But for every Ware or Merriman or Suggs you can cite, I'm sure with minimal effort I can find the next stud pass rusher who struck out. BC's Mike Mamula comes to mind.

Besides, by definition you've already admitted that Suggs is worth more than a #10 pick.
The Mamula incident happened more than a decade ago. If you take a look at the top 15 of each draft this decade, the scouts have been right far more often than wrong in regards to a pass rushing DE or OLB. A few have slipped but with good reason (Tuck, Allen, etc.).

Suggs may be worth more than the #10 in this year's draft but I doubt anyone would pay more than that.
