Secondly, I have no problem with the CJ pick. He’s a can’t miss prospect and I get the feeling at the Lions probably won’t re-sign Roy Williams when his contract is up and needed someone waiting int he wings. That’s just a hunch though. Also, taking Landry at #2 would’ve been a bit high, if you ask me.

The problem I have with the Lions draft isn’t the first round pick, but the Drew Stanton pick. The fact of the matter is that they could’ve had Paul Plozlusny (sp?) instead of a guy who’s already on IR. Then when you look at that one deeper, which you mentioned in your article, they could’ve had Merriman or Ware on their team as well. Could you imagine a YOUNG LB unit of Merriman or Ware, Simms, and Ploz? Instead the Lions have the “mean” trio of Bailey, Sims, and Paris effing Lenon.

The Lions fail to realize that defense wins championships. Yeah, they have this flashy offense, but who cares if your defense can’t stop anybody?

Yeah, their DB’s have been overhauled, but they all suck! The Lions only hope on defense is if the front 7 is productive, mainly the D-Line, because as of right now that sit=back-and-wait Tampa 2 defense is toast if you can’t get pressure with your D-Lineman.

I don’t see the Lions winning more than 5 games this year.
