What The Lions Should Do With The Draft


We should not draft a QB because he would get killed on every pass play. We should save that pick for LT Andre Smith. He would improve the o-line greatly, especially if Jeff Backus was moved to RT, and Gosder Cherilus was moved to RG. Then, the Lions could draft Penn State WR Derrick Williams with pick #20. I know what y'all are thinking, "why another WR", but he could be a great return man. Then, with pick #33, the Lions should draft LSU LG Herman Johnson. That would give us a great o-line, especially in 2 years when the rookies have a year under their belts. "But Beef99, those are all offensive players." Yes, but the defensive side is loaded in this draft. Then, with the 1st pick of the 3rd round, they should draft Georgia LB Dannell Ellerbe. Then they should move Lenon to Strongside LB. With their 2nd 3rd round pick, draft Cincinatti CB DeAngelo Smith. In round 4, they should draft Western Michigan Saftey Louis Delmas. In round 5, draft Missouri QB Chase Daniel. He would add depth. Plus, he was great in college. OR they should draft QB Curtis Painter out of Purdue. Then , in rd. 6, draft a TE, and another LB. That would fix like every problem on this team.
