Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
Double digit sacks would be a wonderful thing.

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
13. Washington Redskins
The pick: Brian Orakpo, DE, Texas What he brings: Orakpo came off the board this early because he can get to the quarterback. He has excellent first-step quickness, he can redirect insider after starting outside and has better closing speed than his 4.7 40 suggests. That's not to say he can't defend the run. He has excellent upper-body strength and is tough at the point of attack. Still, he could stand to add five to 10 pounds to his frame. How he fits: Washington must have been ecstatic that a pass-rusher of Orakpo's caliber was around at the 13th pick. He fills an immediate need with the departure of Jason Taylor combined with an aging Renaldo Wynn and Phillip Daniels. He is a nice addition to play opposite of Andre Carter and next to Cornelius Griffin and Albert Haynesworth in forming one of the better defensive lines in the NFC.

Re: Meet the Beast: Brian Orakpo
I gave it a B, only because I wanted Oher. But if he gets Double Digit sacks, I will raise it up to an A++

This was a sick pick and we were lucky to land him... the dude is a straight beast upfield and we're going to see a totally changed defense with a line that can blow up things for the backers. Watch the secondary get more INTs, too. |
