    Pick one

    Based on today's combine results, if the Bills are on the clock at pick #11, and they are going DE no matter what, who do you take?

    1. Orakpo
    2. Maybin

    Then tell me why one over the other...

    If Orakpo is available and we don't draft him....

      Orakpo- he has shown more and has better measurables.

          Between those 2... Orakpo.

          But, defensively, I'd rather have Curry, Jenkins, Raji, or Brown before Orakpo.

            How about Brown? From what I've seen, this guy is the most polished pass rusher...IMO. I'd be happy with any of them.

                To me, Brown is the best pure rusher. The problem is that hes a bit undersized.

                  I figured if I put Brown, that he would get a lot of votes. So I figured I would just pick a good debate of Maybin and Orakpo

                    Honestly, his size doesn't bother me. He's built like a brick shi*house and he has a ton of pass rushing moves. I'll take my chances...

                      Im happy with any of the top 3, but Maybin is the most raw. He'd be my last choice of the 3.

                        I'd agree with that and let's not forget English...there will be a good player at #11 for the Bills...now we just have to hope they don't f'k it up!

                          Re: Pick one

                          I got Brown at 6-2, 256... Orakpo at 6-4, 260. Compare either one to Schobel 6-4, 243... Denney 6-7, 264... Kelsay 6-4, 261... Ellis 6-4, 261.

                          I don't see any undersized issues with either.

                            I agree...I think most of the "experts" are caught up in his height. They feel he is a little short. I never knew a person had to be tall to be strong, run around a tackle and sack a QB?

                              Conventional wisdom says 6' 4" 270 is protoypical, so 6' 2" 256 is too small.

                              That said, maybe we should ask Freeney or Mathis what they think about conventional wisdom!



                              As I said, Id take any of the top 3 and take my chances.
