When I posted this the other day he was ranked 5th at Guard position, since then he has moved up to 2nd and ranked 72nd best player in the nation....did anyone by chance get to hear the interview he did with NFL radio on Monday with Pat Kerwin and Tim Ryan? It was a real nice 20 minute interview........

"• Michigan connections: From Michigan State, Kiper sees running back Javon Ringer as a small but tough player going in the fourth or fifth round and safety Otis Wiley as "more of a later-round type guy." Kiper called Eastern Michigan offensive guard T.J. Lang a "versatile kid" who could go in the third or fourth round. " Freep.com

I think Stafford or Jason Smith #1 (If NOT Stafford, Lions don't draft a QB first round).

2nd 1st round pick? Don't really have a good read.

OSU's LB Larinitis maybe 1st pick of 2nd round.

T.J. to Lions in 3rd IF AND ONLY IF they do NOT take an OT in the 1st round.

If Jeff Backus moves to OG (becaused they drafted Jason Smith) then the Lions won't draft T.J. as an OG.

Kiper has him goimg 3rd round to Buffalo.

Nope. I was simply posting a well wish toward him.

I assume the Lions like him as a guard.

Really nice article.

I can see him going with the 1st pick in the 3rd round IF Lions get some help on defense with the 20th pick in round 1 and their 2nd round pick.

I can easily see: QB, DT, LB, and OG in that order.

I think the draft sets up nice for T.J.

Lions draft a QB and a in-line blocking TE and a G would also be nice.

Trying to help the OT out.

I didn't see the latter part of the 2nd round so I don't know Mel Kiper's top 10 available for the 3rd round today.

The Lions are on the clock and have what 12 hours to get the 1st pick today correct. They get first shot at anyone who slid yesterday but should not have.
