2010 NFL Draft: Lions Select Nebraska's Ndamukong Suh with the Second Pick

PrintThe Detroit Lions just made it official: Ndamukong Suh is the second overall pick of the 2010 NFL Draft and the newest member of the Lions. Suh, a defensive tackle from Nebraska, was the most dominant defensive player in college football in 2009 and is yet another new face that will help bolster Detroit's defensive line. He joins fellow Nebraska Cornhusker Kyle Vanden Bosch and former Cleveland Brown Corey Williams as offseason additions that will hopefully help the Lions' defensive line become one of the best in the league.
With the second overall pick out of the way, the Lions are done for today barring a trade. They will go back on the clock tomorrow with the 34th overall pick, but again, that is only if there isn't a trade. Since you should always expect the unexpected with the draft, I'm not closing the book on this being the Lions' only pick just because you never know what can happen.
Welcome to Detroit, Ndamukong Suh. As Rich Eisen said, Ford Field is ready to become the "House of Spears."

Can you actually get jerseys with question marks on them?
I think that’d be cool….for a couple of minutes, anyway.

Glad we got Suh
It’s kind of rare the guy we want to see in our colors at the end of the previous season actually turns out to be the guy we end up picking after all the workouts, combines, interviews, etc.

What a crazy ride to get here
Through the jockeying for draft position during the last couple weeks of the season, when we initially thought St. Louis was for sure taking Suh, then Bradford shot up the charts, yet we still didn’t know if we would take Suh do to Mayhew being so tight lipped!
It’s awesome to know Suh is officially apart of the Lions!
Congratulations fellow Lions fans...
We gots us a Suh!! Suhper pick, a suhperman…who will build us a house of spears! Ahhh…ya!
Excited Fan!
Anyone know who is supposed to start next to Suh now? NFL Network said Suh and Hill. Is it going to be a straight 3 man rotation or Hill comes out on passing downs?
Now Avril has no excuses not to blow up this year. The 3 guys next to him are going to take all the attention.
+1
our DE’s should benefit the most from us drafting Suh. VandenBosch and whoever else plays DE in our 4-3 better be getting some sacks!! Thank God Dewayne White is gone.

This is the best!
I have not been this excited about a Lion’s pick in…
Doesn’t matter.
Time to enjoy!
I am the...
happiest I have been in a long time. When Suh played lights out the last couple years I was hoping, but doubting. Then the begining of the offseason, everyone had Suh going to the Rams, and IDC what people say, I would not have been happy at all with McCoy. I wanted Suh, and miraculouslly (sp), the Rams let the papers and the media talk up Bradford, and we nab the best player in the draft and maybe the best in the draft defensivly in the past 2-3 years. WOW!!!! GO LIONS!!!!

The Rams had to take a QB
They can’t pass 3 straight years on one
PIZZA?!?

Suh is a Lion
I feel like we just turned a corner as a TEAM .. we got a guy that speaks softly and carries opposing players around like ragdolls :)
Never give up..we will be atop the NFL one day:)
Suh whooooo
I am so happy. What a great pick. we are going to have a dominant DL.
I have to say, I had a lot of emotion building into this pick and to me it felt the same as when we beat Washington and Cleveland
It was a victory for us and I am happy about that. Can’t wait to see him play this year.
Welcome to Detroit !
May Ford Field and The House of Spears inflict pain and misery to the N.F.L.’s visiting guests.

You'll be very pleased with Ndamukong Suh
Not only is he a great player, but he’s also a great individual.
I don’t mean to be like a spammer, but for a little more about Big Mister Suh, check out Corn Nation’s Ndamukong Suh section. You landed quite a player.
