While it’s always interesting to see who a team brings in for a visit, I agree that this tells us very little about who the Lions will draft. Bringing in enough prospects to cover all scenarios is simply due diligence. Mayhew could plan on taking Suh or McCoy at #2 but if a great trade offer comes around, he has to be confident that he’d get someone he wants at a lower spot, possibly Okung. Or he could be contemplating Okung at #2. We don’t know and aren’t likely to know until St. Louis makes up their minds.

That he is our pick. Any farmers out there willing to bet me?

Question is – will we be able to move down a couple spots, and also pick up other picks…That would be gravy.

As good as Suh is, Okung is looking like the right choice, even at #2. We can’t let Stafford get hurt again…

Suh: Upgrades our line but then why are we making so many upgrades if M&M were looking to draft him. Suh could be a domiant force for years to come a Sapp or White type of player, beware the team that passes up Suh

Okung: Protects a 70 million dollar investment that showed last year it’s worth protecting. Let’s not dance around the LT talk anymore Detroit fans have been talking about this for almost 3 years. Making Okung the pick and moving Backus to LG improves us greatly, when was the last time we had a O-line to open running lanes and protect the QB, maybe late 90’s

McCoy: Same size as Suh not as strong in the upper body but have you seen this guy’s trunck, I wish they would of Sqatted 300lbs for reps because his legs and hips are thick. Might be a bit more explosive than Suh but won’t be able to bull through double teams and domiant the line like Suh could.

Berry: Center field wrecking ball that woud strike fear in the hearts of men nough said.

Those are my arguements for those 3 guy’s we could draft what our your thoughts

But, there is still a long way to go.

First it was Suh vs. McCoy. These were the “Flavors of the Month”, the only choices allowed, and all dissent was trampled on.
Then McCoy fell on his face (as I predicted), and that talk died down.

Now it’s Suh vs. Okung. The media hype machine rolls on like a giant tidal wave. They are this month’s "Flavors of the Month, the only choices allowed, and once again, any dissent gets trampled on. Didn’t we learn our lesson with McCoy? Didn’t we learn our lesson from all the previous years of draft hype?

The Rams have had their own version of the “Flavor of the Month”. A couple months ago, when the vast majority in the media didn’t think the Rams would draft a QB at #1, I said that one of the QB’s, either Clausen or Bradford, would get more media attention as the draft drew nearer and vault to the top of the mock drafts. We seem to be nearing that point now.

"I would like to record something here, on February 24th . . . " Schefter said. “All of a sudden — it’ll be about a month from now — we’ll start hearing, ’Wow. Would and could the Rams take with the number one overall pick Sam Bradford?”
Schefter was wrong in one respect. It didn’t even take a month for the tide to turn.
“I notice that Sam Bradford is not in their top five,” Schefter said of Kiper and McShay’s Mocks back then. “I can promise you that’s wrong. I can promise you that’s wrong.”
Well, Bradford is in their top-five now. And Schefter’s comments that sounded so surprising a few weeks ago are now accepted as conventional wisdom.
That says a lot about the groupthink, guesswork, and superficiality that defines a lot of draft coverage.

The players didn’t change…….just the media’s opinion of them. The “Flavor of the Month” tastes like Mel Kiper’s hair. No, thanks.
