Hint: they put two trophies on Aaron Rodgers mantle a few months ago

He’s not going #1 overall. I’ll bet anything.

You’re kidding right? If anyone gets bumped into Safety, it would be Winfield.

Therefore, do the smart thing – trade back for picks, fill some needs and suck for awhile. Hell, maybe even Andrew Luck falls to them next year.

Truth is, it’s very average to porous. Homers see what they want and the mock is just for fun so settle down and don’t get your panties in a bunch. It’s not real, Dorothy – no need to tap your heels together.

Too many QBs for the first round. They’ll fly off the boards in the second though. Dalton to the Colts in the second. And Williams will sneak into the bottom of the first.

Also watch for trades down for the Pats to move up a little.

A QB with his measurables and arm strength has 1st round pick written all over him. He’s athletic, fast, tall and has a rocket arm and a classic, over-head delivery. Granted he’s a little raw, but David Garrard is a great option to keep the seat warm for a couple of years while Kaepernick is developed.

Also- @ kingjoe: you’re nuts if you think only two QBs go in the 1st round. I’d be surprised if any less than 5 were selected. And Newton sliding to Miami at #15? C’MON man! Like him or not, we all know there’s no way he falls out of the top 10.

Newton, Gabbert, Locker, Mallett and Kaepernick are all very likely to go in the 1st round. Then you have the next wave with Andy Dalton and Christian Ponder, both of whom could sneak into the late 1st with teams looking to trade up and snag a passer before day 2…

Isnt there alot of cocaine in Miami?

Your lack of knowledge on the things you report on is alarming. You’re supposed to do a little bit of investigative research before writing this stuff you know.

I realize that PFT is a blog, and as such they toss around a lot of opinions and such, but you guys could at least hire people with a journalism background. I get annoyed reading something that is obviously the writer’s opinion, yet is trying to be passed off as “the facts.”

For instance- saying that the Lions “must draft the best offensive lineman available to keep Matthew Stafford healthy” is irresponsible sports writing. The Lions offensive line in 2010 was 6th in the league in total sacks allowed and 3rd in sacks-per-passing-attempt. Clearly Stafford’s shoulder injury this season was not a result of poor line play.

Rather, it was the result of a player who has never been taught how to properly tuck and take a hit. I watched that play live (and way too many times on replay) and Stafford tucks the ball under his right arm and falls directly on his shoulder. Had he wrapped both arms over the ball and fallen on his arm/chest the injury could have been completely avoided. Go watch the clip and you’ll see what I mean.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’d love the Castonzo pick because Backus is getting up there in years, but your reasoning is all wrong. Also, I highly doubt he’d start at right tackle before moving to the left side in a year or two. Cherilus played very well last season and there’s no reason to think we’d make another hole on the o-line by jettisoning our young starter at RT.

I don’t mean to unload on you I guess, but it’s frustrating when the “experts” who are getting paid to write about your favorite team clearly don’t have any actual clue about said team. It’s not just this article either, every time I read your entries concerning the Lions I come away with the sense that you don’t have a clue about our team.

If you’d like I’d be happy to give you my email and share some thoughts about the Lions with you… I follow them like its my job, so I’m sure I could give you some interesting leads, at the very least. Your call…
