The 20th and 33rd for the 9th would seem pretty fair, although I can image the Lions trying to get as much early picks as they can to adress their tons of needs.

Having the 1st and 9th picks are pretty safe though when it comes to quality. It would be tempting to lose one pick to guarantee two starters. I still wouldn't draft a QB and wait until next year, but who knows what the brass in Detroit are thinking?

Would either one consider Brohm as part of a trade? A number of teams were high on him after his junior year. Is he as good or better than what's in the draft? I know he didn't look good in pre season, but ... who knows.

The fact that Brohm found himself behind Matt Flynn and Flynn was terrible when Aaron was hurt is not good news to me when it comes to possibly trading him. Hopefully being the third-stringer with motivate him.

Boys, I was thinking more on the lines of Carolina sending us JPeppers, and their first for the ninth pick. If anyone watched Delomme chuck up all those picks against Arizona, he would know that they need a QB badly.

That would be an offer we couldn't refuse.

Coming from fans where Favre is a legend it seems odd for me to read that statement. Sure Jake had a lousy game when it mattered, but he did have a pretty solid season coming back from surgery. I remember the commentators at that game suggesting that the Cards knew the Panthers play calls. I sure looked like it and when you get behind in a desperate game it can get ugly pretty quick.

Maybe I just don't respect many of the QBs in this draft, but I really don't see Sanchez and Stafford being all that special at the NFL level for teams to pay first round money for them. I am more intrigued with Chase Daniel and Rhett Bomar. I think Chase would make a great CFL QB, and then make the move to the NFL like Jeff Garcia.

I like where we are sitting in this draft. I will take a wild guess and say that there are probably two guys he would take that could still be there(the obvious players will be gone).

Raji and Andre the Giant. If either are there my guess is he will jump on them. Two reasons. They are WORTH the #9 pick and we need linemen on both sides of the ball.

IF both of these guys are gone my guess is he will seek a trade partner and move back to take a player like Peria Jerry around #20 where he would be positioned at about the right value and we could add picks.

The question becomes do you gamble a little and hope Orakpo or Brown are what they look like they are even though they really haven't played the position we will ask them to or back down and take a safer player down lower?

I personally would have no problem moving back for a player like Jerry and ending up with six picks in the top 85 or so. I would think moving back ten or eleven spots would earn at least another second and third round, especially if the second was lower than what we have now.

There's some juiciness in the first part of round two.

I think both of them are gone by #9.

Have some concerns about Orapkos knees so, I hope GB doesn't spend a 39 on him.

They made a good point about Orakpo compared to Gholston.

I'm sticking with Raji, like I said earlier. I hope he gets passed on by the Bengals, or even the Browns if they can't keep their NT.

I took Raji but if I was to choose again I would go with other and take Brian Cushing. Guy has a good work ethic and would work well as another OLB.

I am going to leave it to you weekend warriors and put this last post in.

IF Raji is not there I would try to find a trade partner and go after Perry later around 18 or 20. That is unless the first 8 teams buy into this crap about Andre Smith. If he's there you JUMP on it. The kid is clean and never had an attitude or work ethic problem. That comes from Saban who tolerates nothing but full effort.

Perry was hurt for awhile and his numbers were a little down but the kid is quick, plays with the same motor all game long, and I challenge that Raji could do in the South East conference what Perry has done. He's played against the Florida's, Georgia's, LSU's etc, and that is definately better competition than Raji had to face.

He's flying under Raji's radar by far but I would be fine backing up and getting this kid on the roster.
