Hey Mike, I am very in line with your thinking. Russell Okung is an impressive option for the Lions. I also like the possibility that Jared Veldheer(think this is a Dutch name?), a resident of west Michigan and graduate of small college Hillsdale College could be an interesting project for the Lions to undertake, should he remain available in the second or third round.

The Lions realize that they need to address their O-Line, but remain stubborn about Jeff Backus being a solid, steady contributor, which is a polarizing opinion among fans and team observers in the media.

We’ll see?

Maybe if the LTs are good enough to be drafted at 4, we should just swallow hard and take one at two

So far so good with Mayhew, other than their complete lack of anything resembling a secondary, they look like an improved team, on paper at least.

There have been several accounts that Millen was not a good listener, nor would he have swallowed his pride and asked for help, either. Dumbass.

The draft is going to be a lot more interesting now, for sure. I still think that they should take their choice of either Suh or McCoy, rather than trade down or go in another direction. It makes too much sense.

I’m starting to believe that Mayhew knows what he is doing. It still bothers me that he wasn’t able to help Millen out more though. Was he just waiting for Millan to crash and burn?
