Megatron just got Minitron to go with him.

I like this pick a lot, now figure out how to protect your quarterback.

Lol @ Minitron

You know, they've gotten better over time at the OL. They could use some depth, and I expect them to add a few depth guys in the coming rounds (OLB and OL).

I like this pick too...I'm not loving it, but I like this pick

My best remaining potential left tackles are DeMarcus Love, Ben Ijalana, and Chris Hairston, of which, only Hairston has the look of a left tackle.

Did you pay attention to Jeff Backus last season, once the Lions actually put a football player next to him (Sims) instead of a turnstile? I can only recall Julius Peppers beating Backus clean once, and that's for the season. Now, I'm sure I'm missing another play or three, but the point remains the same. Left Tackle is not the problem, the problem is on the other side.

Titus Young ends the Derrick Williams project, for one. With Burleson playing well, Young won't be asked to do too much too soon, we all know the learning curve most receivers need to adjust to the pro level.
