    They have us taking Orapko and have Rey falling all the way to Miami at 25...after Laurinaitis and Cushing.

  • That GBN projection doesn't really shock me at all. Rey is going to fall. The only question is how far.

    As far as us taking Orakpo? I like it a lot. I think we need someone to team with Rogers on that D-line and Orakpo would be a perfect fit. But, we also need LB. If we take Curry at #5, I'll be happy too.

  • Very strange mock.

    They've got Curry falling to the Packers at 9, who already have a lot of money devoted towards inside linebackers A.J. Hawk and Nick Barnett. Green Bay also has Desmond Bishop, a guy Phil Savage liked as a 3-4 ILB.

    They must have Curry projected as a 3-4 OLB, which isn't right. If available, the Packers likely would take B.J. Raji (no way he falls to the Falcons at 24).

  • I always saw Curry on the outside....oh well

    If everybody had like minds, we would never learn.

  • I mean, he could play it, but his repertoire of pass-rush moves is limited & he projects very well inside.

    And if you're switching to a 3-4, you can never go wrong drafting an elite NT (though the Packers may be content with having Ryan Pickett play that spot).

    Orakpo will be a OLB if he is picked by the Brown's. He won't be playing DE. He will be used like McGinest and Wimbley, hopefully with Ryan it will be a little more aggressive and not as basic. Meaning the rush will come from a bunch of different positions. So, yes we do need a SILB and a pass rusher at OLB.

    Personally, I don't see Orakpo being taken by Cleveland at #5. Besides Curry, the only other impact player at the top is Crabtree. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Brwon's trade down. There are teams looking for QBs and that is a weak position in this draft. Also, there may be teams that fall in love with Crabtree since he is being compared to Fitzgerald and Andre Johnson.

  • I don't want to take anybody with the 1st pick who we plan on making a position change unless you are talking about a backer who played a 4-3 in college.

    Lets get someone in here who doesn't have the added learning curve of a position change.

    Wimbley had everybody slobbering as a DE to convert to OLB in the 3-4. Pitts takes 4-3 DEs and converts them, but they don't take them at the top of the first round.

    When you are picking #5 you should be looking for a sure thing impact player or trade down.

    Well in fairness, how ofter is PIT drafting at the top of the first round.

  • If we're drafting a front seven defensive player, there's going to be some sort of position change. Even guys who played 3-4 in college are likely to be fits at a different spot in the NFL.
