Lions Draft Day

I believe that the Lions had a metiocre draft. They had some good picks especially early with picks like Matthew Stafford and Louis Delmas who should be good picks come the start of the season. I was skeptical about the Brandan Pettigrew pick because the Lions had a lot of bigger positional needs like middle linebacker, defensive line, and offensive line. Plus Brandan Pettigrew is a run blocking tight end who has the ability to catch some passes in the red-zone. There were a lot of bad picks though in the later rounds, such as Derrick Williams who is a wide-receiver. He is not a bad player, but he is just not what the Lions need right now. Also, They should not have picked two outside linebackers. They shouldn't have even drafted one! The Lions already have good starters at that position. I would rather have them have drafted a better outside linebacker then DeAndre Levy who is not very good. They also drafted a second tight-end in the seventh round which quite frankly is just dumb. That tight end gives them five total! They also drafted a running back for some reason. Not that we don't have three good ones already. I did like the fact that they drafted Sammie Lee Hill out of Stillman. He will add size to our defensive line.

Dan the Sportsman Says: The Lions had a metiocre draft but that didn't make them worse. Their record should be 4-12.
