What are folks thoughts on this years version of Vernon Gholston. Last year he blew up the combine and was picked 6th overall, yet didn't play a game last year for the Jets. My pick would be Brian Orakpo especially if he goes to Cleveland, would be very similiar with Mangini now the coach in Cleveland.

That is what I am reading about Orakpo.

Since that is the case, I hope he becomes a Commander.
 
I think Orakpo is going to be a very good player. He is quick off the ball has great moves to the inside and outside on the pass rush and is a good run stopper as well. Hell I would love to have him opposite Ware but there is no way that will happen

I agree on Orapko. For a 3-4 defense I rather have him than an Aaron Curry who is supposed to be the first LB taken. Orapko is going to be a good one health permitting.
