We basically got one of the better DEs for next years draft a year early for only a 3rd rounder. How can you not be happy about that?

Because some people just want any excuse to complain about our FO?

USAF summed up my thoughts. Since Orakpo was drafted as a DE, I am still under the impression that once we get a SLB, Orakpo will be back to DE.
If Orakpo is permanently moved to SLB, then I can understand the move. I am skeptical about how well he will pan out as an elite SLB.

I didn't know either until I looked it up:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NFL_Draft# ... ntal_DraftSupplemental Draft
In late summer, the NFL also holds a Supplemental Draft to accommodate players who did not enter the regular draft because they thought they still had academic eligibility to play college football. Draft order is determined by a weighted system that is divided into three groupings. First come the teams that had six or fewer wins last season, followed by non-playoff teams that had more than six wins, followed by the 12 playoff teams. In the supplemental draft, a team is not required to use any picks. Instead, if a team wants a player in the supplemental draft, they submit a "bid" to the Commissioner with the round they would pick that player. If no other team places a bid on that player at an earlier spot, the team is awarded the player and has to give up an equivalent pick in the following year's draft. (For example, FS Paul Oliver was taken by the San Diego Chargers in the fourth round of the Supplemental Draft in 2007; thus, in the 2008 NFL Draft, the Chargers forfeited a fourth-round pick.)
The 1985 Supplemental Draft was particularly controversial. Bernie Kosar of the University of Miami earned his academic degree a year early but did not enter the regular draft that year. Rather than finish his eligibility at Miami, he entered into talks with his favorite team, the Cleveland Browns. They advised Kosar to delay his professional eligibility until after the regular draft. They then traded for the right to choose first in the Supplemental Draft. This angered many clubs, notably the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants, who had expressed interest in choosing him in that season's regular draft. Many of today's Supplemental Draft rules aim at preventing a recurrence of this incident.
As of 2007, players who enter the Supplemental Draft usually are graded as players who should be drafted at a later round, or who have college eligibility problems (poor academic or discipline issues). Only 38 players have been taken since the NFL instituted the Supplemental Draft in 1977.

I'd go as far as to say he won't start this season. I'd say that he'll have a very limited role and get very little playing time but to say he won't play at all is a bit much. I think we'll see him, especially if he shines in the preseason. Plus he can play DT, I wouldn't be shocked to see him in the rotation albeit at the bottom of said rotation.

It infuritated me seeing QB's that had no business outrunning or beating our ends to the corner doing so!!
