The Lions still have a huge need at OT, CB, and HB. This pick will determine if we get Albert or not.

Albert is best available. Best player in the draft and the best guard who be a nice start to the draft.

There won't be a significant holdout this year. This is the most important draft in decades, and they aren't going to screw it up with that kind of BS, especially not after the Allen trade.

Will this start a run or will someone trade up to land the first CB/WR/S on the board early?...

Briefly comparing the remaining 2 OL's
Jeff Otah
OT | (6'6", 322, 5.56) | PITTSBURGH Overall: Otah was born in Nigeria, came to the United States when he was seven years old and did not play organized football until his senior season of high school. He attended Valley Forge (Pa.) Military College in his first two years out of high school (2004-'05), making 17 consecutive starts at left tackle. He also averaged nearly 19 points and 12 rebounds for the Valley Forge basketball team. Otah transferred to Pitt in 2006 and made an immediate impact, starting all 24 games of his junior and senior seasons with the Panthers. He was an All-Big East first team selection in 2007. The Nigerian-born Otah lacks ideal playing experience and is still unpolished. While he is not a great athlete, he is not as slow as his combine workout numbers might indicate, as he participated despite an ankle injury. Otah is a massive mauler with the size, power and ... For complete overview, strengths and weaknesses, login above or become an Insider. Branden Albert OG | (6'5", 309, 5.169) | VIRGINIA Overall: Albert started all 37 of Virginia's games during his three-year career (2005-07), including two at offensive tackle in 2007. He allowed just one sack and received an All-ACC honorable mention in 2006. He was a first-team All-ACC selection in '07. Bottom line: Albert needs to improve his power at the point of attack and learn to get under defenders' pads. He also is a bit inconsistent when it comes to hitting the moving target as a second level run blocker. However, he is a massive guard with very good short-area quickness and tenacity. He could possibly move to ROT in the NFL but we think he fits best inside at guard, where he should quickly develop into an upper-echelon starter. He could be the top interior offensive lineman selected in 2008 draft no later than the second round.
