I am with you on this , we need to pick up a stud LT so Albert can go back to playing RG which is what he played in college.

What else can I say about suh except that he will be the nfl mvp within 3yrs. Simply the best defensive player to come out college in the past 10 yrs. Scratch that the best play to come out since payton Manning. Whether you like it or not the chiefs will have him the # 1 rated player in the draft and would jump at the chance to draft suh. If Detroit calls about. Dorsey expect to see suh in a chiefs uniform.
well first off he wont ever be availably to us. so another pointless thread!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some of this is ridiculous.
First of all - Detroit wouldn't call about Dorsey unless Suh went #1 overall. Why would you trade for Dorsey when you could just draft Suh?
If Suh is off the board, why trade Dorsey? Unless you can get a first round pick for him, but then we'd have to wait until 2011.
Secondly, I know he is a very good player, but he has done exactly NOTHING in the NFL. Defensive tackle is hardly known for having quick transitions to the pro level.
If suh is available, that means that at least one quarterback, eric berry, okung, and probably a pass rusher have been drafted. Our best bet would be to trade down, and someone would likely move up for him.
The only way we draft Suh is if we intend on moving back to a 4-3 defense, which would be fine, considering we don't have a plethora of good linebackers, and Vrabel is a free agent. of course, hiring Romeo Crennel pretty much negates that possibility entirely, so again, I have to say that there is a less than 1% chance Suh falls to us, and a less than 1% chance that we would actually draft him if that happened.
IMO the Rams will not draft Suh. Although they don't have super stars at DT, it is one of their stronger positions. The Rams will draftt a QB.
Detroit will draft Suh and the Bucs draft McCoy. Then the Browns draft Berry.
That leaves the Chiefs with a choice of okung or McClain. Okung is a mauler and might not be the right fit for our zone blocking scheme.
With Pioli's history in the draft and that Crennel likes having a LB run the defense, IMO the Chieffs pick McClain.
I agree, we shouldn't get Suh. He's great in college, but so are alot of guys off the line. We can pick up a NT in the 2nd round and he'd still be double blocked if he was big enough. I think we should go after a OLB because our LB's are a bit on the old side and they could teach the younger guys. That's just me though.
Don't forget that if Suh is the best college DT of the decade, Dorsey is certainly the 2nd best.. and he's not exactly adding wins to the record himself.
