Finally, Barnett's a decent player. But a top 3 pick and top 3 money? You must be outside your mind. The Lions probably regret the Rogers pick, but not because they passed on Nick Barnett. There are dozens of other names you would put above that. The funny thing is, one of the few draft picks they hit on was Ernie Sims. He's obviously been a very big difference maker for that franchise.

Suggs was drafted with the ability to play both positions. Furthermore, the Ravens have played both the 4-3 and the 3-4 during Suggs' tenure there. That is, in fact, one of the reasons they had the hassle with his franchise tag:
