thank god your not the G.M. or wait a minute, are you Vinny incognito? because that is something that dumb-ass would do. what do you propose we do about our biggest liability, the o-line?
same thing happened this year, do you honestly think they had orakpo as their pick? he was top ten talent and thanks to the radiers and the bills he fell in our lap

Suh is going to require double-teams. Haynesworth already requires that. By next year, its possible Orakpo will, too. Its a very scary proposition, indeed. If he's available, we simply can't pass on him.
I've been saying that we need to draft an o-lineman with our first pick no matter what. Someone like Okung preferrably. There are good defensive players available in the draft every year..but...my gosh does Suh look good. The more I read about him, and after seeing him in the Texas game, the same scenario as BHA describes has been playing in my head over and over and over..... Fortunately there is plenty of time to think this thing out and there should be some options with trades and such. There is a lot of time between now and the draft and a lot could happen. Restraint requires discipline, it should be interesting. My dream would be that we somehow acquire another #1 and get them both. Defininitely a dream. :)

They had been eyeing Orakpo for a while, they didn't just stumble upon him on draft day

they had been eyeing him yeah, so had a lot of other teams. if al davis wouldn't have pushed the button on dhb, him we might not have gotten him.
had orakpo not been there i think we probaly would have got cushings or oher

I think on draft day itself Maualauga was option #2

maybe, it was definitly a lb from usc, and i just like to say oher just to think they might have been thinking about it

I'd like to think that too but I don't think it was the case. Cushing was the first guy they were interested in (as in back in January) but Maualuga grew on them as the off-season progressed to the point that he was the #2 choice. But really they rotated a lot among the three USC guys so at any point on draft day the answer could have been different

Colt Mcoy all the way with the first pick.

I've been pimping Suh for a couple months now, not going to stop. The kid is sick. Him and AH = No pocket.
I realize we need a lot of OL help, but Id rather get a steal with Suh than a reach for the best T.

i dont see him dropping to our pick right now we would have the 5th overall pick by my guess.
1. Bucs
2. Browns
3. Rams
4. Lions
5. Skins
