No, I don't know, something about the lockout and knowing that the two players that would most help solidify the Lions will be long gone by the time the team picks 13th has just drained me of all energy this year. Usually, I would spend every free moment at work pouring over sportingnews, Great Blue North Report, mlive, cnnsi, and espn to see how all the players rank or how fast they ran a 40...how much their statistics changed from sophomore to junior years...there would be tons of arguments about who would have the most impact on the lowliest defense in the history of the NFL...but this season...nothing. Maybe because there has been no free agency...no excitement...nothing.
So, just because I haven't posted since the end of the season...which seems so long ago...let me give you a few observations about this year's draft that could come back and haunt me for years to come.
The Lions need Patrick Peterson or Prince Amukamara...but they won't get either.
Every QB they're talking about going in the first or second round this year will be a bust. Cam Newton is just not an NFL signal caller.
Nate Solder will be the best of the OT in this draft. He's biggest, strongest, and most fundamentally sound.
Da'Quan Bowers is Andre Wadsworth with an extra apostrophe.
Von Miller could be the next Dwight Freeney.
The Lions need two outside linebackers something fierce. I wouldn't be surprised to see them reach for one in two of the first three rounds.
Colorado CB Jimmy Smith is going to be a star in the league...because he'll have so many people to prove wrong.
The Lions do need an offensive tackle and a center...probably two offensive tackles. No offensive line is perfect, especially when your quarterback is made of glass.
The Ford's will continue to do nothing about the Detroit Pride until the fervor for cheerleaders dies down and then they'll be pompous enough to say "see nobody really wanted them" because they're jerks who don't give a crap about the average fan.
