There's no real standout in this class, which doesn't favor the Lions.
I think Oher is the best overall player and surest thing available, and he's probably who I'd pick.
If I was the Lions I would trade down. Maybe let the Raiders pass me as they try to grab Crabtree?
Look for some big movement by the Eagles with their two #1s. I either expect them to engineer a trade for Boldin, or to move up to grab a top receiver or power back.
I don't know enough about these kids yet. I don't follow college football closely and learn about those in the draft covering the pre-draft analysis given prior to. From what i've heard thus far, it appears Stafford may be the elite WR pick. Not sure if that means he's #1 overall though.
This is the thing, though...if there's no top notch prospect, no other team WANTS to move up to #1 and spend the money needed to sign the top pick. Detroit's in the same position Miami was in last year, so just take the best guy on the board.Quote:

Stafford's a QB :p, the (potentially) elite WR in this draft class is Michael Crabtree.Quote:

And as for my team, the Falcons, everything I've heard is about them getting a big defensive tackle, Raji or something like that from Boston College, but I'd like to see them get a corner like Vontae Davis.
Lebron James:p
He's signing with the Browns! :pQuote:

Honestly, I like what Kiper has for the Broncos at a big DT but I wouldn't mind seeing someone like Ray Maulaluga come to Denver to play linebacker.
Crabtree is an elite prospect, probably the #1 prospect this year, but unfortunately for the Lions he's a WR. And we all know about the Lions and their history with WR's in the first round...
We better draft Andre Smith
I went to Iowa and saw him play. I really hope he goes in the first round.Quote:

Smith won't be the top pick...not after his combine performance
Leaving because he was having bad interviews. lol. Not much of a performance. Watch how his stock falls now. I read he is ranked as the #5 o-linemen now.Quote:

He'd still be one of their best players :pQuote:

haha, not at 40
And the Cowboys should bring back Emmitt. At least it would make for an interesting Thanksgiving day.
Don't throw away top picks on skill positions. Draft lineman and QBs with top picks...find WRs and RBs off the scrap heap. Any skill players will do if you have a good O and D line.
The Lions need to get a stable pick like Eugene Monroe T or Jason Smith T. This team is so bad, drafting a QB isnt going to help them at all. They need to start with the foundation of the team which is Offensive or Defensive line.
he hasnt been a complete debacle. didnt he rush for 130 yards against the lions... who else can claim that?Quote:

3. Aaron Curry OLB, Wake Forest (Chiefs)
4. Michael Crabtree WR, Texas Tech (Seahawks)
5. Malcolm Jenkins CB, Ohio State (Browns)
6. B.J. Raji DT, Boston College (Bengels)
7. Vontae Davis CB, Illinois (Raiders)
8. Jeremy Maclin WR, Missouri (Jaguars)
9. Andre Smith OT, Alabama (Packers)
10. Rey Maualuga ILB, USC (49ers)
Some of the experts have Stafford and Sanchez neck and neck, so Im curious. Where do you have Sanchez going?Quote:

Knowson Moreno/Broncos
LeSean McCoy/Patriots
Chris Wells/Chargers
Heh. If they have another year like last year the broncos need to take a RB in every single round. Im not completely sold on the Jets taking Sanchez. Brett Ratliff did alright for them in the preseason I think if they get some other players on defense or a big time WR they should do allright. I think Josh Freeman to the Texans might actually work out. He has a cannon of an arm and if he can put it up there to Andre Johnson...that could be dangerous. Where do you have Nate Davis going? The Bucs?
If the Chargers take Wells then LT is done there for sure. If that is the case where do you think LT would wind up?
I'd Say the 3 teams other than the lions taking QB's are the Texans prob. Davis, Bucs prob. Sanchez if avail. and Jets Sanchez if Avail or FreemanQuote:

I agree about him being cut. I mean I dont think any team will trade for him if they know the Chargers will want to cut him anyways. Imagine if one of the division rivals signed him.Quote:
