Still Don't get why Move Orakpo to LB

Why draft a Player with HUGE pass rushing skills and use him as a cover LB... why not draft a LB then.

Well, we have 2 solid DEs, and lost the best SLB we had to age. Orakpo has the talent to do both this year, and fills a need that lets us put him in in a lot of situations. We also use a "3-3-5" at times, and he can fill in nicely there.

But really, was there a LB whose overall talent exceeded Orakpo's at 13? I don't think so.
