As far as trade down value, when was the last time you saw a top 5 pick traded? The amount a team has to give up is unreal.

I still really want Suh, but doubt it'll happen. Okung would be a great consolation.

Last year? Browns traded their pick to the Jets so they could take Sanchez.

I think the second scenario is a likelihood. Before, when we were playing well, it looked like we weren't going to pick high enough to land Okung. Now, we could be picking third or fourth, and I'd imagine that only Suh, Clausen, and Berry would come off the board prior to our pick.

I dunno it seems like every year a team is willing to go LT in the top 2 picks...from what I understand Okung is the only awesome LT talent. I would think he goes fast.

The rams are most definately selecting between Clausen and Okung.

If that's the case I think they take Clausen.

Detroit's offensive line was actually pretty good this year, but what they see is what they get in Jeff Backus. Detroit has their hands full trying to develop Matt Stafford from scratch, and Calvin Johnson's development into an all time great seems far fetched at this point. I think Detroit is going to end up leaning on their current line while they rebuild the defense.

There are still three HUGE factors left in the draft 1. The remaining bowl games 2. The Combine 3. Players Pro Days

There is always that player or two that has a awesome combine & pro day & some don't have go showings.

Your absolutly correct. Some will advance others will drop. Usually though the top 3-4 players are still the top 3-4 players. They might shuffle spots but they stay up there. Unless there is a character question. Anyone got dirt on the players we are looking at? Don't let it out too soon though, you don't want the news to get a head of steam and fizzle out prior to draft day. You want it to show up right around pro day and let it fester so other teams get scared about the draftee. :)

Start digging boys.

Let's be honest, we have way to many holes on this team to focus on one player. If can pick as high as 3rd, I think we should trade down. I don't any standout qb's in this draft. I know a lot of people like Sam Bradford and Jimmy Clausen. To me, neither one of these guys are the second coming of Peton Manning. I think both of them will be good, but not great.

As far as Okung, I think he's going to be a great player. But he's not the only great OT in this draft. I can name at least 3 guys that's going to be pretty solid. If I was Allen, I would trade down and aquire more picks. I want all of y'all to remember we build a good offense a great OL. Right now, it's nothing great about this OL. So we need more than just one player.
