Stafford IS the Lion's pick...Orakpo will fall

[jpdex12]

Tyson Jackson stock is rising...I think we see Orakpo fall to #11 for sure.

I'd call it now if I was betting on it. #11= Orakpo!

Stafford: 6 yrs $78 million


Crazy... and he'll probably never do shizzle in Detroit.

Wow, that contract is ridiculous. Rookie contracts are out of hand.

No to Texas players. Just say no. Texas players are a very bad idea. Just say no to Texas players.

No to Texas players. Just say no. Texas players are a very bad idea. Just say no to Texas players.

I'm kind of worried about that too. In all honesty, I haven't been keeping up too much with the details of all college prospects, but I have heard some stuff about Orakpo's knees. Is there any concern there, or were these old injuries that he's completely recovered from?

Well I guess they feel they can get an OT with pick 20 or 33. They are gonna be paying a boatload of money to a lot of unproven players. I think they are gonna suck again. Didn't really matter what they did with the pick. They are a terrible team.

Re: Stafford IS the Lion's pick...Orakpo will fall

Mike Williams, Derrick Dockery, Cedrick Benson, Michael Griffin. The list goes on. The only guys who have recently made it as Texas players are Derrick Johnson and Roy Willams. They aren't exactly dominating either. They are good, but not great. Just say no to Texas players. Brian Orakpo will be Vernon Gholston.

Oh yeah, they can improve. This year they will be 1-15. Taking it one step at a time baby.

Well the Fins improved 10 games in one season?

Hold on a bit... dont bet that Jackson goes top 10.

I really think hes going to be looked at as a space eater like McShay calls him. I think Curry goes to the Chiefs and Orakpo wont fall to 11.

#11 Oher ( OT )
#28 Pettigrew (TE )
Alex Mack ( C ) the second round-

Those three would improve our protection of our Quarterback and help our running game.

Defense:

DE, DT, LB, S ( address these needs in free agency, later rounds, and next years draft )

I like how you think in that the TE spot is being forgotten about as helping our OL. Pettigrew is a stud blocker and would make our transition to a rookie OT or a newbie easier IMO.

That would do very little to improve this team this year. No thanks.
