Wow, the combination of the fact that he gets to play next to Albert Haynesworth and that he is a straight up monster have added up to the fact that through 9 games, Orakpo has racked up 7 sacks.
That is pretty impressive and 11-12 sacks in his rookie year is not out of reach. I knew that Orakpo would be really good but I didn't think he would be this good this early...
And he's only getting better, the sky's the limit for this kid.

Yeah he was a hit. The guy is starting to make the great plays we thought he could. He would be just a giant in a 3-4 I think.

Our DLine looks to be a very good thing for the next 4-5 years atleast. Orakpo and Jarmon, AH (awesome coming back for those final 3 downs!), and then Golston/Montgomery.

Yep, he is looking good. He seems to be improving each week at the SLB position. Great addition to the team.

Good job VC?
No. You don't get a heck of a lot of credit for drafting the best playerb on the board when you pick. Now if he had maneuvered up to make the pick or made some exotic pick that worked out (like the Patriots pick of Jerod Mayo last year) then he gets credit.
But if you draft the best player on the board and he's a bust, you get blasted.
So to review, best player on the board and he lives up to the hype = no credit
Best player on the board and he's a bust = you are a dumbass

Yeah, and we didn't even see what offers were out there? As big a fan of Orakpo as I am, you still wait and see if someone(not in division) is willing to make a Holy Hallelujah offer and then go with your next best choices. Clearly we had a lot of OL needs that could have been addressed. Or you turn down the offer, but give teams time to stew about it!

Should be in strong consideration for rookie defensive player of the year. Easily.
