Please Draft ??? at #13

John Denny · 04-21-2009, 06:46 PM

Everette Brown scares me in a bad way. He's in the same mold as Derrick Harvey and Quentin Groves (both busts for Jacksonville last year) and Jason Taylor for that matter. If we're going to draft a DE, we should go with Jackson (LSU) or Ayers (Tenn) if we can't get Orakpo. They won't get tons of sacks but they will stuff the run and that fits our defense perfectly.

I've been hearing alot of Orakpo talk. Can someone tell me what position he's going to play at the NFL level? He's 6'3 and 260lbs. I don't think he can play de in a 4-3. Is he going to play SLB and take Washington's spot if we draft him? He seems like a better fit for a 3-4.

That's the same build as 6'4" 265 Carter.

Yeah I realize that. Not comparing the two but I don't think Carter is really that good.

Many folks have said that his frame allows room for more bulking up.

Anyone but Sanchez we do not need a QB, i repeat we do not need a QB.

TheMalcolmConnection · 04-21-2009, 08:15 PM

I voted for Smith. Years of game field don't lie and he was the number one tackle prospect until pulling a boner for his combine.

53Fan · 04-21-2009, 08:51 PM

I'd be fine with Oher, Smith, or Maualuga. I would probably be more excited if we took Rey, but we need to start adding some serious talent and youth to our o-line. So that would be my order. I would've been ecstatic to get Curry but I recently read that he eats babies!

The Goat · 04-21-2009, 09:34 PM

Huh, i'm a bit surprised Orakpo leads the poll. I'd have thought Smith would. I mean based on talent and past performance Smith was scouted as a top 5 pick. Orakpo is only considered the 4th or 5th best DE in the draft according to Kiper and some other analysts.

Well a lot of people have him at #1 also, but every time I see Orakpo I can't help thinking of Vernon Gholston. My GF is an Ohio State fan and I kept telling her last year that I just didn't see it. It was all about size, speed, etc. but when I watched him play, I wasn't very impressed. I'm concerned about injury issues with Orakpo and honestly he just doesn't blow me away when I watch him play.

I agree 53, I would be more inclined to go with a trade down and try and catch Tyson Jackson DE LSU.

I'd be surprised if Jackson was there at 13, but yeah if he's there then there probably isn't a better fit for our team than him.

Talk about a player rocketing up the draft board...but in Jackson's case I think it's smart scouting. He's maybe the safest pick in this year's draft along w/ Jason Smith and Aaron Curry. Watching his highlights it's very impressive how quickly Jackson collapses the pocket...personally I prefer him over Orakpo.

Agreed. I see a run on DE's starting with Green Bay at #9. If that happens, we'll probably get a crack at one of the top 4 tackles, or a DE like Ayers or Maybin. I have a feeling Orakpo, Jackson, and E.Brown will be gone. That being the case, I'll stick with Oher at #13.

SmootSmack · 04-21-2009, 10:57 PM

My guess is Campbell would be part of any trade discussion
