He looks good to me. Exactly what we need. Had 8.5 of his 18.5 sacks on third down. He beat Peat from Stanford a few times. I know he's rated as a 2nd rounder. For team needs and I hate trading back, but if we could make two seconds out of our first that will be nice. I would target him and Devin Smith. Smith brings the only thing lacking on our offense true elite deep ball speed threat. Anyway,, opinions?

I like Orchard. Doesn't look like OO, for example, but neither did Suggs.

He's an extremely similar player to Lawrence. And just like Lawrence I think he will be a good, not great, DE. Slightly small and only above average athleticism for a DE. I'd pass on him in the 2nd personally just because of Lawrence already being here. I'd rather see a guy who is either an all out speed pass rusher drafted or a big powerful SDE. Another guy who is in between the 2 seems redundant to me.

Orchard: 6'3 250 33 3/4" arms 4.8 40, 7.28 3 cone, 4.43 20 yard shuttle, 115" broad
Lawrence: 6'3 251 33 3/4" arms, 4.80, 40, 7.46 3 cone, 4.31 20 yard shuttle, 113" broad

I don't think Dallas is interested in the least. I happen to like the player.

Good comparison. Lawrence, though, looks like he has a little more growth potential size wise on his frame.
