Lions minicamp: Day 2

More random thoughts and musings from Day 2 of Lions minicamp:

n First-round pick Gosder Cherilus held his own in one-on-one drills against defensive end Jared DeVries Wednesday. Cherilus also took a few No. 1 reps at right tackle. It's highly likely he'll win the starting job come August, but George Foster is first on the depth chart for now. The bigger question is what becomes of Foster. Considering Cherilus' youth, I think the Lions keep Foster as a fourth tackle (Jonathan Scott is the swing guy capable of playing both positions), but it's possible Manny Ramirez, Corey Hulsey and Frank Davis win backup spots instead.

n One other name to watch on the offensive line, Carroll Madison, a 6-foot-2, 308-pound undrafted rookie from Syracuse who drew unsolicited praise from offensive coordinator Jim Colletto on Wednesday.

n Defensive tackle Chuck Darby sat out part of Wednesday's second practice for undisclosed reasons. He joined Ernie Sims and Cory Redding, both recovering from minor offseason shoulder surgeries, safety Daniel Bullocks, receiver Shaun McDonald and tight end Dan Campbell on the sidelines. Campbell did run a few routes in one team period, but just to go through the motions. No passes (or contact) came his way.
