    The Lions clearly are looking hard at group of four offensive tackles with their 13th overall pick - USC's Tyron Smith, Colorado's Nate Solder, Boston College's Anthony Castonzo and Wisconsin's Gabe Carimi. Solder, who measured out at 6-8, 319, with a 34 1/2-inch arm reach and an 81-inch wing span, said he met with general manager Martin Mayhew during the Senior Bowl. "It's going to be very competitive for those guys and it's going to be fun to watch them work out," head coach Jim Schwartz said. "There's a lot of guys in a clump right now, but over the next few months we'll see them separate and see who ends up at the top of the clbutt."
