    So great, we have a young QB who either won't play this year at all or will be asked to win the game without pass blocking because our piss poor defense will stop no one.
    No DE or DT was worth taking with the number one pick, and as stated before the #1 pick is hard to move. Next the top four tackles are Jason Smith, Eugene Monroe, Andre Smith and Michael Oher, Oher should be there for the Lions at #20.

    In the second round if they do not want to draft James Laurinaitis, Michael Johnson and Larry English both DE's can possibly fall to them.

        Name the last LB taken with the #1 pick. Plus they have Sims and Peterson already at the LB position,yes Curry can play inside but it would not make much sense for them to pick Curry.

          Well i think Stafford will have the weapons to suceed in 2 years. I just hope he pans out. O and I hope the rest of our draft is defense and o-line

            Detroit needs a WR to give him someone to throw to. Sure he can toss it up to Calvin Johnson all day but they need someone opposite of him, and a slot receiver.

                They signed Rondal Curry and Bryant Johnson who will be retty good I feel for us. I do think they might draft a TE in the 3rd round though.

                BTW, ou defense wasnt that bad, it was the fucking Tama 2 defense which was horseshit. Under a 4-3 system with Shwartz, i think we will imrove dramatically.

                  Because he'd still be asking for first pick money.

                    Bryant Johnson couldn't even be a #2 in SF. Come on man.

                      We'll see if one of those 4 falls to #20, I say they don't. Personally, I wanted Smith, Mauluga, and Hood with our first three picks, but instead, we'll probably go something stupid like Stafford, Pettigrew, Laurinitis.

                        He came out this year. That is if we are talking about the same person.

                          Did you see Matt Ryan having a year like he had last year? No, nobody did as rookie QBs are hit or miss and a majority of the time teams wiff hard.

                            No. There isn't a system on the planet that is so bad as to allow that sort of ineptitude.

                            I mean, the Tampa 2 has won super bowls for Tampa and Indy. Took Chicago to the game as well. Sorry, you aren't blaming the system for that.

                            It's a defense of castoffs. Greg Darby? Paris Lennon? Brian Kelly? Jared Devries? Ryan Nece? Nobody wanted them. Dewayne white was a backup in Tampa. . Kalvin Pearson is a castoff. Cory Redding has one decent season. They weren't young developing players, they were castoffs. Devries has been on the Lions for 8 years (or so) and never started until last year. Nece was cut. Lennon was on Green Bays practice squad. Darby couldn't make the Seahawks. Kelly was cut.

                            You don't just become the worst defense in history on accident.

                              Ryan had a good year because of Turner and White. If Turner never comes to Atlanta, the Falcons win 5 games top.

                                This is such a dumb statement.

                                "If Brady didn't get hurt the Pats would have won the superbowl."

                                "If DeAngelo Williams didn't have the year he had the Panthers would have won 8 games tops."

                                "If Joe Flacco didn't play for the Ravens he would have won 4 games for any other team."

                                "if this and if that," nugga please.
