 Willingness to trade up for SUH
It is well known that St. Louis Needs a QB, and the number one pick is not a good place for a qb considering the depth of them in this draft. Would you be willing to trade up to get the dominant DT Ndamukong Suh. I know this would put us in a bind for getting as much talent as we wanted to out of the draft but even Mel Kiper said that he might be the most dominant DT he has seen in 32 years of covering drafts. Probably won't happen but wonder what your guys thoughts were on it.

 Re: Willingness to trade up for SUH
If we could trade away some current players for additional picks, then heck yea!!
If we aren't able to do that, then I'm afraid it would put a damper on the adding talent to the team.

 Re: Willingness to trade up for SUH
Not going to happen. You are talking about multiple picks to get up and get Ndamankung, and with this draft being as deep as it is, Miami can rebuild there LB corp and add talent and depth to other positions.
I can see Miami trading down for sure though to try to acquire additional picks.

 Re: Willingness to trade up for SUH
With all the talent at positions of need for the fins, I really don't see them trading up. In the end anything is possible, but trading up in round 1 is highly unlikely.

 Re: Willingness to trade up for SUH
Are you kidding the rams sit pretty right were there at and there needs. 1 . best DT in draft # 1 2. IF they wanted to the #2 pick can be Tebow( If jacksonville dont get him ) or Mcoy not to bad if you ask me so i dont see them tradeing unless the offers is too good to pass up. 3. I dont think the the dolphins want to spend the $ on another 1st rd draft pick.

 Re: Willingness to trade up for SUH
Why trade up for a player who would be playing the same position that we currently have the most depth on the roster on?
Suh is a beast, but not worth trading up 10 spots for in such a great draft.....MAYBE if he played a position of need, or something we did not have much youth in. But that's not the case.

If you call depth a bunch of under achieving non-dominate players, ferg is like 39 and I have not been impressed with any of our younger guys I agree its not the satus quo to do it, but for what people are calling the BEST prospect in 32 years, thats a big deal. the contract shouldnt matter because there is no salary cap

Sorry for the mis communication. Suh would not be a NT in a 34. I could see him being a Jay Ratliff type of a guy, but I see him more as a Randy Starks if he plays in a 34.
