[...] Over at NFL Mocks, they’re conducting a team-by-team draft. Of course, we weren’t invited since our Carolina Panthers don’t have a first-round draft pick – yet. [...]

February 17th, 2009 at 10:55 pmThe Lions are selling the QB at #1 pick. They are doing great with it! If you can get someone to decide that they need Stafford, you can get them to trade up.
February 17th, 2009 at 10:55 pmPlease remember that if you choose "Fill In Candidate" that you have to specify who that is.
February 17th, 2009 at 10:55 pmJason Smith of Baylor is my choice. The guy is smart, dedicated and extremely talented.
The two QB's are 3 year guy's with to many flaws. Lions cannot afford to make a mistake on the no.1 over all pick. Next year, the draft will be QB rich with more talent and experience with the 4 year guy's.
February 17th, 2009 at 11:28 pmBring in a good QB next year with a terrific offensive line to work with.
Aaron Curry in the middle would be a beast to anchor the defense for years. Look at what Chicago accomplished with Urlacher and the Ravens with Lewis. Get your OT at 20 and a DE/DT at 33. OG/TE/CB should be addressed with the next picks in the 3rd and 5th rounds. Has anyone heard about the compensatory pick that the Lions should be getting this year? I heard a rumor that it will be a 4th round pick.
February 18th, 2009 at 12:13 pmI agree with John's assessment. A good defense will not only allow fewer scores but improve the offense's playing time & field position which increases their scoring opportunity. Of course being that it is the Lions, it may only increase the number of sacks they allow so yeah there has to be some new blood on the O-line too.
February 20th, 2009 at 7:09 pmditto for john's blog. we need defense. we actually had enough offense if only we could defend when we had a lead or were still in the game. Curry is probably the best and safest pick in the whole draft–esp. for our needs. 2nd priority is a massive presence in the middle of the d-line. remember ray lewis' plea a few years back. after that the o-line. a good OG probably as helpful as an OT.
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:03 amThe lions need to start to build a team with defense. A. Curry the best LB in the draft.At #20 a OT or DE. At #33 a DT or DE. the goal is to draft the best player available since u have 5 picks of the first one hundred.At 65 may be a TE or another LB.At 82 the best defensive player or best OL a guard/cener.The lions must know that they can find a QB next year,u draft a QB who want be playing and u paying him a ton of cash when u could be paying someone who can help right now.
March 11th, 2009 at 6:15 pmThe lions defense, A. Curry at # 20 a OT/DE at #33 a DE/DT.The best player available at the other positions of because they need alot. THe lions must know they can draft a QB next year.
