but i would be more interested in if learned to fall yet…because even with it healed he will still reinjure it

I think this is an interesting discussion… but in the past the Rams have said that their preference at DT is to get a space eater.
McCoy is less of a space eater than Suh, however, both are more of the penetrating DT sort. Neither are Terrance Cody, however.

I’d prefer Suh over McCoy simply because of the greater size/strength with Suh will provide in the center of the defensive line.

I love the draft because of this. 4 months before it happens, everyone is so sure of who the best players are. Then months of analysis and over-analysis later everyone is confused and rooting for new people. To me, it is just part of what makes it all fun. I have no idea if McCoy or Suh is better, but I like the fact that people aren’t scared to at least ask the question.

Also, on a smaller scale (later rounds) I think that Devany has proven in the last few drafts that he is not scared to go with the guy he wants. In 2008, everyone knew the Rams would go WR in round #2….I just don’t think anyone knew it would be Donnie Avery. And in 2009, I think most fans were thrilled that Malaluga was there for us to pick in round #2, and Devany went Laurainitis. I just get the impression that Devany isn’t scared to take who he wants at a particular position.

…as for betting on Bradford performing well, that’s fine and dandy, but Suh’s going to be at the combine and is going to have his pro day workouts as well as private workouts with the Rams. Something tells me he’s going to further blow us away at these events. The bottom line is, Bradford is the one that has to make up big ground, and Sub could easily push his stock up even more at these same workouts. I don’t like Sam’s chances.

right now. I’m not going to try and project their skill set in a few years, thats impossible. I’m just saying, right now, at this very moment G. McCoy is clearly the better pass rusher, especially since he has moves that he uses.

Keep in mind that the NFC West is a pass-first division (sounds weird doesn’t it). All 3 teams are better at passing than they are at running (you can argue that Mike Singletary is a run first smash mouth kind of guy, but the 49ers had their best games when Alex Smith was throwing all over the field to V. Davis)

right here.

Especially when he said…

over-analysis

With this much time, pundits are going to have to mix things up. They can’t keep writing the same thing over and over until late April so someone was bound to be the first to put McCoy first over Suh. This will cause a little following and people will talk about it, then the Combine will happen at the end of this month and Suh will look awesome again, so he’ll move back up top. Then you’ve got another 2 months and McCoy will start to emerge again until we finally have the draft and this discussion starts all over again.

It was bound to happen and whoever drafts either of these guys probably won’t be disappointed.

I can’t remember who it was but I was watching something on NFL network where someone said McCoy was the better DT. This was like a month ago. I wish I could remember who it was, but it was not Mayock. Now that Mayock comes out after watching Suh in senior bowl practices and game and says the same thing, it really makes me worry about whether Suh is the right guy.

Is it understood that this draft will be decidedly deeper than previous years, and the 2011 draft will be weaker because of the impending/possible implementation of the rookie salary scale?

My question: what kind of leverage will 2011 draft pics have in the way of leveraging trades? Are these picks devalued because of the number of juniors coming out in 2010? Or is Jake Locker important enough to hang on to a first round selection?
