A memo to the Lions on how they should handle the draft this spring:
Please do us a favor and don't draft Stafford or Bradford. Take a page out of the book that Miami did. Take the best player and thats Andre Smith. One thing you have done for far to long is build the wrong way. Build from the inside out now.
Build that O-line and d-line. You have your starting rb for a few years. You have your star receiver. Get a solid qb and think about next year for a qb.
With your second first round pick go defensively. I'm a DB or LB would be nice. Then in the 2nd round get Duke Robinson from Oklahoma. He is a stud at Guard.
The main reason you don't take a qb because who is going to protect him? Bradford is a shotgun Qb. I don't think he is ready. Stafford has the tools but isn't ready for the NFL. There is no Flacco or Ryan in this draft.
Then with all your other picks look at the defensive side of the ball. Get some speed because we are way to dam slow.
