Lions sign two players.

The Lions have signed two defensive free agents, Philip Buchanon and Grady Jackson. Jackson's career stats are at the following link. http://www.nfl.com/players/gradyjackson/careerstats?id=JAC185074. Buchanon's career stats can be found at the following link. http://www.nfl.com/players/phillipbuchanon/careerstats?id=BUC267107.

Search for missing people called off.

The search for Lions DE Corey Smith, Raiders LB Marquis Cooper, and William Bleakley has been called off. This is a huge tragedy for the Detroit Lions family, and the Raiders family. Here is a link to see what some people in the Lions organization. http://www.detroitlions.com/document_display.cfm?document_id=482387

My New Michigan Football Blog

I just got a Michigan Football blog. It will basically be the same thing as O-Lionman, except about U of M football.

Mock Draft

This is more of a list of who I want the Lions to draft than who I think they will draft.
1a. OT Andre Smith, 'Bama
1b. LB Rey Maulaluga, USC(probably won't fall this far)
2. CB Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest
3a. OG Herman Johnson, LSU(might not fall this far)
3b. DT Terrence Taylor, Michigan
4. TE Bear Pascoe, Fresno State
5. QB Curtis Painter, Purdue(possibly a little early)
6a. LB Zach Follet, California
6b. C Jon Cooper, Oklahoma(might not be here)
(Some of these players are picked early, and others on this list wont fall as far as I have them going.)
Then, the Lions would have to hire a free agent WR or two.
This plan would fix at least six problems at several positions.

4 Players Cut

Leigh Bodden and Mike Furrey have been released. Dan Campbell and Edward Mulitalo will be released this week.

Steelers Win!

The Steelers won Super Bowl 43. The score was 27-23. A couple of former lions played in it. And Roy Williams thinks the Lions practiced harder than the Cowboys. Time for the Cowboys to update the trading block.
