With the 23rd pick in the 2012 NFL draft...

Funny about Glenn, I have read some scouting reports that call him an elite pass blocker, and that his weakness is his run blocking. And I have read the exact opposite. If Adams is not available, I would like to see the Lions take Glenn. He seems to be an excellent fit for a Guard in the Lions system, and he could serve as a back up for the Tackles too.

Olineman joining an NFL team are, imo, usually more effective than db’s, at first. You get more olineman during the draft, and develope who you have or get a free agent db. This may be most effective for a team that is close to what is needed to make a strong push in the playoffs, or possibly get to the sb.

Thinking back to the last few years, I don’t remember but a handful of times we had succussful runs up the middle, and Konz would open the playbook up more by allowing us to do that. My second choice would be Glenn. IMO, he would be an immediate upgrade over Peterman. Either way, we can’t lose. I think that the other positions are more of a crap shoot and would not follow Mayhew’s BPA approach. Just my two cents.

Most mocks have Konz going after the Lions but I have seen a couple with him going before our pick at 23. We definitely need to find our next starting center and get him in here to learn from Raiola before his career is over. Konz appears to be a dominate center that anyone would want at the next level. Still I am not sure the Lions will value Konz as BPA at the 23 spot. Still there are some good centers availalbe later in the draft. If we could get Adams or Martin in the first round and a Brewster or Jones in the 3-4 we could really start the rebuilding of this line.

No obvious flaws? It took me less than 5 minutes to find scouting reports that give some flaws. Oddly, one flaw cited a lot was his size. They said he was too tall for a center and would have trouble getting low with Pro sized DTs.

The biggest whole in the offense is an inability to run up the middle.

But thats only cause I think Glenn will be gone. I’d rather have Cordy at 23.

Take Cordy Glann in the first round and then follow that with either Ben Jones or Mike Brewster in round 3. I like Konz, but I think he is not all that much better then Jones or Brewster. There is a lot of Konz hype that is blowing him up bigger and badder than he really is.

let me point out one think that people need to look at with Konz. He has missed game in both of the last two seasons with injuries. Ben Jones and Mike Brewster do not have the same injury problems that Konz had. While Konz is a more complete player, both Jones and Brewster are very fine players in their own right.

There had been a LB option in there. More importantly, and I know I’m in the minority on this issue, a RB that can pound and stay healthy. Now maybe Mikel will be that, I’m not sold on Best being what we drafted ever again. Say all you want about our O line or D needs, what hurts our offense the most is the run game. How potent would Staff be if they DIDN’T know he was going to throw 90% of the time? But, out of the choices presented – Jenkins.

I’d take Nick Perry or Whitney Mercilous over 4 of the 6 guys on that list.

I would rather have any of the three Martin, Adams and Glenn and then grab Ben Jones or Brewster Later. I just think if we go that route we will get more in return. I really like Jones the guy is a monster

You take him. Same with Dre Kirkpatrick. The other four on the poll aren’t in that league.
