I still think our best hope is that Detroit takes Monroe #1 and then tries to trade up to select Sanchez then. Sort of what Cleveland did to select take Quinn. That would leave us with the 20th and 33rd picks.

If by pick 20 the top 4 OTs (Smith, Monroe, Oher, Smith) and Rey are gone then I think we're just hurting ourselves cuz i don't really see any other talent at OT or LB that will come in a be an impact starter as a rookie (under the assumption Curry will be long gone). IMO it's a big risk to trade back from 13 in this talent-thin draft... but i'm really don't follow college ball much so what do I know. Just going off the "experts" out there like Kiper who for instance doesn't think much of this year's LB crop after Curry, Rey and possibly the other two USC studs Cushing and Matthews.

Eben Britton from Arizona should be there at 20.

Yeah I think you're right. I've heard/read this kid works his tail off. Also think i heard he's got the shortest arms some analysts have seen on a guy his size.

Also at around 20 we could take Duke Robinson(OKLA), William Beatty(Uconn), Unger(Oregon) or Alex Mack(Cal).
