Eeach team's situation has to be considered. Philly e.g. liked him but they probably want some flexibility w/their 3rd rounder next year & they are not in great need of a young DE as far as I know. Detroit has so many needs that they didn't want to go too low, but because they were #1 in draft order, their submission of a 4th for Jarmon would've beaten anyone else's 4th.

Bottom line, if they liked him enough to draft in the 3rd round it was a good move. Despite the no. of DEs on the roster, there isn't a young viable starter alongside Carter. Even if Rak becomes srictly a DE, Carter is getting to the age where his speed rush isn't as speedy.

I totally agree. God for bid Orakpo turns out to be a bust cause we will start hearing how he must have been valued too high. He was on other teams list at a lower round. In my opinion....who cares about other teams thought process. Players drafted in the 7th sometimes make it big. Look at Horton, and Heyer as examples. I can understand and appreciate people attempting to guess what a player should or should not be rated or ranked but it's all speculation cause no one knows how well the player will develope for the NFL.

If this kid can get a crash course in our Defense and gets several sacks this yr people will be claiming that we did awsome with this pick. All we can say for sure is he has athletic ability and has proven himself in college which should/could transfer to the pros. Hopefully it does.

The major plus is the organization trying to get younger like everyone wanted with out throwing away picks for a washed up player.
