Gruden does seem to give Mel Kiper the evil eye, but there isn't anyone in the draft he's openly panned as yet. Pity, for I would love an ESPN analyst at any draft to once say, "The f*ck...." on a given pick.

So we're officially the BCS bowl team with the least ammount of NFL talent last year. Brady Hoke sure can coach!
Well I'm still puzzled and upset at the Broyles pick, but who knows I guess the draft is a crapshoot anyway but with Konz there it's still a bit alarming.
I like the Bently pick and hope that they can somehow deal a pick for Mike Jenkins, they need someone else in the secondary because a full year of Aaron Berry as the 2nd corner has death by air written all over it.
If I was Mayhew i'd still take a flyer on Alfonso Dennard even with the legal troubles, or George Iloka from Boise if he's available.
He's almost as much of a fool as Matt Millen.
A WR with a blown ACL over the guy most considered the best center in the entire draft? Over available safeties and corners from big-time programs?
Same old Lions.
Maybe Broyles is secretly a dominant center. Or lock-down corner. Or is blackmailing Mayhew or Schwartz. Unfuckingbelievable. I stopped being a Lions fan over three decades ago, but nevertheless I got sucked into thinking that maybe, just maybe, the Lions finally had some front-office people and a coaching staff that knew what they were doing.
FWIW:
Losers
1. Detroit Lions: The selection of wide receiver Ryan Broyles in the second round might be great for the future, but it doesn't offer a lot for the beginning of the season. The Lions must win now. Broyles is a project because he's coming off an ACL knee reconstruction.

You seem to care an awful lot for someone who gave up on the Lions 30 years ago.

You're conflating derision for caring "an awful lot." Their consistent 50+ years of bumbling is entertaining to me the way pratfalls by clumsy people are.

I didn't read it that way. I read it as bitching rather than mocking.

I can understand how my comments might appear to indicate true caring fandom. The last time I can remember being a truly fervent Lions fan was in the early '60s when I was a kid, which not coincidentally was before their purchase by William Clay Ford. Everything went downhill pretty quickly after that ill-fated transaction.
