Something to chew on that we got Mayo with the 10th pick. Mayo is a better and more versatile LB than Laurinaitis. The reason I post this is as the next few years go by ... Mayo will prove to have been a top 5 talent along with both Longs, Dorsey and Ellis.

Here's Fox Sports 2009 for the heck of it ... there are others of course.

I also notice there are a number of LB's at the top of next years draft.
Gerald McRath ... Southern Miss
Sean Lee ... Penn
Derry Beckwith ... LSU
Brian Cushing ... USC
Brandon Spikes ... Florida
Rey Maualuga ... USC


All projected 1st rounders.
There will be a run next year ... looks that way right now anyways.

Wow, this guy loves Ohio State huh?

Not that this even justifies saying but...there's no way Laurinaitis would ever be that high a pick. I'm a buckeye fan myself, and I see NO way he could ever be taken that high. If you think Gholston dissappears in games - watch the national championship and look for number 33. You'll find him...missing a ton of tackles and being in the wrong spot.

Talk about your **** drafts.

Rey going at 31? Yet Lil Animal goes 1?

F that. I love Animal and he wouldnt go number 1 to save his life.

Well, Rey might be a Lil' Animal, but James Laurinaitis literally is.

Malauga will go top 15 next year, my bet is Lauranitis slips. He's only high now as he's a senior - he was falling down a lot of boards before he went back to school

Likelihood is we'll back at 25-32 and looking at OL or S maybe

I disagree with some of these comments, I think if Laurinitis is there, we would have picked him at #7. I think right now, he's a better ILB fit for us than Mayo, Mayo has 1 year experience on the inside. Don't get me wrong, I love the Mayo pick, but let's not degrade Laurinitis just because we picked Mayo.

Lb seems like that would be a need again next year, so that's nice there are so many rated that high. But BB will do whatever he wants and you can't predict it.
