I try not to understand.

I know, but whether it's safety or corner, the Bengals obviously needed both and I think the two Safeties, Griffin and Nelson would have been a better pick, then selecting a corner in Rd 2, then doing whatever. I thought it may have been a possibility that Cincy would take Troy Smith and try to do what they attempted to do with Reggie McNeal last year.

And remember, I'm calling this right now. The best WR in this draft will be Gonzo from Ohio State. I know Calvin Johnson has the speed, size, but Anthony Gonzales runs the best routes of any WR in this draft, catches the ball very well, and will be a Houschmanzadah type WR. Plus he's with the Colts who have the best QB in the game. The lions will still be looking for a legit QB in a couple years.

It has been a while since I've posted but I needed Sayer's analysis to be justified about Gonzales being better than Calvin Johnson? 
Also, the Lions had a QB who threw for over 4,000 yards last season in Mike Martz's offense.  Now I'm not saying Kitna is better than Manning, but who is really in a better position to have the better rookie season?  Let me add Johnson will be a no. 2 receiver while Gonzales will be getting time at the no. 3 or 4.
Oh yeah, I'm a Lions fan too!

Sayer,

Saturday was good.  Not many days can you get 18 holes of golf, a few dances at Racers AND a VERY long night at the Casino....  In fact, I slept all day yesterday because there were a few of us that didn't go to bed on Saturday night.

I came out ahead by $300 but a buddy of mine was the big winner at $1800.

i would rather play 3-4 receiver in indy than be the man in detroit. while the 8mile thing is cool and all, the team is aweful and woeful. since they are a member of the old guard in the nfl, i wish they would get back on track and get to the super bowl.

when are the Lions going to learn that these skills guys that they keep picking aren't going to get it done until they land an offense line that can protect the QB

[Mr. Ypsi]

The Lions have no real incentive to improve as long as they sell-out every game with this pathetic product.  REAL Lions fans DON'T attend games - it is the only vote we've got to improve the team!

[dc_has_been]

The Lions did do some work on the line during the offseason.  They picket up George Foster in a trade w/ the Broncos which he did start 49 out of 45 games.  They also signed Edwin Mulitalo from the Ravens who will play left guard.  Also, Damian Woody dropped 31lbs in the offseason showing he is taking things more seriously as he entered a program at Duke to drop the extra weight.  So it looks like they have addressed the Oline issue to protect Kitna w/ some vets that will get the job done.
I think the Lion's offense will be good to great this year, its their defense that will be the problem.

Ah, an overachiever!

i would get a guy who played in more games than required as well. he seems like he loves the game, and has a real passion for playing, or shadow blocking.

the lions sell out their games. they have great fans and stupid front office people. i get why they picked the wr from georgia tech, but come on. actually, let jon kitna earn his money. if he can throw passes and pass block de's in the nfl, he may be highly underrated. plus, he shaves his head and swears a lot, i like that in a qb. kudos to detroit.

Thanks Mr. Ypsi for pointing out my mistakes.

[SaintsFAN]

I thought that too.....shall we say...."he's a real gamer". 

[Mr. Ypsi]

Oh, shucks - that was a mistake?!

The Lions could use a few overachievers!

[victorybell_57]

if it makes you feel better, i was just weed whacking the outside and took what i thought was entire infectous bed of weeds. i was very proud of my afternoon. there were a lot of weeds and i completely erradicated my little domicile of them. turns out, they were expensive flowers and plants that are hard to keep alive. i just murdered about $400 bucks of whatever the hell they are. this is going to be a very interesting evening. pray for me.

The Lions needing only a few overachievers is an understatement.  Hopefully their clean house tactic pays off by getting rid of all the bad attitudes & bringing in all of the "character players" that Marinelli keeps on talking about.
