Orakpo a beast, best Rookie in Madden 10 if you change his position to LE, RE, or DT!

[SiMbEcK11]

I have always thought Orakpo was a beast and followed him through his collegiate career at Texas. They showed how skinny he was when he came in as a freshman and how as a senior he had put on about 60-70 LBS of muscle and they showed him squatting and benching easy reps of about 4 or 5 plates. The guy is an animal and will be better than Suggs in a couple yrs. He is a Suggs/Merriman type of player, a hybrid OLB/DE who is a pass rushing specialist. They have Orakpo as a LOLB if you change his POSN to RE LE or DT he jumps to an 85 OVR and is the best rookie in Madden 10. I have him as my LE on my fantasy drafted team, along with Peppers my RE, and Suggs and Merriman as my OLB's. They will be beasts in dime and Nickel formations when I can sub my OLBs as DEs on passing situations. Also hav Jerod Mayo who is an up and coming star MLB in the NFL. If anybody needs fantasy draft help I can give tips, I made a guide that shows when a majority of high end players go in a fantasy draft. Such as DTs in the 9th and OLBS in the 8-9th rounds!

I was wondering if that would happen when I saw that he was listed as an OLB!! He will undoubtedly have his hand in the grass in my franchise!

Most hybrid/former college lineman get a huge boost from a position change. Its part of how madden rates d-lineman. I believe if you convert merriman to end, for example, he becomes the best player in the game (99).

fixed that

In all seriousness he was a lot of fun to use the one time I played with the Redskins; I never even thought to switch him to DE so thanks for pointing it out.

Since the skins are weak atlb I put him there on running downs then move him to RE on passing downs.Him and Big Al are nasty by each other. THANY YOU DENVER for passing on this freak.

Just FYI, Orakpo has been juicing pretty heavily since his sophomore year in college. Pretty common knowledge down here in Texas.
