I would love to have Reggie Bush, but he will not see a bigger contract than like 3-5 million a year with hardly no money upfront... So I doubt he will come to Detroit.

He would be stupid not too though because he's a older Jahvid Best and Jahvid Best flourished in our system.

If I was drafting him in terms of fantasy football and he actually did sign with the Lions. I would pick him in 4/5 round in 16 man leagues because he wouldn't see the goal line carries with Leshoure on the team.

We need to address defense more this off season, in my opinion. You can't win games when the other teams offense, no matter who it is, slices through us like a hot knife through butter. We can't allow eight 80 yard drives a game and expect to win many of them.

There isn't many receivers worth a top 25 selection though. I've seen some mocks of Detroit taking Justin Hunter in the 3rd/4th. I would be alright with that.

With all of our high risks/high reward draft picks of late I wonder how high Marcus Lattimore is on our draft boards? If he's there in the third, do we consider him? He was no doubt the #1 overall best running back in this class before his knee injury. Do we roll a dice on another player with a knee injury? I say.. we should because Jim Schwartz and Martin Mayhew's careers as Lions are dangling by a string, but what if they steal a outstanding running back? He won't be ready Week 1, but he could be 100% by Week 5-8. I truly don't believe our running backs are the solutions and it's very obvious that Mikel Leshoure lost his step after his ACL tear. It's another hit/miss selection, but I don't believe Lattimore has any off-the-field issues, so hey why not?

That's of course we don't add a speed back.
