Schefter: "There's no way" the Rams won't pick Sam Bradford at No. 1

[Dirtbag59]

Chris Samuels, Derrick Dockery, Casey Rabach, Randy Thomas, and Jon Jansen was easily one of the best lines we had. Obviously they don't compare to the hogs but nevertheless in 2005-2007 (Jansen missed most of 2007 but they were still very good) they were awesome. They had one last hurrah in the first half of 2008 and boy did they dominate. Maybe we could win a Super Bowl with JC playing behind a line like that who knows.

Anyway todays wish: Okung-McCoy. It will probably change tomorrow.

For me, McCoy does not impress as an upgrade. So my wish today, barring Bradford, is either:
1st OT Okung
2nd RB Jahvid Best
4th OT Kyle Calloway
5th LB Darryl Sharpton
7th C John Estes

or

1st OT Okung
2nd OT Charles Brown or Vlad Ducasse
4th RB Montario Hardesty
5th LB Darryl Sharpton
7th C John Estes

As with you, every day for me is a new opportunity for a changed opinion.

In my amateur projection, he is a 3-4 inside linebacker.

you think that he could be a good center for us in the zone blocking scheme?

Estes might be. Might not. I think he might be worth a low-round shot.

Well you won't be happy to hear there are rumors circulating that the Lions and Chiefs are working on a deal that would give the Lions Glen Dorsey and allow them to draft Okung at #2

Great.....I guess I wouldn't mind Buluga but his medical history worries me. On top of that I know it's Retro-chic to say you want to trade down but in the case of Bradford and Okung off the board I think that would be the best option. Hopefully at that point someone would really want Berry, McCoy (DT), or Clausen, assuming of course we end up not liking Clausen.

How funny would that be for the 2 names being bandied about for 3 months (Bradford and Okung) to be gone by the time we pick and a collective 'who?' is tossed out there by many that are hung up on those names..

Ok, so it looks like it may be the Browns that are providing Detroit with a DT

Sounds like this makes the Lions' plans harder to predict. According to the article, it looks like they could do a lot of things, pick up Suh or trade down.

Or pick up Okung (not in the article)

You say that but they never even won the division. I love the individual pieces but don't you need results to be compared to any of the lines that dominated for a decade?

Blowing a hole in the argument that a good line alone will get you there.

I don't think anyone is saying a good o-line alone will get you there anymore than a good QB alone will get you there. If they are, they should probably rethink it.

Whose argument is that?
