That was in reference to drafting Berry. Suh is the best player in the draft period. He'll be better than Haynesworth.

No its not. Read my other post. a college DB may appear to be a really good NFL talent, but we havent had very good luck drafting DBs that high and them playing at an NFL-level right away. Anyone we draft at 5 should not only be a starter right away, but they should also be in pro-bowl consideration their rookie year. They need to make an immediate impact.

I don't. I want Leinhart behind an upgraded offensive line with a 2nd round running back. However, Drafting a QB when you have a bad OL is 1000 times smarter than drafting a RB when you have a bad line:

running backs careers are short. As I stated, we'd be wasting half the RBs career behind a bad line. By contrast, QBs can easily play for 15 years. They also generally take 2-3 years to develop. It actually makes alot of sense to draft a QB before you fix your line and then let him sit on the bench for 2-3 years so that by the time your line is fixed, the QB ready to play. It just doesnt make much sense to draft a QB in the first round when you dont have a good line AND he's not NFL ready. If you're going to select a project QB, it might as well be a later round one. Unless you really think a QB is the next peyton manning, there's not much differnece between a 1st round QB and one taken in the later rounds if theyve both spent 2-3 years on the bench. It really becomes a matter of picking a QB that has the skill set to fit the team's offensive system.
