A franchise QB, yes, but I personally am unsure if Bradford is that. This years' QB class is weak and when the Rams are a few years away from being in contention, I'd rather take Suh. Suh has hype, but he also backs it up like a Warren Sapp versus a Vernon Gholston. Suh will demand double teams and he will be one of the top DL in the league in 2-3 years. Bradford is coming off a shoulder surgery with 2 tears in his throwing shoulder.... pretty big gamble with a #1 overall pick. Throw in the fact that you could get Jason Campbell for a 4th rounder, and then select Colt McCoy or The Golden Calf of Bristol with a 2nd rounder. I'd prefer a team (that is a lock for the top 5 next year) having the combo of Suh and either McCoy/The Golden Calf of Bristol/Campbell moving forward. At worst, the QB selections bridge the gap until they can get a better QB prospect. Suh is the top player available in this draft, IMO.

exactly, pretty much no draft experts had bradford anywhere near the top 5 UNTIL he gained some weight. big freaking deal. you all saw what suh did to that dummy, is ten pounds going to make a difference from a hit like that? might make a SLIGHT difference to the pounding on the body, but the head will get smacked around just as hard. they have donnie avery as a receiver, he's a future pro bowler, wait and see.

in addition, look at every team with an elite quarterback. they all have top tier offensive lines (packers being the exception, but thats cause rodgers is the best qb of all time).

one last note, bradford could be jemarcus russel. it's doubtful, but we all thought it was doubtful jemarcus would be THIS bad, so it's possible.

The lions were interested in D-will, if the FO wanted to go that route and let jstew be top cat then we could trade dwill for their first and we could get suh. But id prefer to keep dwill

Under no circumstances were the Lions going to give up that pick for D Will.

Maybe a 2nd rounder, but certainly not their first, that is just crazy talk.

And the other thing....who in the hell would keep a running back that finished the year on IR heading into the end of his contract...over the best D line prospect to come out in ten years????:eek::eek:

Well St. Louis is probably going to pass up on the top D line prospect in the past decade for a "franchise" QB. Dwill is worth that pick, he's proven his talent and the caliber in which he can play at. He missed 3 games yea let's all get together and say that ruined his career. HA...that's funny. What if they take McCoy instead then what we'd be stuck facing Suh twice a year, hopefully Kalil and our guards can contain him.

    • Don't look now, but a 3-game win streak, including 2 on the road in back-to-back games. The Canes haven't won 3 straight since the middle of November, over 2 months ago.  Canes held Dallas to 23 SOG, with a lot of those coming in a late game flurry. Canes have had some difficulty keeping SOG down to where we're used to seeing them. The Dallas game was reminiscent of the defense we saw early in the season- standing teams up at the blue line and making zone entry a real pain in the pads. 
    • Agreed with a lot of this. Couple thoughts, especially towards the OL/future cap things... First, I hope Bryce is good enough to command being paid a Top 5 QB salary. Great news for us if so. But as of now, I think he'd be in that mid-tier range, so that $60 gets cut to 30-40. Baker to Stafford range. Obviously the cap will go up and $60 might be the new mid-tier, but either way I think we're fine here. He either continues to ascend and gets paid Top 5 money because he's that good and thank God. Or, he shows he's Baker level, gets a competitive offer that's outside the Top 10, and we're "saving" money (but also paying someone who may not be the "guy" in that scenario).  The OL is the biggest thing going forward IMO. You're 100% right here about the need for an OL, paying them, % of the cap, etc. Which is why in the next couple of drafts, we HAVE to absolutely nail a couple OL picks. We can't realistically tie up that much money in our OL. So we better turn into the Cowboys the late 2010s and constantly have a revolving cycle of a couple highly paid pieces, with drafted guys who step up and take their place once we have to move on. One highly paid OT, one highly paid OG, and then find rookie deals or cheaper vets that fit well.  Point being, we're teetering on the edge of a few foundational pieces being here now. IF, and history isn't on our side here, we can nail the next couple of drafts...we're in a good spot when it comes to the cap and future. If we don't find a couple of defensive cornerstones and find reliable OL depth that can take over for Hunt/Moton/Lewis as they age or contracts balloon...that's when we're right back in hell IMO. No pressure, Dan.
