I guess LSD use is mandatory in the General Manager's office.  WTF are they thinking?  All the good free agent corners are gone and there's no way Dennard's lasting until the third round.  Is the front office crazy or stupid?

Is drafting for the lions. They take a slot ninja who blew his knee out when we could have had Adams or Konz. This pick is a joke.

What Mort is saying about Mike Adams. What an idiot. Surprised Pitt thought highly of him enough to overlook his lying. Enjoy Lamar's jock strap carrying duties.

But the pick still makes little sense. They passed over healthy players at positions of need. This is simply a mindboggling bad decision. The Lions have done nothing to fill their defensive needs. Mayhew better have something up this sleeve or the Lions will be looking at drafting high again next year.  This team was fortunate to win 10 games last year with this defense. I don't think they can count on 4 come-from-behind-wins.

now. The Lions are bringing back Mouse Davis. The Silver Stretch offense will be reborn. Seeing as the defense doesn't matter, they might as well fix the O-Line. Next pick get a guard, and replace Peterman.

He was an All-American the last two years.  Regardless of how much I would have rather had Kontz or a CB, this single fact makes me less depressed.  The boy can play.  He's hurt, but Detroit obviously feels that will be solved.  He would have been a top 20 pick if healthy.

Where will he play?  Titus Young is the real deal.  I can only imagine they will have some 4 WR sets + TE Petigrew = empty backfield.  (really, is this that neccesary?)

Maybe they aren't counting on Burleson being around much longer.  But if so, who takes WR #2 - both Titus and Boyles seem like a slot WR, right?

ARGGHHH I'm trying to to break my computer.

I will repeat: "He was an All-American the last two years."

He'll be the steal of this draft. You just wait and see. There wasn't a whole lot on the board in terms of CB or S. Konz maybe at C, but c'mon. It's Konz.
