I agree on drafting Okung, but I am very concerned that Detroit takes him.
Suh does have an injury history, and Defensive Tackles have a high bust rate.
They really need a stud LT to protect their expensive QB, and Bachus is not the answer. They won't get a starter in round 2.

In my opinion, it's 60-40 the Lions take Okung.

in regards to okung going to the lions...do you guys feel that would benefit us in terms of trading back?

If it were to happen, I would think it could help us, but then again, Orakpo fell to 13 because people looked for other areas, Suh could see the same thing happen.

I wouldn't think so either, but did anyone think Orakpo would be at 13? Some non qb will slide way down, it will be interesting to see who.

I was right on 4 out of 5.

But #2, reinforces that Kiper has more inside scoop than McShay. On a side note Mel and McShay were going at it today again about Clausen, McShay said Clausen falls out of the top ten, Kiper said no way. I'm betting with Kiper on that one.

Orakpo wasn't projected as a possible 1st and near lock for 2nd or 3rd though

ESPN Insider is reporting that if the Lions take Okung tomorrow at #2 then Haynesworth will be dealt to Detroit for their 3rd (#66) in this draft. Also, the Redskins are close to shipping McIntosh away for a 5th rounder. Just what was reported via Matt Mosley and Ross Tucker.

Bachus is their answer this year, and they will probably take a project in the 2nd Round. I still expect them to take DT McCoy over Suh, for several reasons, and I would (gasp) agree with internetcareer that there is no chance that Detroit takes Okung over either DT. They got the guard from Seattle to strengthen the interior of the line -which was more troublesome for them last year- and Bachus hasn't missed many, if any, games in his career.
