Yeah I think there was some genuine reason to be a little concerned. The top picks have been coming in slowly. I really didn't expect this to go more than a few days but you never know. Good to have him signed and delivered.

Re: Orakpo signs
Crazy, you can watch for updates all day. Go to get ready for bed and he signs. With my luck I will be getting a beer when Cooley catches the winning pass in the Superbowl!

Great news

Samsonite! I was way off!

$33 million for the 13th pick in the draft would have been an incredible job by the agent. That's more like top 10 money.

That's a very reasonalbe deal if he becomes a starter, which he'd better!
Of course if he has a couple double digit sack years early in the deal, say by year 3, his agent will start talking to the danny.

Anyone know what #13 got last year, that's always a good starting off point.
