So what if a RDE is "situational"? I don't need an everydown defensive player to qualify for what the Texans need. I look to the Giants the last couple years and all those pass rushers they had and can only wish the Texans would supplement Mario, Antonio, and friends with another sackmaster, sliding Antonio inside on 3rd downs if he doesn't need the breather.


No one knows whether Orakpo and others are anywhere near that level of quality, but what seems probable to me is that trading down or out of the first round lowers the team's chances of finding that impact player the defense needs.
If I were the GM and Mr. McNair told me I could only trade up for a defensive player, Curry or Orakpo would be it. Otherwise, I'm standing pat if I can't work a trade down. Orarkpo is a physical freak going by his measurables. In the mold of Mario Williams in that a man that big should be able to move his body that well.
