marauderswr80 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Im all for Buffalo taking him if he's on the boards when we pick......
BillsFan74 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Im all for Buffalo taking him if he's on the boards when we pick...... I'll second that.
billybob Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 the next Bruce Smith or the next Vernon Gholston or the next Alonzo Spellman, who knows
Hazed and Amuzed Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 He looks like a stud, then again so did Mike Mamula...who? That said we haven't had much luck with Texas players, I'm just sayin'...
roy875 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Im all for Buffalo taking him if he's on the boards when we pick...... I'd be shocked if he were not taken before us. DE is a common need on all teams(especially crappy ones), and he could be a great player. Do you think he could beat out Kelsay for a starting spot? (sarcasm)
1billsfan Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Reminds me of the Vernon Davis marketing campaign. A guy working out with big chains around his neck just looks stupid to me. I want a guy that lives and breathes football, not watching himself in the mirror. That vein stuff should be left to those silly primadonna WRs and DBs.

Yeah, that's kind of what I thought when I saw it. As for him being the next Bruce Smith, well, Bruce had as many sacks as a junior as Orakpo has in his entire collegiate career to this point. That's not to say that Orakpo won't be a good NFL player or anything, simply that any comparison of him to Bruce doesn't seem all that appropriate.
Thurman#1 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I always worry about the obvious with guys that strong. Is he on steroids? Does anybody know what the testing programs are like in the NCAA? I always remember Mandarich, Bosworth and others. Great performer, though, and looks like he is seriously willing to work. Gotta love that.

Dinosaur training. Nothing wrong with it.
robkmil Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 a dominating defensive end will change the defense gameplan and chaneg the game for us.
The Senator Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I'd be shocked if he were not taken before us. DE is a common need on all teams(especially crappy ones), and he could be a great player. Don't forget - we're gonna have multiple 1st & 2nd round picks to 'wheel & deal' with when we trade PayMe Peters.
John from Riverside Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 I dont want to give up any picks this year.....we need help in a lot of areas But please for the love of god one bills drive.....use the picks on positions we need. Pass rush, center, linebacker, offensive linemen

And wasn't Bruce Smith kinda of a porker too when he first came in??? In the NFL, everyone is strong. The track record of high Texas picks scares the hell out of me.

The track record of high Texas picks scares the hell out of me. Sorry gang....but my wounds are still deep from the last lineman we took from Texas
ans4e64 Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 He looks like a stud, then again so did Mike Mamula...who? That said we haven't had much luck with Texas players, I'm just sayin'... No he didn't.
Pass the Pipe Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/...videoId=3650227 Wow, I don't think he will be available. I will say I don't care for Texas products and I didn't see much from him during the Texas Tech game, which was a loss.
BADOLBILZ Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 http://sports.espn.go.com/broadband/video/...videoId=3650227 No.
MartyBall4Buffalo Posted December 20, 2008 Posted December 20, 2008 Orakpo is a physical beast, and possibly the best de in this class. He doesn't beat you with pure speed, but has very good technique and strength, and a good closing burst. If you're looking for an nfl comparison. Michael Strahan may be more in line. Personally I'm hoping for Michael Johnson, Greg Hardy, or George Selvie. With several 1st rd caliber, but no clear cut top dend. There's no excuse not to get someone out of the draft. There is no "next bruce smith". The closest player"s" who can have that kind of impact. When he feels like it Julius Peppers. Mario Williams if he keeps it up has all world potential. As does the Giants Justin Tuck. I'll settle for the Demarcus Ware type Michael Johnson in this draft.
