Late round? How about our Big Brother? I hear from Maize and Blue that he's quick - though not fast - and could be a great 3rd down back.

Blake is solid. Would be a much higher pick if he didn't seem like a headcase.

Matt Forte, RB Tulane... Big back who's quicker then his timed forty (which was still a 4.49)

over here:
Detroit Lions Site: Mock Draft 2008
one can vote for the Lions 1st round pick in their mock draft. Funny and thankfully Devon Thomas is not an option. Mario manningham is.

Trade out of the late 1st rounder and pick up next year's #1 and a 2nd or 3rd rounder...
Select 4 players in rounds 2 and 3.

Matt Millen's Draft Board via This Is The Year I Finally Get It Not Quite So Disastrously Wrong | Kissing Suzy Kolber
Well, I think we’re just about finished preparing for this draft. I’m glad I flew in from Pennsylvania today to make sure our board and my notes were in order!
1. Limas Sweed, Texas
NOTES: Name kinda sounds like Speed, which means he has to be fast. Played with Mack Brown, who’s my kinda guy.
2. Malcolm Kelly, Oklahoma
NOTES: Played in lots of big games. I mean, REALLY big games!
3. James Hardy, Indiana
NOTES: Has real grit. If he’s the wide receiver equivalent of Vaughn Dunbar, I think we’re in for a real treat.
4. DeSean Jackson, California
NOTES: Very tall, and you can’t coach tall!
5. Devin Thomas, Michigan State
NOTES: Now THIS guy is a football player. Can see it in his eyes.
6. Earl Bennett, Vanderbilt
NOTES: That’s one of those smart guy schools, right? You have to be careful with guys like that, because they can overthink the game. Don’t want any overthinkers on this team.
7. Early Doucet, LSU
NOTES: Boy, doesn’t he just SOUND like a football player?
8. Andre Caldwell, Florida
NOTES: Dropped lots of passes in the 2007 AFC Championship game. But it’s so rare to find a college player who already has pro experience.
9. Jordy Nelson, Kansas State
NOTES: Marinelli likes him. What. EVER.
10. Mario Manningham, Michigan
NOTES: First name seems really chantable.

heard about it. didn't see it yet. but remembered him from the past year. still, he played against lesser competition, and might be a touch small for the nfl. but the topic is late round sleeper.
