if he is there when we pick in the late 1st, I would be ecstatic if we drafted him. He has been a beast all year. Today against the vaunted OU OL, he was living in the backfield. He definitely made Loadholt earn his meal stipend this week.

He would be a perfect compliment to Ware and Spencer as a pass rusher.

I really think he's pushing himself into the top half of the first round. He's been absolutely unblockable. Monster.

The officials could have called 10 holding penalties on Loadholt without any trouble. It was the only way he could stop Orakpo.

He has to get held every play..I mean it's pretty funny. It is scary to think of how many sacks he would have through 6 games if the refs didn't let him get held. Would be well into the double digits.

At this point, he's probably a top 10 pick... he's very strong for his size, not many 260 pounders are benching in the 550 pound range...

Maybe we have to see how the rest of the season pans out and see who declares and doesn't declare. I think the #1 DE right is Micheal Johnson from GT.

not sure if u are being serious or sarcastic with this one.....

i am not sure about the past games....but he definitely was too much for Loadholt to handle. what this told me was, maybe we wont be able to get Orakpo to fall to us in the 1st, but I definitely dont want LT Phil Loadholt now. He just cant handle the combination of speed and power and in the NFL there are far too many DEs and OLBs with both assets. Loadholt definitely failed in his first true test against a top pass rusher.
