Trying to draft a quality starting LT later in the draft is much more difficult than it sounds.
It would be easy to add Suh or McCoy. However, I've been against the thought of Backus as a starting LT since Millen drafted him as his first first round mistake. It's time to correct that mistake.
With an already improved defensive line and the ability to improve two positions on the OL with one pick it leaves only one player as the choice with the second pick.
The Detroit Lions select from Oklahoma State University offensive tackle Russell Okung.

If I was Schwartz and this happened, I'd be so ****ing pissed off.
