I heard that too. What did JLC say, he thought Orakpo would end up as an average player at best. Part of me gets slightly worried when I hear that sort of thing but then I remember the source.
The next time JLC says anything accurate about the Redskins will be the first.
Among his 'misses' over the past few months:
-Redskins won't be involved in/be able to afford/sign Haynesworth.
-Redskins won't be able to retain DeAngelo Hall
-Redskins won't be able to afford Haynesworth and Hall
-Redskins will keep Springs for at least another year
-Redskins will keep Jason Taylor for at least another year
-Redskins will look to trade Carlos Rogers and/or Rocky McIntosh before the draft
-Redskins won't be involved in Cutler talks
-Redskins won't be interested in Sanchez
Of course he also said last season that we'd be no better than 6-10.
I'm amazed the Post hasn't moved or replaced him on the Redskins beat. Jason Reid seems to be more more unbiased and has a good rapport with the players. He also seems like he hasn't pissed off the front office like JLC has. I'd like to see Reid as the #1 and have JLC cover DC United (are they still around?).

No doubt it will be Sanchez. Who does he have to throw to?

He's gonna be paid to manage the game not win it. 3 strong runningbacks great defense yes mediocre wrs but as long as he doesn't go Phil Mickelson or bust a Peyton Manning he sholud be okay.

And if we passed on Orakpo I can only imagine JLC ranting on how we yet again ignored the DL and missed the chance to have a quality pass rush threat.
Well done. JLC will always find something to whine about.

Damn JLC. I just can't even read his columns. It's like listening to Chris Matthews and Fox News. No matter what the event is, their opinions are made up before anything's even happened.
Orakpo will be GOOD this year, with 6 sacks I predict, rotating at DE with Daniels and Wynn.
2010 Orakpo will probably have 10.5 sacks, and only continue to improve.
Andre Smith is the guaranteed bust of this draft. Look what happened when the Nick Saban locker room disappeared?- Out of shape, stupid, lazy, terrible character.
The Bang-gals locker room is a POS. He walks away with his signing bonus and pisses it away in 3 years. Hope the kid proves me wrong. For his sake.

Disagree with one thing...JLC should be punted to cover Pro Lacrosse.

Great record keeping Pain! JLC's stats are far worse than Orapkos. JLC feels Orapko is a bust, we all feel JLC is the bust!

Stafford and Freeman will not be worthy of the slot they were taken. Ergo, they will be "busts".
I don't like the Beanie Wells pick much.
Here is my reservation about how good a player Orakpo can become. I am "old school" about defensive ends; I think they have to be able to play the run very well IN ADDITION TO rushing the passer upfield on every play and coming around the tackle for sacks. When I saw Orapko, he did NOT play the run very well.
If he works and learns to do that, he can become excellent; if not he will become a third down pass-rush specialist. And if that is all he becomes, then for the #13 pick in the draft he will be disappointing. Time will tell...
