huzkerbob Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Full disclosure, yes I am a diehard Oakland Raiders fan. (Thanks pops! ) But don't kill the messenger in this case because I think the idea is insane, but apparently Bucky Brooks at NFL.com doesn't agree. According to him a so called "domino affect" could cause Suh to slide as far as #8 to Oakland. Now I could go on all day about why this scenario will never happen, but to save time I'll just give my top two. First say TB does draft McCoy ahead of Suh, ( ) you expect me to believe that another 5 or 6 teams also pass on Suh? Secondly, say they do pass on Suh, your telling me he gets past up by not two, not three, but FOUR O lineman...........In this class!?! Something tells me the disinformation machines in the personnel dept of teams with picks in the 5-10 rang are really working overtime this year in hopes that a franchise player might fall into their laps.

knapplc Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 If Suh doesn't get picked #1 or #2, there will be a feeding frenzy for the #3 & #4 picks as teams try to move up to get either Suh or McCoy. Someone will trade up, almost guaranteed. Quote Link to comment
WCHusker Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 IF Suh were to make it that far(no way in hell that it happens), Al Davis, being the senile inbred moron that he is, would probably pass him up. 2 Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Al Davis would never draft him. He loves guys with sub 4.4 speed that never pan out in the NFL; and this is coming from a longtime Raider fan. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Just more speculation from the media cause there's nothin better to talk about except the NBgay or hockey. Suh's goin top 2, why not 1, I'll never know if he so goes 2. Quote Link to comment

From everything thing I've read, the Detroit Lions are praying to God that St. Louis passes on Suh. So I really don't see Suh going past the second pick. Quote Link to comment
Enhance Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Chalk this up to another writer just trying to spur some pre-draft buzz. Quote Link to comment

So I really don't see Suh going past the second pick. with schwartz calling the shots and making sure vanden bosch followed him to detroit, i can think they're almost banking on picking suh up at two. suh is set to become the lions' cornerstone on defense and vanden bosch is there to provide leadership. the only reason detroit misses suh is if the rams decide to grab suh first and use him for some major, MAJOR horsetrading. anyone who thinks suh is going anywhere later that is puffin' on some major weed.

whateveritis1224 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Siefert (NFC North writer for ESPN) has a good article about expenses and how money-wise it'd make more sense to pick up Okung there. But then there's always the chance it could end up feeling something similar to the Pistons picking Darko over 'Melo in the NBA draft, or the Blazers picking Oden over Durant. Not saying Okung will have a bad career, it's just there's a possibility that Suh could become a transcendent player. Quote Link to comment
DJR313 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Same thing happened to Adrian Peterson. Many thought he would be off the board that year as high as #2, no worse than #4, but he fell to #7. I agree with Knapp, if he is still there at #3 and the Bucs don't take him, there will be teams falling all over each other to get to that pick so they can take him. Too much value to pass up, even as a bargaining chip. Quote Link to comment

Too much value to pass up, even as a bargaining chip. I agree, which is what makes these mock drafts so ridiculous. It's one thing for a team to throw up the usual smoke screens by talking up players they have no interest in drafting to try and insure that the player they do want falls to them. That game is played every year. (Brady Quinn anyone?) But when I see these "media" members trying to make reasonable arguments as to why an average O Lineman from Rutergs will be more valuable to teams in the top 10 than a game changer like Suh, it just turns me off to the entire puppetshow that the NFL draft (and hell the sport itself really) has become.

walksalone Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Hey everyone, I'm Chief, and i'm a Raiders fan... *everyone on the board* Hi Chief I'm hoping that the Raiders don't draft Suh. I just want him to go to a team that doesn't utterly and completely blow goats for nickels. I just want him to have a shot for greatness at the next level. If he is drafted by the Raiders, he won't get this opportunity. I would like him to go to a playoff caliber team, as long as it's not the Bronco's or the Cowboys. I know this is highly unlikely, but i'm hoping somebody swoops in and trades up to get him, like a knight in shining armor, rescuing Big Suh from a potential environment of mediocrity.

NASA Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 I would be shocked to see Suh fall past the 5th pick (Kansas City). Quote Link to comment
irieboy8 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 suh isn't going anywhere but straight to the top..... the rest of this talk is just like the recruiting hype we go through.. the closer we get the crazier senariors come out...... i think we can all agree that suh will not be falling down very far.... i am not gonna get all bent out if Suh doesnt go #1.... i think he'll do his talking on the field....... suhs gonna go where he goes and will let the other teams who passed him up (if need be) know how bad they screwed up........
