Why Suh?

Short and sweet today, i got something else on my mind right now. If your interested in what that is then go here

OK, here is the next thing I don't understand about St. Louis sports.

What's with all the Rams fans desperately wanting the Rams to draft Suh?

My point being that with the Rams deep history of drafting awful defensive tackles, why are so many Rams fans so desperate do draft another defensive tackle? Furthermore, why are so many Rams fans wanting to draft anyone on defense with the first overall pick when the team has so many glaring wholes in the offense. Particularly at the quarterback and receiver position.

Now I'll admit that I've never watched Suh play a game. For those who are still reading this post, my case against drafting Suh doesn't have anything to do with him. A team with so many holes, and so many high draft picks already on the defensive line, does not need another tackle! That's regardless whether or not he really is the player everyone is hyping him up to be.

Let's throw some numbers out there. The Rams ranked 29th in the league in yards per game and 31st in points per game. So the answer for the Rams is to draft defense? I know having a good defense is very important, but if you cant score any points then isn't having a good defense kind of meaningless? Furthermore, I doubt that adding a guy like Suh (even if he lives up to the hype) would all of the sudden make the Rams defense a strong defense. So why Suh?
