I dont see why the Lions would draft a D Lineman at #13? We need to get 2 starting OLBs so im expecting theyre going to trade for one or sign a free agent to fill one need and draft one in the first round. If Mayhew does sign or trade for a CB then we need to draft a SS if Speivey isnt going to start there next year. If Mayhew isnt planning on signing or trading for a CB then the Lions should draft the best available CB.
Round 1: OLB
Round 2: CB or SS
Round 3: WR
Round 4: OL
Round 5: DL
Round 7: CB or SS?


Quite honestly I heard rumors about trading back with Seahawks (Our 1st for their 1st + Lofa) for Lofa Tatupu and I already know they're going to be putting a lot of power into signing a starting cornerback via FA.

I don't know why you would draft a SS. Spivey showed he could be a starter as a rookie.

Round 1: OLB
Round 2: OL
Round 3: OLB
Round 4: WR
Round 5: DL
Round 7: Practice Squad

I think Detroitt has it right with the WR pick in R3. Might even grab one in R2. Rumor has it we might put Burlison as #3 and pick up a good #2 to compliment Calvin. I do see us trading for another OLB, I cannot believe that we would draft & start 2 new OLBs. CB / SS depends on what we do in the FA first, but I can see the posibility of picking up a new SS. Doesn't mean he'd take over for Spivey, but maybe try to make Spivey fight for 1st string.

I honestly wouldn't mind.

Strong OLB - Lofa
MLB - Levy
Weak OLB - Bruce Carter

While I was working out a sport analyst said "The Detroit Lions are one healthy Matthew Stafford away from being where the Chicago Bears and Greenbay Packers are now." Over the radio. That it was pretty cool.

A lot of rumors of Brandon Harris (CB, Miami) @ #13, really!? If they are seriously considering this player at this stage of the draft without trading back it'll be Matt Millen era all over again.

I swear if Von Miller is on the board and they draft Harris my great grandpa will roll over in his grave.

Lions RB Kevin Smith has message for Dolphins: 'Come get me'

Can’t say I’m not happy because I am ecstatic. Please take that waste of cap-space. You want Bryant Johnson or Felton too?

Mayhew will prolly go after a 3rd or 4th round with a 6/7th round tender pick for next year.
