knowshon Moreno - My guess is he has a few good years then break downs by around his 5th or 6th year.

In all I think the only player here that will be better then Orakpo is Curry.

According to a report today, it is Crabtree, not his agent, who is making irrational demands.

I stand corrected. Lucky for me that story isn't even a day old so at least I don't look like a total idiot. Speaking of which I found a pretty funny quote from the comment section

"What is it with wide receivers. Do they take a special class in "college" called STUPID AND ARROGANT."
