With the 2nd pick in the draft the Detroit Lions select ... ?

I gotta warn you dude. to make this vote fair around here you better add Eric Berry.

and please, please, please … comment a lot!

you know that but as weeks go on I just feel like Suh is the more likley pick I also love the boy named Suh. I have been torn for months now over this but my gut says when the Lions are on the clock if Suh is there we will take him. Berry will be option number 2.

careful comparing Mayhew to Millen… you might end up in a dumpster some where in south detroit for doing that shit

He will make all of the current signings that much better! I hope he fall to 2 and Bradford goes 1. Seriously a great DL will help all of the defense. An improved defense will take a lot of pressure of Stafford and the O.

and then a CB at 34, RB/LG at round 3

I hope they can trade down with Bradford- I would take Okung with pick 3 or 4 and hopefully pick up a 2nd or 3rd round pick for allowing someone to move up! As much as I would love to see Berry and Delmas together in the secondary, I think the next best move for the Lions is to improve the OLine.

It’s really simple, if the Lions follow the same approach they did a year ago than they take the Best Player Available approach. I don’t think you can name a team in which Suh isn’t on top of their draft boards at this point of the offseason.

I have Berry graded right up their with Suh however if he is gone but it is in our best interest to trade down and add more talent especially with so many QB hungry teams slated in the top ten wanting to grab one of the two QBs and if STL goes that direction…calls are gonna start piling up on Schwartz and Co. to move up ahead of Redskins to grab the last elite QB.

Back to Suh, the reason behind this pick is you have to finish the job on that defensive line. Adding Vanden Bosch and Corey Williams is just one step in improving this defense. Corner may be the thinnest of our positions on that defense but I like the recent moves made and we shouldn’t have a problem landing another prospect in round 2 or via another trade by Mayhew. Adding Suh will make that defense that much more flexible and Gunther can then utilize his blitzes the way he wanted to a year ago but was limited due to lack of talent along that entire defense.

Plus, having a good linemen rotation will give that secondary the extra second they need to get in position and not have to cover for periods of 10 to 15 seconds like they were forced to do for most part of the year. I don’t care who your corners are, giving the QB all day to throw isn’t the way to go and that is the argument against taking Berry even thought he would be our 2nd option.

Hope this helps.

I like our current LB core with Julian Peterson and Sims on the outsides with DeAndre Levy manning the middle taking over Larry Foote.

However, I hate that big contract of Peterson’s and wouldn’t be surprised if the Lions trade him away for a middle round pick or might end up releasing him depending on the type of money they pay their top pick.

But as of now, I think it’s the strongest position on our thin defense even though it lacks depth. It’s the least of my worries at this point as behind that secondary, the next concerns has to be on offense especially on the Offensive Line and maybe another running back or receiver but other then that, it’s not too bad of a lineup.

At #2 Suh is my first choice. He would give us some great depth on the interior of our D Line and turn what was one of our weaker units into a strength. This would really help our weak secondary as well.
Okung would be my second choice, barely nosing out McCoy. I would only take Okung if Backus could be successfully shifted to Left Guard. If not, go with McCoy.

At #34 I would hope that Devin McCourty, the third best CB, is still available. If he is gone, Jahvid Best RB to work in tandem with Kevin Smith…….or replace him if he does not fully recover from his knee injury. I like Nate Allen S if those are gone or even Rodger Saffold T/G.

Thanks for asking!

but dont tell GRLion I said that….

Is what number will Suh wear now that KVB has got #93

I voted Suh, but if he’s gone then Eric Berry. They’re both once-in-a-decade prospects, I’d be happy if the Lions got either one of them.
As for #34, if any of these players are available-
Kyle Wilson/Devin McCourty
Ryan Matthews/Jahvid Best
Mike Iupati
Brandon Graham
Sean Weatherspoon

you guys must be sad children, if you guys knew lions have about worst o-line in the league. not giving push for the run or enough time for the qbs to find an open receiver and with jeff backus like 32 now and he hasnt been that great in the first place. Peppers is with the bears now lol he would man handle backus period. picking berry over a super stud o-line with the condition of lions o-line wowzor not to mention no left guard and peterman isnt very good of a RG either basicly need to spend one seasons picks on an o-line qbs are nothing without a good o-line same with rbs

let stafford get a career ending injury than see how you feel besides he would do much with so much pressure from both parts LT LG of the blind side lol

How many times are we gonna post the same topic? Can nobody think about anything else to talk about besides who the second pick will be? How about our second round pick? Third round?

I’m very surprised that Kdawg and Grlion have not spoke up to you as of yet. They are both very big Berry fans as well. But again I think they would be just as happy with Suh (KING/Donkey) KONG

The way I see, I think the overall value, talent and potential is the strongest with him at #2. Berry provides great potential and talent, but the value isn’t as strong. Okung presents great value but the talent and potential may not be as strong and McCoy has potential and value, but might not be as talented as Suh.

At #34, well, that all depends on who is available and who we picked before. I say go with your own personal rankings of players and pick who you think is the Best avaliable at either G, OT, RB, WR, DT, DE, CB, S.
