Im hoping we can trade down a few picks and take a stud MLB, hopefully Maualuga, only as long as we can get a left tackle with our next pick who is still a major upgade over Backus. Yeah it would be nice to get a bunch of picks, but this team, especially defense, needs playmakers. If we can get Maualuga, we now have our "Urlacher" and "Briggs" (Sims), if you get my point. I knew our D was really bad, but after yesterdays game, ive never seen a worse defense in my life, IN MY LIFE. Just a thought. No QB. What do you think? Maualuga is very overrated I wouldnt want him till our 5th YEAH? I'm sure he'll still be hanging around in the 5th round. NOT!!!!

Think he meant 5th pick for us. Anyways, I agree with him. Don't USC players usually fail in the Pros? I guess it's sorta like 'system' QB's there with all the players because I remember something on TV stating how most of the players aren't good pros.

Though some have, you DEFINETLY cant base your drafting of a player based on the schools past players who played in the NFL. Besides, what about Carson Palmer and Troy Palamalu?

True. I think the Ohio State mlb is better than Rey personally. Either way, either one would be an upgrade to what we have. Isn't Dizon a MLB? I would like to see him get a shot before we draft another one though. There is many wholes to fix so.

USC produces a ton of NFL talent. Some good, a lot bad, but most of the 1600 players that try and enter the draft don't make it anyway.

I believe I said I wouldn't want him till our 5th because he is overrated.

I can't wait for the Capital One Bowl so I can see this " can't miss " QB prospect everyone is touting as the next Brett Favre. Seeing is believing. If he is the real deal I will jump on board and say the Lions should draft him.

Without an O-line, he wont do anything, its STILL that simple and itll never change.

Quote: No matter what, I still wont get board. Without an O-line, he wont do anything, its STILL that simple and itll never change. True. But you're acting like you can't build an oline without top picks. There are many good/great offensive lines that don't have ANY first round draft picks on them.

True, But, those O-lines were built by other teams. This is the Lions were talking about.
