You guys are insane. Boyles would've been a early to mid first round pick if he didnt tear his ACL.

Boyles was an awesome WR at OU.

Just like Rodgers has Jennings, Nelson, James, Cobb, etc.
Stafford has Calvin, Young, Boyles, and Burleson now.


It's BROYLES. At least know his name before you homer.
I like the pick as well.

I know there are some MSU fans here, how good is Keshawn Martin?


Elusive as hell but he will drop balls
Bj Cunningham was the record breaker with cousins. I would take bj over Keshawn any day

Besides it was a pretty good draft. You cant draft nothing but offensive linemen or reach for cornerbacks. Lions stayed loyal to their board and drafted well.

Was out for the weekend on my anniversary but saw the draft. I loved the draft. The talent we got with Reiff and Broyles is amazing. I really liked this draft.

Whats more amazing is we got Broyles in the second round. If not for his ACL he would've gone in the first. Bentley dropped too us in the third round and he was early/mid second round draft pick.

I've seen Greenwood play before. He has a big structure. Could be a good journeymen cornerback for us. He'll be atleast better than Brandon McDonald :rolleyes:

PS Happy anniversary

I think its safe too say that Patrick Edwards might be a stud in the NFL.

Kid is impressing everybody at training camp.

2008: 46 catches, 634 yards, 4 TD, 25 kick returns, 506 yards (20.2 yards per return) :drool:

2009: 85 catches, 1,021 yards, 6 TD

2010: 71 catches, 1,100 yards, 13 TD, 29 punt returns, 231 yards (8.0 yards per return), 1 TD

2011: 89 catches, 1,752 yards, 20 TD, 32 punt returns, 210 yards (6.6 yards per return), 1 TD :drool:

A similar player to Ryan Broyles, Edwards seems to have a very good chance to make the 53-man roster this year. The fifth wide receiver spot on the depth chart is up for grabs, and depending on how quickly Broyles is able to come back from his ACL injury, the fourth spot could be up for grabs as well. To me, Edwards seems like a guy who could make the team because he has great speed and could potentially push out Stefan Logan as the team's returner. Considering how much production Edwards had in college, it's clear he can return kicks and catch passes, so there might be more value in keeping a guy like him around rather than Logan, whose contributions are really limited to special teams.
