Alex Mack is a stud, and should be a late first round pick, I know it wont happen but I would love for the Lions to take a flyer on him.
ReplyDeleteDuke Robinson is an absolute monster, he was terrible in the national title game, but can push just about anybody of the line of scrimmage in the run game.
