    They drafted great other than Stafford.

    For every manning and palmer there is a david carr and ryan leaf.

    Stafford had the top RB in the draft and a 2nd rd WR and another WR in green who will probably be about a 2nd rd pick. His FB will probably make the jets this year as an unfa.

    If stafford goes bust it will set the team back for another 4 years.

    Is it my imagination that carpy has been drinking quite a lot beer lately? Every time he posts he has a beer in his hand.

    I think that would've been a better strategy. They are many pieces away from being a contender, besides I like a lot of the 2010 QBs better than Stafford.

    I would've strongly considered Michael Oher at the 20th pick if I were the Lions GM.

    I still swear Michael Oher's name would never be mentioned if it weren't for his story, and the media over-hyping him due to it. Could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure he's 90% story and 10% talent.

    You are wrong Michael Oher should have been a top 10 pick and will be one of the best players from this draft.

    First team all American.

    2 time first team all sec.

    Look at the quality of of defensive players he had to block in the SEC.

    He might be in the hall of fame one day.

    Great call! Michael Oher was simply the best player on the board at that time bar none.

    The lions have a very good left tackle in backus and daniel loper to play the right side but a guy like oher can play inside or tackle and loper is only signed for 1 year. In fact oher started at guard early in his career.

    I thought about Oher, but I still would have gone with Mack.

    Well the thinking i'm sure is that pettigrew improves their running game and passing game.

    Bryant johnson and ronald curry were signed to compliment their stud WR on the outside.

    Derrick williams was drafted for the slot.

    Pettigrew gives them a go to TE and improved blocking.

    Maurice morris gives them a solid #2 back behind smith.

    Loper was signed to play right tackle.

    They did cover a lot of areas except the interior o-line.
