So they were either going to stay out or trade back, because their board value at this area had a good bit of depth. Thought about trading back, but decided they didn't want to lose our on Jordan and so drafted him.
The Lions trading up wasn't a surprise, teams are a lot more comfortable with talking within the division and trading with the division than they used to be, so it sounds like they had a trade talk, before Lions traded up.
According to Gute, they see Morgan as a four position (both OTs and OGs) player, and they'll let the coaches select where to put him. Sounds like they absolutely love his pass blocking.
Sounds like they could trade up or down tomorrow, I sorta got the Gut Feeling (which could be totally wrong), that he was talking about possibly trading down at #41 OR up at #58, depending on how the board fell.
Also it sounds like they take super great stock in (I kinda wondered if too much stock) into what a great guy the college staffs say about them... and got a flashback to how they loved to talked about Ohio State loved running Meyers out to talk to media...
Which like, that's not a bad thing... but, I hope you aren't investing too much in that over the film. Because a hard arse whom plays better might be more helpful on the field than a guy that plays nice with the media.
Also, Gute really wants all the OL and CBs he can get...
