RATED as top prospect and PROJECTED as #1 are not necessarily the same thing. If Detroit, or whoever eventually ends up with that first pick, does not need an OL it could be someone else.

That said, he very well could be #1 overall, which begs the question WHO was the last #1 overall from Bama?

 

[imported_RollTideRandy]

He will not be the #1 pick because Detroit MUST take a QB. I'm guessing Stafford will be the #1 pick but it may be Sanchez, Daniels, or Harrell.

 

[Argo]

Are there any rumors of Detroit possibly trading down for a proven QB??

Smartest guy in the draft: Mark Sanchez.

Smartest guy that could have been in the draft, isn't even gonna be there. Instead, he's going to Oxford, and no, I ain't talking about Mississippi. :wink:

Speaking of Oxford, I was surprised Hardy didn't make the jump.

Chase Daniels will not get drafted until day 2, if then.

I hear you, Tim, but it's true Hardy fashion--never know from week to week if he's gonna show up or not.

Mel Kiper didn't have him in his top 5, let alone #1

QB Harry Gilmer was our only overall #1 in 1948 for the Redskins. Other notable high selections...

Derrick Thomas was the fourth pick in '89. Cornelius Bennett was #2 in '87. Jon Hand was #4 in '86. E.J. Junior was #5 in '81. Barry Krauss was #6 in '79. Richard Todd was #6 in '76. Wilbur Jackson was #9 in '74. John Hannah was #4 in '73.

It's interesting that Bama had no players selected in the top ten during the 60's.

Possibly the greatest decade of football by any team, ever.

QB wise, watch out for Bomar.

 

[Kirk Van de Graaff]

Chris Samuels was a number 3 pick.

Sometimes deals are in place in the draft that have one team picking a player so they can trade with another team. The Lions need to draft a whole new team. Don't know how they could do that.

 

[Swamptick]

Shaun Alexander was drafted 19th overall in 2000. That is fairly high.

 

[HIGHTIDES]

I've heard that Detroit may try and get 2 offensive linemen as their first 2 picks... with Smitty being the first overall taken. Basically, what good is a qb (Stafford especially) if you can't protect him.

Winner, Winner. Chicken Dinner.
Circle gets the Square.
Thanks Scott.

Heard from who?

The reservation that I have about drafting two OL first is that this is akin to starting two Freshmen in College. You can't expect success year one. They may have potential, but for now they are rookies that are protecting the QB that you secured after you burned your two first picks.

My question is how smart will the pick be with the new personnel folks?

I hope Andre is picked #1 and gets more money than he knows what to do with...and spends his whole career in Detroit. He may be about to become an extremely wealthy young man, but he's played on his last winning team.
