I contemplated taking Smith as well, but in the end, there's way too many red flags to throw that kind of money at somebody who has already flaked out. Oher was the safer pick.

Mother****er.

Jenkins would have been gone at #10 if Orakpo wasn't available.

Rock and a hard place. I'm not a big fan of taking running backs with really high selections. The Bucs just signed Derrick Ward, so they don't have a gaping hole at running back any more. A tandem of Ward and Graham could be serviceable, as you can't count on a broken down Cadillac for anything.

The Bucs have glaring needs at QB, DT, OLB, and WR

Obviously Tampa needs a quarterback. They tried to make a deal for Cutler, but that fell through. Josh Freeman is a great specimen in shorts and a T-shirt, but I've seen him play in the Big XII, and I'm not exactly thrilled.

Larry English is a possibility at end, but he reminds me too much of Tamba Hali.

Percy Harvin would be a good compliment to Antonio Bryant, but he comes from a spread offense, is on the small side, and has durability concerns.

Louis Delmas doesn't really fit the mold of a Cover 2 safety.

Peria Jerry is going to be a 25 year old rookie, he has major injury and intelligence issues, and he has the Sims/Peppers question given the presence of Greg Hardy on his college line.

Vontae Davis is another intriguing possibility, but he was less than impressive at the Combine, which is shocking given that was supposed to be the area where he would excel, given his lack of solid intangibles. There are a lot of Cover 2 corners that could be had later in the draft

In the end, I'm going to take the guy who I think is Larry Johnson without character problems.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers select Chris "Beanie" Wells, RB, The Ohio State University

I like Malcolm Jenkins but not as a CB.

Damn, where are all the picks today?

Waiting on OTW to get out of class.

I wonder if OTW will channel his inner Millen and take a WR?

Cool, thanks. That's a cool yellow submarine picture.

It's in tribute to all of the "meanies" running around on CP. :)

The Lions badly need O Linemen (well, actually everything). Are there any good tackles available here?

He could go with Ebon Britton out of Arizona. I'm not too sure if he's worth a mid first rounder though.

Thanks. OTW has it pretty easy, though, as you can take BPA at any position here and upgrade the Lions. :)

Well his pick will decide my pick for the Eagles.

The Lions were hoping to have Oher or Smith fall to them at 20, but they are still in a great spot to get the BPA, and it also be at a position of need.

Yeah, he didn't have the best combine, but the Lions are no longer basing their opinions on what a guy does in a t-shirt and shorts in February. This kid has the perfect combination of size and speed, and will be a great addition to the Lions defensive backfield.

With the 20th pick, the Lions select:

Vontae Davis, CB, Illinois
