BrandonJ83 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I have seen this guy play and he is phenomenal. I think if he is still on the board we draft him due to his awesome ability. I know we need OL and sometime in the next few years we need a qaurterback but I personally hope that they keep Campbell for two more years. We can draft Suh, pick up some Oline guys with our other early round picks and maybe look for a QB next year? I think RB will be fine with improved blocking and our WR corp is going to be really good next year, another reason i think we stick with Campbell who is building confidence and continuity with these guys. Anyways my real question is if we did draft Suh, would our defense become a 3-4 front. It maybe a very good way to mix it up and have Suh, Hanyesworth, and Carter rushing with Orakpo being a swing guy who could come off the line and rush the QB or drop back in zone blitz type set up which could generate turnovers with the lesser QBs. Anyways, i think it would be fun to see this defense play together. A real PlayMaker type D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deejaydana Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 two things here: we already have Fat Albert and Suh will not be on the board when we select. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ83 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Just saying if he was... And with Big Als recent injuries, if we had Suh then we could run the same D we run now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
addicted Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I will be pissed if we draft a defensive player with our first pick. Not taking anything away from Suh, but I don't think this would benefit us as much if we drafted the top QB, running back, or top offensive lineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Why? We have a good defense, invested too much in Haynesworth to switch to a 3-4 plus we have bigger needs on the OL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laron Burgundy Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Suh's best fit is in the 4-3, same with haynesworth. If we draft suh we wouldn't have to change schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ83 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Well if we go QB, I don't really see any that I would waste a top 10 pick on and it just seems like a waste to draft an Ol with a top 10. I also don't think we need RB as I stated in my OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonOfWashington Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I would say if anything we would stick with a 4-3 with Suh. Our D-line would be Carter, Haynesworth, Suh, Orakpo. My goodness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoRnAndRaiSedSkinsFan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 If we drafted Suh, we'd stick with the 4-3. I wouldn't mind Suh. If you have a chance to get a dominant DT, you have to go for it IMO. Haynesworth won't be around forever plus he misses games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonJ83 Posted December 13, 2009 Author Share Posted December 13, 2009 Yeah we should draft him due to the fact that I think Campbell with be ok with good line in front of him, and the running game will definitely improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cphil006 Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 so, our 3 down linemen will be Suh, Haynesworth, and CARTER??? I would take Eric Berry if he's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annonymous Source Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Well, if we were to draft Suh then I would expect to see a lot of 4-3 and even some 5-2 fronts. If we had our personnel in a 5-2 imagine the terror of trying to pass block. Suh would be over center, Haynesworth would be over Left Guard, and Orakpo/Carter over LT. The other team would be hard pressed to double team more than one of them. Fantasies aside, even if he were still on the board we have things that we NEED to draft even if drafting for need isnt a good strategy. All I have to say to people who dont think we need to draft OL...D'Anthony Batiste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ADF Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 I think Griff is on his way out. So, I wouldn't mind if we drafted Suh if he were available with our pick. We just have to address the OL somewhere in the first four rounds in the draft. Maybe even twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genghis Khan Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 well the thing is after the senior bowl and combine everyones top 5 will change and if the the top two oline prospects are gone then we should draft him. We would have a dline that would rival the minnesota vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsManNJ Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 if he is there take him. him and AH would help our D tremendously. Yes our D is good but seems to always falter at critical times. He could help make our D lethal. 2nd round go OL. Keep JC one more year or go with CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9_to_42_td Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 No, we should trade our first rounder and pick up as many offensive lineman as we can. Then hopefully one or two will work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HBnotBlades Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Suh may go first overall and at the very least in the top 3. If he falls to us he will be the top player on the board when we pick and we'd definitely choose him. He's in the conversation as one of the best DT's the college game has ever seen and if you get a chance to take a guy that seems destined to turn into an all-pro player for years to come you take him. That said, the draft isn't held this weekend. A lot could change in the next few months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snagletooth Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Suh will be the best player in the draft. I wouldn't hesitate to grab him if he somehow slips. But I don't think that would facilitate a change to 3-4. Suh and Big Al would likely dominate regardless of scheme, but AC for sure, and Orakpo, seem to be better suited for the 4-3.

bigyim Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 If Suh is available at our pick, you try to trade down. If you don't get what you like in return, call their bluff and draft Suh. Then you try to work a trade afterwards, ala Eli and the Chargers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hubbs Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 Suh does not a 3-4 make. (Hell, I'm pretty sure Suh himself would be much better in a 4-3 front than a 3-4.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 DL Griffin, Haynesworth, and Suh. Depth would be Jarmon and Daniels (all large enough to play in a 3-4. LB: Carter, Rocky, Fletcher, and Orakpo Drafting Suh would certainly give us the players to convert to a 3-4. We have several players large enough for that system and enough light weight DE's currently to fill the line backer roles. Rak and Carter are both a great size for OLB in a 3-4 which works best with lighter DE type players. I'd still prefer an OL but the OP's premise is viable.

Dallascrushers Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 One major issue...the area that we have the least depth is at linebacker...I mean outside of the starting three we only have hb blades...we would have to find another outside linebacker to add depth...and I don't think changing the system is a good idea.

Mooka Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 We'd have to trade Carter, who is neither a DE nor an OLB in the 3-4. We'd need a new defensive coordinator as well. Can Rocky play the interior LB position? Think that kinda wastes his ability to shed blocks. If we could sign, say Demeco Ryans from Houston it could work.
