I like Jay a lot more than you do, but I don't think he was enough of a step up for the Redskins to justify that trade (although I definitely think it was a good move for the Bears, going from Orton/Grossman to Cutler is a huge improvement). And Orakpo is great, I think he'll be the best NFL DE in this draft, he's much bigger, faster, and stronger than Maybin, and much much faster (and probably still stronger) than Tyson Jackson (#3 pick, really? A guy w/no motor? Why not just pick Raji, he'd be a better anchor in the 3-4, doesn't quit, and could play both DT and DE). Plus, Orakpo did his work in the Big 12 against a bunch of NFL-sized/quality LTs. He never would have dropped to 13 without so many teams going to the 3-4.. I’m just havin’ fun w/you Oliver.

Best DE out of Texas in a while. Holding is about the only strategy against him. Brute. He’s awesome. Best DE out of Texas in a while. Holding is about the only strategy against him. Brute.

Despite his strength (and he's freakishly strong, benches 500+, squats a ton, etc), he'll have a hard time bull-rushing NFL LTs, but he's a nice addition for a team in desperate need of a pass rush. His best feature is his motor, he doesn't take a lot of plays off. Don't get me wrong, you'd be better off with Jay Cutler, but what can you do...

He's really gonna have to abandon the power rush at the next level. Finally happy with my Jets 1st rounder. So that means he's (Sanchez) certain to be a bust. Decent 1st step and speed.
