Orakpo:
Tackles: 20 Sacks: 3.5
Maybin:
Tackles: 3 Sacks: 0
I don't think the Bills could have used Orakpo in the end.

OMG he hasn't STARTED!!! Not all rookies start out of the gate. If he started and you compared the 2 players, i'd tip my hat and agree. HH, you sure love jumping the gun. I honestly feel, you want the pick to FAIL. Deep down inside that evil, dirty, dark heart.
He's being wasted by the coaching staff. With every other team playing their rookie DE's at LB, and with the Bills' injuries at LB'er, Maybin SHOULD be playing LB'er. WTF!
Yes because all teams have already figured that out on draft day
and how do we know he's not ready to play, how long did it take them to figure out to get Greer on the field? How long did it take them to figure out FJax was waaaay better than A-Train?
These threads are really just ridicules at best
I didn't like the Maybin pick from the beginning, and so far he hasn't proven me wrong.
But give the kid a chance- no one is a wasted pick after 6 games, and he was projected to be a 2-3 year project anyway. I would have preferred getting someone who could play immediately, but unfortunately our FO is always building for a future that never arrives.
You drafted a guy at #11 in the entire draft and his impact has been 3 tackles. Sorry but this is the league of win now so WTF?
Even Maybin doesn't understand why he isn't being at LB.
it was a wasted pick. you had a choice between a guy who could play right away and was pro ready, or a 235lb one year college starter who bulked up but never played at 250.
maybin will only be decent if we switch to a 3-4.
Take a look at what 3rd overall pick DE Tyson Jackson has done, in 5 starts and 6 games. And he was picked by Scott Pioli.
I completely agree. Has he been disappointing? Of course he has. I thought for sure Buffalo would pass on Maybin because he couldn't help them right away.
But whether you're a wasted pick or not does NOT change on a weekly basis. My goodness, the kid is barely old enough to drink.

This is a classic case of horrible roster management and scouting, we drafted a kid with all the athletism in the world and he is undersized and inexperianced
He is more suited for a 3-4OLB than a 4-3 and does not fit the scheme at all to play 4-3 DE in a ****ty Cover 2 Scheme
He is way to young to call him a wasted pick, but get him out of this scheme and get him some real game experiance and then u see what you got
Maybin right now is a victim of horrible coaching and also terrible judgement on the part of Fewell on not finding ways to make sure he is on the feild at least as a pass rush specialist
THis comes down to Coaching and Front Office decisions
i feel bad for Maybin

If Orakpo had been playing DE, your argument might hold water. But Orakpo's playing LB'er, which is where Maybin should be playing as well, this year.
Look at BJ Rajji in GB. He is also not starting and had huge value heading into the draft. He went even before us. Not every pick starts.
Pretty much my thoughts as well... We needed an immediate impact player not a project who came out of college as a sophmore.. but he is a Bill now so we grin and bare it and hope he developes.
I however think he should be used as a OLB some. Especially since we are decimated at the position. We drafted him in the 1st rd early therefore he should be good enough to be able to find creative ways to get him on the field.... he is being paid million, all the more reasons we should be finding ways to get him on the field. We should be able ot depend on him to make some sort of impact NOW....
I fail to see why we are not trying to get him some playing time OLB, I guess the Bills don't feel he is capable of it.. which then brings us back to why reach for the guy at #11

you guys got fooled into believing the hype that he was just going to come in an get one sack after another. He wasn't an every down DE and he had problems vs. the run at the college level.
I think you need to narrow that down some.. many of us weren't on the Maybin at #11 train
in fact I thought Orakpo or Oher / trade back to draft Oher was the way to go
