Look at last year would you rather have had Sanchez or Stafford now after their first year?

Yep.
This time last year there wasn't a doubt in my mind that Matthew Stafford was the best quarterback in the draft. Sanchez was still an option, but Stafford was just too good for the lions to pass up. Looking back, I still think Stafford's better but Sanchez still managed to produce better so who really knows.

Personally I think it's tough to throw Stafford or Bradford on one of the two worst teams in the league and then say to produce like you were expected to. If you were to put them on a team that has potential to be good as is, it's a completely different story (Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco).

If we are going to select Jimmy Clausen then I want the Lions to select Okung at 2. Mainly because they would be in the running for any of the tackles like Saffold and Brown that might drop from round 1, the lay off between round 1 and round 2 also isn't going to give us much help unless we try to trade down.

That's a good point. They probably will take an OT right before us in round #2. Assuming the skins are staying at #4 I would still prefer that Okoung & Clausen are both available. That way they would have thier choice of the 2. If they draft Clausen at #4 I want it to be because they love him not because their other options are all gone.

yeah that is a good point/way of looking at things. nicely done.

at this point, sitting at no 4, i am good with however we pick; be it okung, claussen, suh, mccoy, berry. im really at a toss up btw claussen and okung. i havent really considered bradford as i dont think he will be there at 4.

any way this shapes up, we are good. we should be able to add 2 starting or atleast competing right-away players (qbs excused).

The Chiefs pick ahead of us in round 2, so I think it'd be better for us if they got Okung (if we didn't). The Lions may or may not address OT in this draft (I imagine they will because it's critical for top offenses, but, it's not a "need" for them).

Ummm, yeah it is a need for them. Their current LT is eventually going to move to guard or be a backup/retire. Besdies, Stafford got a busted shoulder last year.

A plan to get your best five lineman on the field doesn't make a need.

LG is a major need for them, although I'm not sure that they need to use the second overall pick in order to fill it. I imagine that if they took Okung with pick No. 2, he'd play RT and Gosder Cherlius would find a new position (bench). Eventually, he'd be their LT. But I doubt they're looking for a LT for this upcoming season.

Will ESPN let Todd McShay interview Clausen at his pro day in the same manner as Bradford.

Nope but you are the guy for whom I would ask to get me a Hannah Storm autograph. Assuming I wanted one. By the way when are you gonna do that for me?
