from TFY:
"Q: How do you think your Pro day and individual workouts have gone?
Duane Brown: Real well, everything improved from the combine so I was happy about that. I worked out right afterward with the Redskins, Jaguars and Lions and then watched some film. We had a great turn out and there were a bunch of offensive lineman coaches there who I talked to.
...
Q: Have you been flown into any NFL team facilities for private interviews and workouts?
Duane Brown: Yes, I have had nine team visits so far. I met with the Dolphins, Buccaneers, Eagles, Chargers, Panthers, Redskins, Chiefs, Cowboys and Lions. It’s very humbling to have so many teams willing to invest money in you by flying you to their facilities and possibly draft you. So right now it’s just an honor to have anyone interested in me.
Q: Are you starting to get a feel of where you are going to go in the draft?
Duane Brown: Yeah, I have been hearing a solid second round pick. My agent says there is a chance I slip in the first round, but for the most part I am hearing the second round. The draft is so unpredictable and it is going to wear on my nerves but I will try to stay calm. (Laughing)
Q: Do you look at teams and see where you might be the best fit?
Duane Brown: No, I can play anywhere, I think my feet make me a good fit for zone teams and my strength makes me a good fit for power teams. So I think I can go play anywhere and not have to worry about trying to fit the team’s scheme."

And by the way, there is no way the Lions should take Cherilus for their zone blocking scheme...especially where he's ranked...he cannot move his concrete feet.
