Yeah, I was hoping you'd participate Alen, but it should be fun to watch too. I hope you enjoy watching it play out.

Be sure and comply with minor labor laws in your state...

I could make the Lions pick now since I am 100% sure the Rams will not be taking my pick. But I'll check back in a few hours and make it official.

Please DO NOT pick ahead of the team in front of you. Please wait your turn.

When it's your turn, please make your pick in the *** ThePHINS.com 2010 NFL Mock Draft -- Round #1 *** thread.

Thank you,

G

I guess anything is possible VMF. But yeah, I honestly think if they can come to terms on a contract, they take Bradford.

JMHO...

yup just because this QB class is not very good.

I think Bradford goes to Rams as well if deal gets done

I will be shocked if the Rams don't take Bradford.

At the end of the day I dont see the Rams spending the first overall pick on a injury prone QB wwho has question marks outside of the injuries. If they do go QB its more to placate the fans and owner then do whats best for the team. Spagnola knows defense and by drafting Suh, you get to either pair him with Carriker or have Carriker swing out to DE where he's probably better suited. Having a disruptive force in the middle is invaluable. I just dont see how you pass on a hall of fame prospect to pick an injury prone QB who ran a gimmick offense and doesnt have the strongest arm.

Valid points for sure. However the Rams passed on Matt Ryan in 2008 and then they passed on Mark Sanchez in 2009. Do you really believe they will pass on Matthew Stafford in 2010? How long can they continue to ignore the QB position?

Big Red has been messaged he is up...

Okay about a month ago most would have hated this pick but a lot of mocks have come around to the idea that the Lions really need to upgrade their offensive line if they are to get max value from their most recent top offensive draft picks.

Over the past three years the organization has drafted only three offensive linemen, two of them remain with the team. And those linemen, OT Cherlius and OG Ramirez have yet to prove they are capable starters. While Jeff Backus had a good year in 2009 he will be 33 and I believe they cannot risk the shoulders of their franchise QB Stafford if he were to regress into the player he was in 2007-08. Because Backus is capable of playing LG he can certainly help both mentor a player like Okung and improve the guard play, which was poor by any standards in 2009.

With Suh off the board this became a much easier pick though some will still question the value. I personally have a hard time thinking of paying a DT top 5 money but for Suh I might have had to bite the bullet. With so much emphasis placed on defensive upgrades this off-season I fully expect the Lions to at least give going OT strong consideration in the real draft.

Anyone else find it funny that G Man broke his own rule by posting in the official draft while giving congrats to someone else? Kind of Ironic :-)

A shame this seems to be GM league only, but I look forward to the results.
