The Big Cat Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 http://nfldraft.footballjabber.com/story.p...-brian-orakpo-1 If this monster falls to 11, we better grab him. Anyone in the top 10 in the need of a LT for a 1st round swap and their 2 or 3?
KD in CA Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Unfortunately that video doesn't show me anything to judge whether he'll be a good DE in the pros. Everybody can drill the QB when they are free on the blind side, but how's his footwork? How's he react to double teams? Does he have a tendency to over pursue? How often does he get penetration on 3d and 1? I wish draft videos would focus on stuff that matters.

Coach Tuesday Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 No way he gets past the 49ers (and no way we move up). And maybe that's a good thing.
H2o Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 No way he gets past the 49ers (and no way we move up). And maybe that's a good thing. Yeah, that worked out for us on the Patrick Willis deal too
Pete Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 he is going to have a monster combine and shoot up draft boards. I highly doubt he makes out of the top 5
Magox Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 If he is available I would love to have him. Him or Brown. GOD PLEAAAASEEEE!!!! Just give me one of these two!!
nemhoff Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I normally have a no UT player policy because they seem to not do well in the NFL. This guy may change my mind on that.
BeastMode54 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 If we don't get him, I definitely think we could get Brown or Johnson. The combine will show a lot as well. THis video, while he's a beast in the gym, doesn't show me too much. Look at Gholston. He was deemed a "workout warrior" and I don't even think I saw him play one snap this year. He still might be good, but we need someone to make an immediate impact. Draft a DE, then TE and sign Matt Birk
Fan in San Diego Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Looks awesome, sign him up. What an upgrade to our DE's
thebandit27 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Anyone in the top 10 in the need of a LT for a 1st round swap and their 2 or 3? while we're at it, can we also trade lynch, evans, jackson, reed, parrish, mckelvin, and stroud? you know, since we don't want or need talent on this team!
cale Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 The best evaluation of NFL Draft players I've ever seen are the ones at nfldraftcountdown.com They watch the guys all through Senior Bowl week in Mobile,AL. They have been right on in most of their observations.
basskik11 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Oh man, this guys is unbelievable...Unfortunately, I don't think he will fall to 11 and the Bills certainly don't have the stones to move up. We are gonna pick some dude that is a bust. I have no faith in our management.
BuffaloBill Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 http://nfldraft.footballjabber.com/story.p...-brian-orakpo-1 If this monster falls to 11, we better grab him. Don't know how good he might be in the pro game but the dude is clearly a freak of nature.
The Big Cat Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 while we're at it, can we also trade lynch, evans, jackson, reed, parrish, mckelvin, and stroud? you know, since we don't want or need talent on this team! You're awesome.
Turn Down For Watkins Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 while we're at it, can we also trade lynch, evans, jackson, reed, parrish, mckelvin, and stroud? you know, since we don't want or need talent on this team! way too make your point
lets_go_bills Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Yeah, that worked out for us on the Patrick Willis deal too It did, we got Lynch out of the deal and wound up with Puz. I wanted Willis too but if we got him then we would have wound up with Michael Bush or Michael Pittman at RB.
oak tree 12 Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 http://nfldraft.footballjabber.com/story.p...-brian-orakpo-1 If this monster falls to 11, we better grab him. monster are you kidding me. did you see him play at all this year? did you see him in the bowl game last week. i.ve been saying all along this guy hasn't shown me anything. yesterday pat kirwin and tim ryan were commenting on him Kirwin basically said he does not see what all the hype is about the guy either. basically he said he was not very impressed with the kid @ all and just didnt see the production and athletic ability. said he's a nice player definitely not a top 15 or 20 guy and quoting him "he's definatly not a dwight freeny". i dont know what you guys are seeing that i am missing because i said the same thing as kirwin here last week before he made his comments.
Yasin's BILLS Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 I'm a little skeptic with defensive players, coming out of the university of Texas, or any player coming out of that school. But it will all determine what he does in the combine. I think Everette Brown will probably be the better fit, But it will depend on what our front office, will decide to do i.e. Donte Whitner in 2006? But he's been better than the player, that was taken before him at the same position Michael Huff. Also out of Texas, so maybe Orakpo won't fall to us, I say he'll either go to Green Bay or San Fran.
