I really don't know who i would take, Raji like i said i don't know how sold i am on him. He had another top DT playing right next to him so what happens when he is on his own?


I also don't see Jenkins going that high or Andre Smith after what happened at the combine.

To me, it's definitely between Orakpo and BJ Raji.

And there was talk of Aaron Maybin falling to the 2nd round because of his very poor combine performance. Wow, what if we could get Raji in the first round and Maybin in the second?

That would be GREAT value!

(Yes, wishful thinking.)

never going to happen lol. thats like what if favre went out to a nice seafood dinner with ted thompson.

Drafting on need, I would say Raji. Quality, I think Orakpo.

I'd go with Raji. The draft and the NFL both aren't to deep with good NTs and to me, that's what a 3-4 is build on. Take this guy, hope that Harrell will be healthy, rotate Harrell, Jenkins and Jolly at DE and you have quite a solid D-line.

Going on quality mostly, I'd say Orakpo. Like said before, he compares to Ware at this point and that's one hell of a guy to have when you have Kampman on the other side.

It won't do us alot of good though if we don't have a solid NT/D-line and I think we can get a decent guy in the 2nd round at OLB, while we can't upgrade our D-Line alot later on. Kampman doesn't need a beast on the other side if he's as good of a fit at OLB as they point him out to be.

It is going to be a VERY tough decision for Ted Thompson to make between Raji and Orakpo (I hope those are the two he has it narrowed down to.)

In a way, I hope that Orakpo gets selected before the Packers draft, and then we get Raji. Then we can't get mad that we didn't select Orakpo later on when he's the defensive player of the year.

when you know he will be. plus i also think that he will be a great great great NFL player. look at his combine. 4.7 40. 31 reps of 225 one of the highest of the linebackers, top performers is verticle, long jump also. great pass rusher. wait now i sound like mayock when i say take him he and demarcus ware are one of the same. perfect fit for our system. if he is still available take him. but which team will he is almost a sure 3-4 who else is 3-4 in front of the packers? browns i think are the only ones

they have needs at that position because migginist is gone and who else will play there. there has been talk of them releasing or trading shaun rodgers. i hope that happens so we can still have orakpo and not be angry cus we didn't take raji when he performs well. and the point was made earlier. can he play that well without the DT next to him of the BC d-line? guess we will wait and see.

It's going to be tough to see both Cleveland and Cincinnati passing on Orakpo. Both need a pass rush.

I agree, I think he will be off the board at 5, making my previous post pointless.

Anyway, I still don't get why we always take Jenkins when Orakpo isn't on the board, I thought his stock had dropped, yet, even on Kirwan's new mock draft, we're still taking Malcolm while Raji goes to Denver at 12.
