What'll the Lions do for the rest of the draft?

Round 1: No. 2 overall - Ndamukong Suh...nuff said. Other than it kept me awake for a few extra minutes last night wondering if it was a racial slur to try and give him the nickname "The Kong." I mean, I meant it in the sense of "Huge unstoppable beast hellbent on mass destruction," but I fear it could be misconstrued...

Round 2: No. 34 overall - Daryl Washington, ILB, TCU - I have had Jahvid Best penciled in to this spot for several months now, but the recent trade of Ernie Sims for Tony Scheffler put a big wrench into those works. The trade leaves a huge hole at the weakside linebacker and also signifies the possibility of a lot more two tight end sets. Two tight end sets means a single back formation, which Best just isn't built for. The Lions have tons of needs, i.e. CB, DE, OT, S, and RB, so they could go a lot of different ways, but I really think they're going to try to fill that hole. As a side note, Gunther Cunningham, Lions defensive coordinator, was dropping hints about a player they think they can get in the second who they'll move to a new role. Many thought this meant a DE/OLB type player, it could just as easily be a move for an inside linebacker moving outside.

Round 3: No. 66 overall - Ben Tate, RB, Auburn. As stated above, the Lions will need an all around back that can carry the load with Kevin Smith in a single back set. Tate fits that bill. In this spot there are also still a lot of possiblities, most notably CB, S, and OT. Names to look out for are Parish Cox, CB, Jared Veldheer, OT (who I doubt drops this far) and Morgan Burnett, S.

Round 4: No. 100 overall - Major Wright, S, Florida. - Again, this fills a need. Wright has blazing speed and can play alongside developing star Louis Delmas. Other names that might be there are Mitch Petrus, G and Ciron Black, OT/G.

Round 7(a): No. 213 overall (from Seattle) - Jamar Wall, CB, Texas Tech. Finally, a cornerback? On the upside, the Lions have had Lito Shepard and Pac-Man Jones on speed dial for a couple weeks now, the position will not be completely ignored.

Round 7(b): No. 214 overall (from Cleveland) - Freddie Barnes, WR, Bowling Green. Not sure if he'd be there, but the guy did nothing but produce. 155 catches last year, who cares what system he's playing in! He'd be a great slot receiver and special teams guy.

Round 7 (c): No. 220 overall (from Denver) Trindon Holliday, WR, LSU - Ran a blazing 4.34 and is a return specialist, something the Lions haven't had for years.

Round 7(d): No. 255 overall (compensatory program) - Brett Swenson, K, MSU - How old is Jason Hanson? He's lost a lot on his kickoffs and he's been losing it on his accuracy for the last two years.
