I think Suh might be the best player in the draft, but I wouldn't say I see him as the type of player teams will regret drafting for the next ten years. I think he's just going to develop into a pro bowl defensive tackle by 2013.

Lets be realistic, when your starting a franchise, what should you draft? QB OR DT? Let me think.... O yea QB. Hell we have the best DT in the league and you saw what it got us (4-12). Point is everything starts with a QB, yes even Oline. If you don't have a QB (Vikings before Favre), you won't be real successful.

I don't think Tripp was saying that we should draft Suh, merely stating that he is not as dominant as someone made him out to be.

And your Vikings example is horrible. Minny had everything (elite defense, very good offensive line, good running game, and decent receivers), EXCEPT a QB to be successful. While Favre was the icing on the cake, one of the reasons they were successful, was because that offensive line kept Favre upright.

We are far from being just a QB away from being successful.

I agree about us, but we need a QB anyway.. As far as Minny, I'll go with Dallas as another example. Before Romo where were they? Avg or below avg. Same goes with New Orleans before Brees.

Yes, but your QB won't be much of anything if he has no protection. Brees has a good line in front of him...Romo...I'm not sure about them and their line. We can pick up Bradford, but Shanahan better do a damn good job fixing our POS line, otherwise we'll be back with the same problem next year.

No doubt, I would love to see Okung in DC just as much as Bradford.

I don't think I'd build my O-Line around a player like Colt Brennan, but I'm open to the idea that this is only because he wasn't drafted high enough.
