If these 5 guys fall to # 34,who do we take (poll)

I think MOST of the Lions fans want Suh,McCoy,Berry or Okung at pick #2 in the draft (unless we can trade down for mutliple picks in round 2). Whoever they take at # 2 overall,will be a Great player and 98% of the fans will be ok with the pick.,(even if they prefer one guy to another)The key to the Lions draft are probably picks 34 and 66. With these picks the Lions Should grab a CB/S and a running back. But what if one of these guys "slide" to pick 34,what do the Lions do. M.Pouncey G/C (Flor) .Taylor Mays S (USC).Ryan Matthews RB (Fres St).Kyle Wilson CB (Boise St) Mike Iupati G (Idaho) . I do think all 5 will go in round one,but like in EVERY draft a player or 2 slips to round 2.

Definitely Wilson
I’m on the bandwagon and everything, but I definitely hope that Kyle Wilson gets a chance to team up with Louis Delmas (and Eric Berry!) in our secondary. It would be unbelievable.
Right on
I’m a Suh backer, but I have to admit if we had Delmas, Berry and Wilson in the secondary… it would be very sweet. Very doubtful it will happen, though. I think we’ll have a better shot at Iupati than Wilson, IMO.
Lupati
Lupati holds a little too much. He would be a penalty machine!

A little
I think he holds every damn play, more than normal

Kyle Wilson for sure..
If he is not there and it is the same list i had to pick from, 100% for Pouncy. I think he could be our new starting center in at least 1yr if not compete for it or possibly gaurd right away !
For me
It was between Wilson and Iupati and I voted for Wilson because quality CB’s are hard to find so he represents better value.
im with you but I went
Lupati. we won’t be world beaters and this is a big hole at guard. that being said its no bigger of a need than CB

The spelling nazi's usually nab you for...
spelling “Iupati” as “Lupati”. His last name starts with an “i”, not an “L”.
ya I know it was an accident

Iupati or Wilson
I would rather grab Iupati for help on that line if we don’t get Okung in the first which is most likely. The offensive line is our biggest need on that side of the ball while corner is the weakest on the defensive side of the ball but at the end of the day, you have to make sure you protect your young guy and 42 million dollar guaranteed investment in Stafford. If Iupati’s there, which I doubt, they have to take him.
But I don’t think he’ll be their and I wouldn’t be mad if they got Wilson who can definitely be a starter in this league.

Like Matthews
Wilson for sure though. We need DBs and he has a serious upside and leadership quality.

I think Jahvid Best should be an option in the poll
or at least an “other” category.
I’d take Iupati or Wilson over Best, but I think both those guys will be gone in the 1st, and I’d take Best over Pouncey, Mays or Matthews
Hey that's a timeout, I can play right? yeah, get me--get the F-- Help me up...I can throw the ball if you need me to throw the ball...
No way I'd take Best over Matthews
That guy is going to be a beast!

Kyle Wilson, definitely.
We won’t need the O Linemen because we will have drafted Russell Okung at #3 [after our trade down with Tampa]. LOL
WTF we need Okung for?
Why take this guy so early? Pouncey is better. I voted for Wilson because he can start. Pouncey can start from day one also but I like Wilson if he is still there. If not, then we take Pouncey.
I agree....
…..Okung is overated in my mind

truer words were never spoken in this forum
we do this every year over hype the hell out of everyone and for every “BOZ” there is a Brian Cushing who lives up to or exceeds it.

Have you all seen the tape on Bruce Campbell?
That guy is a beast. He is a reach for the position we have in the draft.
and as lions fans this is the
equvelent of our play offs since we’ve had such a tough decade. We want every player to be the next HOF player at his position. LMAO

Look at it this way
If stafford is ever inducted it means we were pretty damn good team at one point.

Mays wouldn't be a "risk" at #34 ... doubt he'll fall that far
projected top 20-25 pick

hi, Mo!
5 minutes!!!
Not at all a risk
If we don’t take Berry and Mays is there in the second, they should seriously consider it.
Thank you DREW
Since I truly beleave we are going to take Kong at the #2 pick, If Mayes is there when we draft in the second round I don’t see how we can pass up that guy. It would be a better play out for me if we got Kong at #2 and Mayes at #34. Then this draft would be graded out as an A+ reguardless of who we draft after that, Cause I could see CB/G in the 3rd/4th round and CB being more than likely in the 3rd.
How many lumps you want Doc?
Mays won't be there
No way he gets out of Pete Carroll’s hands. He’ll take him with his 2nd pick if he’s not off the board.
Personally I’d rather have a different safety than him. I agree with the Roy Williams comparisons.
I agree we probably won't take Mays
Because Schwartz goes with “right” and “left” safeties instead of “strong” and “free”, they both have to be complete players against the run and the pass. If a guy is really powerful against the run but stiff in pass coverage, he could be a liability for us.
Maybe not though, but I think somebody who needs a traditional strong safety will value Mays much higher than we will, and he’ll go in the first round.
Hey that's a timeout, I can play right? yeah, get me--get the F-- Help me up...I can throw the ball if you need me to throw the ball...
Golden Tate Interview
I listened to an interview by Golden Tate (nfldraftbible.com). They asked him about his biggest hit… he said Mays hit him and he still felt it months later. Great interview and it made me think of Zack Folliets hits.
either taylor mays or Kyle Wilson be happy with either

I said Matthews...
I feel that he is the second best RB in the draft. All these guys would be great. I think Matthews brings more to the table, talent wise
if the shoe fits...get another one just like it - George Carlin
yeah he is
well rounded. some of these players aren’t gonna make it this far. i think Mathews is gone by then.

