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

*Shrug*

Went back to 1998, which is 10 full drafts ago. Guys that were somewhere between teh suck and "not that special" as pass rushers drafted in the top 13:

1998 Andre Wadsworth (Arizona)(3)
2000 Courney Brown (Browns)(1)
2000 Shaun Ellis (Jets)(12)
2001 Justin Smith (Bengals)(4)
2001 Andre Carter (Niners)(7)
2001 Jamal Reynolds (Packers)(10)

-- note -- in 2002-2005, very few DEs / OLBs were taken in the top 13. Those that were were mostly successful (Ware, Merriman etc.)

2006 Kamerion Wimbley (Browns) (13)

Book still out on:

2007 Gaines Adams (Tampa Bay) (4)
2007 Jamaal Anderson (Atlanta)(8)
2007 Adam Carriker (Rams)(13)

Whoever in 2008
