Where is Orakpo going to play if yall run 4-3?

I'd probably say DE.

Seriously... what the **** 49ers... what the actual ****.

Speculation is the LEO, whatever the hell that is.

I think LEO is a hybrid DE/OLB. He certainly isnt an every down DE. Im not sure I like him as a OLB in 4-3 either. But Inthink LEO is just a pass rusher.

The whole organization is a mess. Now Bruce Miller, who I loved, is a wife beater. I can't possibly like a team this dysfunctional right now. I'll follow and watch with passive interest and still root for Kap but this is disgusting.

Yeah, what I gather

I'm skeptical because of his health issues, but it seemed every year he was healthy he was tremendous in Washington. That makes me not worry as much about fit.

Yeah hes top 5-6 edge pass rusher.

I love Hardy to the Falcons. Include an Opt out if he gets busted. When he plays he's arguably the best 4-3 DE In the NFL.

The #Falcons are NOT front runner for Brian Orakpo. 3 teams: #Colts, #Cardinals & #Washington. Atlanta isn't even talking to him right now.

Arizona makes a lot of sense.

I'm fine with no Orakpo. I'd rather get Hardy or build up with some depth guys and hope our number 1 pick works out.

Ugh

 

[Tapate50]

Hardy would be fine with me. Is he ok to sign right away ?

 

[Tapate50]

Rotoworld predicts ATL to end up with Malcolm Smith, Brooks Reed (At LB), Henry Melton, and Orakpo.

That is a much improved unit on paper. I like adding Melton at a cheaper rate than Peters will likely receive. I am all for keeping Peters, but if Melton comes on a shorter\lesser deal then I'm good with it. They predict 1\4.

The team apparently reached out to the AJC to shoot down the Hardy interest completely...soooo that's out.

Gore got a call from Andre Johnson when he was facing being cut saying lets both go play with the Colts and are both going to sign there.

WOW.

Andrew Luck's stock just flew up.

Too bad Andre Johnson sucks now.

Lets see what happens now that he has a good QB.

Signed Trent Cole as well.

Pretty good signings. Not a ton of money on any one name
