Just remember this nugget.. when we drafted Hawk at #5, the Packers didn't show much interest pre-draft.

Orakpo has bust written all over him.. at least to me.

To be fair, he isn't just a workout warrior. AP First team all American, Big 12 DPOY, and Bronco Nagurski Trophy going to the best DL in college football. I don't see him dropping to 9.

Not trying to argue. But that how I feel about Brown. It seems like all he cares about is rushing the passer or maybe it's because of Reynolds.

Thompson was reportedly surprised at how big Orakpo's upper body is. That makes me wonder if he also has big eyes.

"While both teams play a 3-4 defense, and Orakpo had a very good workout, Brandt does make clear that Orakpo is not without his flaws.

I think the consensus on Orakpo is very positive. The one question mark on him is that he's one of those guys that appears to play hard 90 percent of the time, but takes a vacation the other 10 percent. But when you're a pass-rusher in 110-degree temperatures it's hard to go full speeed all the time. The weather here in the south is detrimental because these players get tired from constantly rushing the passer in the heat and humidity.
Sure, it's nice to get a really talented guy with a non-stop motor. That doesn't always happen, though. There are also cases where guys don't always work as hard as they can in college because they need to be pushed harder. NFL competition is usually enough to do the trick.

I see Orakpo as a top-10 pick. I can't imagine he'll escape the clutches of teams like the Chiefs, Browns and Packers, all of which now run the 3-4.

Mucky Tundra (10h) : Greg Gumbel passed away today after bout with cancer.
buckeyepackfan (15h) : 1 NFC South @ NFC West @ AFC West other 3 games,
buckeyepackfan (15h) : Packers play NFC East and AFC North in 2025, plus 2 other games
Mucky Tundra (17h) : Geeze Zero get it right!😋
Zero2Cool (18h) : I guess 3 games. Whatever
Zero2Cool (18h) : Bleh, that only impacts two games.
Zero2Cool (18h) : Packers are gonna get 3rd place division schedule next year.
Mucky Tundra (19h) : Kanata, seek help! lol
beast (21h) : I was rooting for the Bears to win and hurt their draft pick status
Zero2Cool (21h) : Forgot there was even a game last night haha
TheKanataThrilla (21h) : That was terrible.
TheKanataThrilla (21h) : Watching that game in its entirety yesterday is proof positive that I am a football addict.
beast (22h) : And horrible time management multiple times... and not being able to score more than 3 points on a team with talent
beast (22h) : Realizing the Bears didn't fix it from the previous week and do the same thing, getting the game to overtime
beast (22h) : They probably are not tanking, but they've absolutely mismanagement some things, such as Vikings seeing the Packers blocked FG and realizing
Zero2Cool (23h) : Crazy of Bears to have that mindset that is
Zero2Cool (23h) : Hail Mary stop away from 5 - 2. Not sure how that flips to tanking. Crazy mindset if true
beast (27-Dec) : I've quietly questioned if Bears are tanking on purpose... they suddenly got a lot worse with some simple concepts like 101 clock management
wpr (27-Dec) : Watching bares fans melt down over how putrid their team is, so enjoyable. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Mucky Tundra (27-Dec) : The Seattle Seahawks defeat the Chicago Bears 6-3. Jason Myers had 6 RBIs for Seattle while Cairo Santos had 3 RBI for Chicago
beast (27-Dec) : Not nessarily, he might of been injured either way. He's playing about 50% of the games the last 4 years
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : If they'd been more patient with him, he'd be back already. Putting him out there vs Bears caused him to tweak it and here we are.
packerfanoutwest (26-Dec) : well this is his last season with the PAck, book it
beast (26-Dec) : Sounds like no Alexander (again), I'm wondering if his time with the Packers is done
Zero2Cool (26-Dec) : Could ban beast and I still don't think anyone catches him.
Mucky Tundra (26-Dec) : Houston getting dog walked by Baltimore
packerfanoutwest (25-Dec) : Feliz Navidad!
Zero2Cool (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas!
beast (25-Dec) : Merry Christmas 🎄🎁
beast (24-Dec) : Sounds like no serious injuries from the Saints game and Jacobs and Watson should play in the Vikings game
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : both games Watson missed, Packers won
Martha Careful (24-Dec) : I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas!
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Oh I know about Jacobs, I just couldn't pass up an opportunity to mimic Zero lol
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : Jacobs was just sat down, Watson re-injured that knee that kept him out 1 game earlier
buckeyepackfan (24-Dec) : I needed .14 that's. .14 points for the whole 4th quarter to win and go to the SB. Lol
Mucky Tundra (24-Dec) : Jacobs gonna be OK???
Zero2Cool (24-Dec) : Watson gonna be OK???
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : Inactives tonight for the Pack: Alexander- knee Bullard - ankle Williams - quad Walker -ankle Monk Heath
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : No Jaire, but hopefully the front 7 destroys the line of scrimmage & forces Rattler into a few passes to McKinney.
packerfanoutwest (24-Dec) : minny could be #1 seed and the Lions #5 seed
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : We'd have same Division and Conference records. Strength of schedule we edge them
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I just checked. What tie breaker?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes its possible but unlikely. If we do get the 5th, we face the NFCS winner
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : Ahh, ok.
bboystyle (23-Dec) : yes due to tie breaker
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : I mean, unlikely, yes, but mathematically, 5th is possible by what I'm reading.
Zero2Cool (23-Dec) : If Vikings lose out, Packers win out, Packers get 5th, right?
bboystyle (23-Dec) : Minny isnt going to lose out so 5th seed is out of the equation. We are playing for the 6th or 7th seed which makes no difference
Mucky Tundra (23-Dec) : beast, the ad revenue goes to the broadcast company but they gotta pay to air the game on their channel/network
beast (23-Dec) : If we win tonight the game is still relative in terms of 5th, 6th or 7th seed... win and it's 5th or 6th, lose and it's 6th or 7th
