Well, what's he supposed to say? "Gosh, we really wanted Sanchez but since we couldn't get him, I guess we'll settle for Orakpo?"

Nice pick for Steve Spagnuolo's new defense in St. Louis with Laurinaitis.

But he went further, saying that they had called the 5 teams ahead of us to trade, now I may not agree with doing that, but it certainly is verifiable proof, along with the speed of the pick, to say yes this IS who we really wanted.

Sanchez was taken before the 5 picks before us

I hope that we wanted Orakpo though
