Cherilus to the Lions at No. 17

With the No. 17 overall pick

The Detroit Lions select…

Gosder Cherilus, Offensive Tackle, Boston College.

Cherilus is 6′6” 314 lbs. and ran a 5.21 40-yard dash. 

Maybe Matt Millen is getting smarter, they moved back picked up some more picks and decided to help protect his quarterback instead of taking a chance on a skill player. It’s about time this GM learned something he’s only been screwing with this franchise for over five years. Cherilus should help keep whoever’s playing QB for the Lions off his backside.
