Lets take a look at the negatives surrounding the Lions' nine draft picks:
Quoted: (1) Cherilus is more of a developmental prospect in our opinion... (2) you wouldn't think he could be an NFL linebacker; he lacks ideal size, doesn't have great range and can be a liability in man coverage... (3) Smith can dance in the backfield too much and he's a little bit of an upright runner, so he takes some big hits... (4) he doesn't have great size or the frame to get substantially bigger. He also has to learn to shed blocks quicker... (5) Avril doesn't have great size and plays with a narrow base, so he has problems holding his ground when teams run at him... (6) Moore is an undersized receiver who doesn't have great top-end speed... (7) Felton isn't a dominant lead blocker and will not put linebackers on their backs. He isn't an explosive open-field runner either... (8) The biggest knock on him is that he's vastly undersized for the interior defensive line, which could mean that teams will have success running at him... (9) There are some durability concerns, though, due to a knee injury. Does not change direction adequately.
This season is going to be *totally* different than last season.

A public experiment that was better in theory than in practice: "In the end, the restrooms, installed in early 2004, had become so filthy, so overrun with drug abusers and prostitutes, that although use was free of charge, even some of the city’s most destitute people refused to step inside them."

But Ba, you've forgotten that all of these guys are GAMERS! They have INTANGIBLES! They play the RIGHT WAY! One of them is in the ARMY! HEROES! Some of them might grow BUSHY MUSTACHES - real MAN stuff!
The Lions will be like that '99 soccer team that took on the tall gazelle-like Catholics in the state championship and won with their out-sized Christian hearts! You of all people should recognize this. What we lack in size we will make up for with WILL TO WIN! Talent matters not! Lions '09! Moral victory will be ours!
Matt Millen finally drove me insane...
Yet some people are giving the Lions a B-/B for a draft grade. I don't get it. I think they filled the right positions, but chose the wrong players. Maybe this will be the year people stop showing up to the stadium.
