Dont think we would get a first for Orakpo, that is just my guess but teams value draft picks so highly now.
With Hutchinson now available does anyone think we should take a serious look at him?

What I said was more of a joke about him being a pussy. However, I don't want a guy who has multiple PF/fines for fighting. One thing is being a bit of a character and being talented, but another is acting on stupidity and getting penalties that affect your team.
Ruhskins, I read somewhere that he calmed down quite a bit last season and avoided fights and stupid penalties. I don't know if that's true because I don't follow the Titans but, if it is and he's matured as a player, then what would you think about signing him?

Hell yes, we should look at Hutchinson! He can still play. I'd try to plug him in at LG for a couple of years.

Trading Orakpo would be stupid. Sure, we have a comparable player with Kerrigan on the other side, but having both of them makes this defense a tough matchup.
As for Mario Williams vs. Rak, I'd rather have Rak...Mario has missed 14 games over the last 2 years due to injury and Orakpo is younger with no injury history and just as much impact.

I think we would than have a definitive answer to Question 3.
After all of these years...finally!

I'm w you, Brian is one of our few play makers on the whole team. If we do it'd better be for a 1st

If you could get his replacement in FA and then pick up a extra 1st rounder by trading him. Yeah.
If we coul replace orakpo with a free agent, why wouldn't our trade partner just take that free agent instead of trading is anything for orakpo?

I am sure (and I hope) that the team would do their due diligence and look into this if they were to sign him. I know there are head cases in the NFL, but when you've been flagged/penalized for fighting a few times, I see that as a problem. I know he's a good corner, but maybe there is a reason why the Titans are willing to let him walk.

Maybe they lack the money a large-market team like us have and can't afford to get into a bidding war over that position.

As far as I know it's not a WR, but I don't want to jump the gun and say anything. I'll let you know as soon as I know.
