Green Bay Packers: Brian Orakpo, OLB/DE, Texas

With the Packers making the transition to a 3-4 defense next season, its imperative that they find athletes who can generate pressure and rush off the edge. Enter Brian Orakpo, a hybrid OLB/DE who displays impressive power and strength for a guy his size. He combines speed and flexibility off the edge and should really excel attacking the corner as a 3-4 OLB.

Wow, Malcolm Jenkins falling to pick 12? Pretty unique mock draft. Oh, and why do the 49ers always pick Sanchez? I'd go with a WR. Bruce isn't getting any younger and I'd give Shaun Hill the starting job for the year to see how he turns out.

I'd love to get Orakpo, Oher or BJ Raji (Although Moala in the 2nd would be good enough for me to). I'm just hoping that Orakpo won't be a one-trick pony... or that he'll be a very good one like Ware.

You want to really make the defense a beast next year.

Sign Julius Peppers or Terrell Suggs and then draft B.J. Raji at No. 9 and trade up to early second or late first and grab Tyson Jackson of LSU.

Raji is a perfect nose tackle in the 3-4 and Jackson is a perfect DE in the 3-4. All of a sudden the front seven looks pretty good on paper.

Just throwing that out there.

I love this idea...but I'm not sure if I'd rather have Everette Brown or Brian Orakpo. I am kind of leaning towards Brown now. I think he's faster, and I like his moves to get off of offensive linemen. I also think he could add a couple more pounds to help him out some, but not sure if he'd NEED that.

Also, I'd rather have Suggs than Peppers.
