2012 NFL Mock Draft: Another Lineman To Consider For Lions

I’ll be the first one to predict this:

Round 1) Jonathan Martin – Tackle (who will drop out the top 20)

Round 2) Doug Martin – RB Boise St.

Round 3) Mike Martin – DT Michigan

There’s no way he slides out of the first round… and no way does he fall past the Lions if he’s there!!

STAFFORD!!!!
Ok, no bearing whatsoever on Cordy Glenn, except that perhaps Mayhew and his scouts have a feel for the way they coach there and their overall philosophy.

Mayhew and Co. proved last year with the Nick Fairley pick that they go by the BPA approach in round 1. But boy oh boy, is it time to focus on one side of the ball. I wouldn’t mind an entire draft for Gunther’s side of the ball.

Fix that secondary or the Lions aren’t going anywhere even with their tremendous offense.

Not a great evaluator of talent here or anything, but I don’t think we’d be getting anything special at LT. He’s a beast of a guard, but tackle he was a little inconsistent. That said, he was playing it for the first time, so he was bound to have some growing pains.

He could not handle Jerel Worthy, who is a beast but there are a lot of beasts in the NFL.

this is a business. I know as educated fans we’d all like to see players drafted that fill gaps and solidify depth at needed positions. But, even going with BPA we still have to realize that the front office is running a business. And I’m sure that like many I wouldn’t run out and buy a Cordy Glenn Jersey :-(

No disrespect to the young man or others that are talented prospects, but marketability is a factor right or wrong.

We have a great offense that will sell tickets and get time slots that we have never been offered before. The Fords recognize that and want to see the FO continue to build on that.

Suh is the face of the defense and he’s helping to boost our brand, but anything that can raise his fame or that of CJ is what it will be about in the first round and not simply talent or a need.

After that, Schwartz and the other coaches will get their people.

Just my opinion, but I think we need to take marketability of that first pick into consideration with the machine that is the NFL and the success that we had last year.

Go Lions!!!
