Petersen might be on the decline, but he's still better than anyone the Lions currently have at LB, except MAYBE Sims. I'm all for them taking an OT at #1. It'd be nice if they could trade down and grab some more picks, but I think it unlikely that anyone in the top 5, or maybe even 10, is going to be moving around much. I like the idea of them picking up another OL at #20 (if you're going to completely rebuild the o-line is a good place to start), or maybe a DB if there's anyone worth the pick still left.
Maybe it's me, but I like what I've seen from Pat White. He can move and he can throw. He's undersized (6 ft, 190), but so's Drew Brees. White's won four bowl games, (Sugar, Gator, Fiesta and Meineke.. a throwaway, but he still had a hell of a game), and his mobility would be a big asset behind a young offensive line. If he's available at pick 33, I wouldn't be upset with that pick at all. I think Culpepper could have a decent year, but he's definitely not a long term solution.

Where would we be without the agitators of the world attaching the electrodes of knowledge to the nipples of ignorance?
