Looking for bests replacement. I hope they don’t get him tho, that is a total luxury pick in the first two rounds, they have other needs to address.

not how mayhew drafts.

BPA baby!

James and best are similar players but James will fight thru injuries

you are an idiot… as if what best is going through is a run of the mill injury

You don’t reach on players just to fit a need. Mayhew has already shown he looks for BPA. Lions will only look at James in the late 2nd-3rd anyhow.

How do you know they won’t? I expect them to. Mayhew is a master at throwing up smokescreens and disguishing who he really wants to draft.

Holy god the Lions offense doesn’t need to get any better. 4th in the league is fine. Just draft a damn corner.

Is anyone thinking the Lions’ OFFENSE needs improvement???

Good grief! The Lions secondary single-handedly gave Matt Flynn the mega-buck contract he just signed.

I really don’t get the lack of confidence in Kevin Smith. He started 4 games last year and averaged 4.9 ypc, caught 22 passes, and scored 7 TD’s…and the kid’s only 25. He WANTS to play for the Lions – read they can pay him less.

Leshoure doesn’t even have a pre-season carry, and is coming off an achillies injury.

Sign Smith, and got some secondary help in the draft and Free-agency!

Ironic Mr.pharvin, isn’t he the one always out because of migraines, I think you’re just mad that its the vikings with a top 5 pick and the lions are now picking in the twenties, something you ll have to get used to

If you’re comparing turf toe to a commission, you might want to get checked out yourself.

Sounds like he would prefer to go somewhere and be top dog, not come here and get into a rotation. Probably not wise to draft someone who you know will be unhappy. But if he’s BPA on their board when their turn comes, they may very well take him anyways.

Even though James is good, are the Kittens stacking RBs like WRs a few years ago. Kevin Smith had a very impressive comeback last year, played well, and should get resigned. Best and LaShoure will return, mostly LaShoure bringing some power.

Best played the entire 2010 season with a nagging turf toe. I’m not sure anybody in their right mind wanted him to play through the concussions he had last season. Silly comment to say Best can’t play through injuries.

BArry Sanders?…Please! James will be more like Mel Farr. He is to small to take the hits at the next level. The Lions need more DF play makers. They have enough OF.

James is such a threat. I actually think he could be something like Barry Sanders.

But he would have to replace Best. I mean, Best is like that far guy from Blue Mountain State: always one concussion away.

Perfect for the kittens. Another little man who always gets hurt.

I would not mind having him in Lions Blue. With that said I hope LeShore can come back and be who the Lions thought he would be when the drafted him, and I wouldn’t be to upset if Best could play another five years or so without a concussion (Don’t see that happening though) K Smith is good when healthy, the problem is he is never healthy so we are wide open at running back. We could be in great shape or in a mess. We wont know til game eight or so

I think Cincy has an eye on James also. Marvin was @ Oregon’s Pro Day scouting him personally. Cincy’s looking for a home run hitter and James fits the bill. Could be part of a 3 headed committee with the Law Firm & Bernard Scott.
