Isn't Burleson more of a slot than Titus?  Most of the times I remember Young being targeted last year were on deep balls.  He's like a poor man's Desean Jackson in my mind.  Hopefully the added O-line depth creates some semblance of a run game, because we're going to need to score more than Oregon if we want to beat the Packers and Saints (oh wait... just the Packers).

Back-to-back picks in the early third round.  Interesting, I did not know of this.  Wonder how they waste them...

I don't understand why Martin Mayhew spends high picks on players that have had serious injuries in the past. Jahvid Best after that major concussion and now Ryan Broyles after his ACL injury. Best's concussion has come back to bite him in the ass, yet he stilll goes and does it again.

Spoiler boy asks Polian what to what to do in the 3rd round, then after his answer, turns and say "Mort?" and Mortensen say "who, me?" or something mumble like, so he throws it back to Boomer throwing his hands in the air, but the camera doesn't switch, he leans in to talk to Mort, but stops when he sees they haven't switched shots, and it lingers for like 30 seconds till they get to the main crew.

When they just showed those Posey highlights against us when Ohio wore those all red jerseys, I honestly had to think about who we played in those clips until I realized it was Ohio.

The draft isn't the only way to fill needs in the offseason.  I am a firm believer in taking best available over a need, especially in the later rounds.  I'm guessing that all the players available at CB just weren't very well thought of by the Lion's scouts, and if thats the case they made the right move in not reaching for them.  At least it wasn't a defensive tackle.