Im thinking Mount
Cody is going to San Diego. They have a need at NT now that Jamal Williams is gone. I don’t think they can pass on him.

good point about Williams....I just dont think their the same team w/o a running game

Wasnt San Deigo near the bottom in rushing atts last yr
I think they grab Cody ,or Brandon Spikes

I'm surprised Iupati is getting so many votes ... maybe it's just me, but I think he's overrated
assuming Suh in first AND assuming Mays falls that far, I’d be all over Mays without hesitation … that said, if OLine is a need, even for future, I’d prefer Pouncey (Chiefs fans would LOVE him at our 2A pick) or Anthony Davis (OT) of Rutgers, or Vladamir Ducasse (OG) of UMass, though Ducasse is a slight reach at #34

hi, Mo!
5 minutes!!!
yeah...I think it is his hair....What can I say...its beautiful
Plus Schwartz talked him up alot during the Senoir Bowl. That is where the love is coming from.

LOL @ hair
thing is, he got trashed and thrashed during the actual game …

(cut and paste from there)
1/31/10: While Mike Iupati was solid in run-blocking, he was completely abused in pass protection by Geno Atkins. Iupati was beaten numerous times, was called for holding once, and should have been whistled for holding two other times. Let’s not get carried away and call Iupati the best offensive lineman in the 2010 NFL Draft, like Mike Mayock did before the Senior Bowl. Iupati is a tremendous run-blocking guard who is raw in pass protection.

hi, Mo!
5 minutes!!!
That was when he was playing RG...
He got switched back to LG. And he was much better. I think he pancaked Dan Williams once. I could not tell.

well that's it ... I'm taking Williams off my "wish list"
besides, don’t have enough syrup to cover the guy

hi, Mo!
5 minutes!!!
glad to see.....
someone else noticed he played out of position. he even played some RT. maybe that was the plan? but i still said kyle wilson. as bad as the G situation is and has been, the CB situation i DIRE.
Iupati
wont be there i think the colts or steelers are going to get him so my vote is wilson. IMO Mays will be in seattle (carrol connection) or oakland (we al know al davis smokes crack) in the 1st rd i have yet to see wilson get into the 1st rd in any mocks i have seen..

Wonders how you produce 8 seasons of below .500 football and mange to keep your job as a gm.. here's 1 man wondering what kind of black mail Millen had on the Ford family.
by lionsfan_772 on Mar 11, 2010 1:11 AM EST up reply actions
I'm not sure he's so much overrated as...
maybe a little more raw than most teams would like. He’s had a few suspect games and he gets a little “grabby” when he gets beat, but he a mean, nasty player and gives good effort. I think with a little work on his feet and technique, he’s got fantastic upside. That’s why I think someone will nab him somewhere in the early second or even late first (Pittsburgh or Indy).
IMHO, I think with good preseason work, he could be ready to start by game one for most teams. Might take him a year or two to become a stud, but I think he has the potential. I DEFINITELY think he could be better as a rookie than either Loper or Ramirez.
I voted Ryan Matthews
I know our secondary sucks, but we need a legit running game
Rot in hell Matt Millen
I hear that ... and a good running game helps the passing game

hi, Mo!
5 minutes!!!
there will be good backs
in the 3rd and 4th rds gerhert and bell come to mind lets fix the d and protect/help the O 2nd….Defence wins championships and offenses puts fans in the stands. Wins = playoffs = suberbowls can not win games when you give up 40 points a game and the opposing QB’s look like HOF’s against us

Wilson is the pick for me
Possibly the second best CB in the draft, and we all know how much we need one. Iupati and Matthews would also be good choices but Wilson seems to provide the best value.
The Bringers of Hope: Stafford - Delmas - C. Johnson - Pettigrew - Levy - Hill - Schwartz
Zack Follett: he will hurt your mind.
Kyle Wilson
Best Player that fits at #34, and he gets the Schwartz love. The Lions’ vote is the only vote that matters.

The 313 Missile Squadron: Delmas, Berry, Wilson, Houston......seek and destroy!
Hey, as long as Zack Follett keeps hitting people, he can rap to Barney the Dinosaur for all I care.
My bad guy
I made a post very similiar to this. However, I don’t see ANY way that Kyle Wilson, Taylor Mays or Mike Iuptapi fall to us.
