I'm fine with the pick. The offensive line is only as good as it's worst player. If they didn't make this pick, then they'd likely have taken a raw player somewhere later in the draft, which would have had them then move Glasgow to center and have his guard position taken by some rotation featuring Kenny Wiggins, who is rated the 70th of 77 guards, and Joe Dahl, who does a great impression of a statue when he's on the field.
Back when the Lions were taking receivers and tight ends all the time, people complained that they didn't address the lines and said that if they wanted to win, they needed to build from the trenches. Now that they're doing that, it's still no good?
