If you do a bloglines feed, it is a nice add. <BR/><BR/>"DOC — April 30, 2008 @ 8:57 am<BR/>Same old story for the lions. Seems like there is no brain power running this team. Kitna isnt the answer at QB, they need a decent RB, and they jump at the bit for cherilus.<BR/><BR/>DetFan1979 — April 30, 2008 @ 7:44 pm<BR/>Doc — how is it the same old story? They picked up a guy who, in weaker RB classes, would have been a low first, high second round pick in Smith. Cherilus would NOT have been there later — in case no one noticed, Othah, Baker AND Brown — the last 3 OL rated with a first OR second round grade, were gone by pick 26 — 19, 21, and 26 were all OT — and Carolina traded up to 19 just so they could get an OT as they knew that by the end of round one the starting talent was taken."<BR/><BR/>My post was in response to the first one I copied in there.DetFan1979https://www.blogger.com/profile/02632685989381122197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8276344251743982154.post-79445057254508569082008-04-30T12:18:00.000-04:002008-04-30T12:18:00.000-04:00I have to agree with you on the UDFA. They do have...I have to agree with you on the UDFA. They do have a lot of depth at many positions. I know that some of our talent isnt the greatest by any means but they are trying change that. It doesnt mean that they are going to find a diamond in the rough so to speak out of the UDFA'S but, it happened before with other teams. Maybe we can get that lucky with some of these guys they have brought it. I am definetly looking forward to this season to see the progress made. The divison is looking a lot tougher this year, espically with the defense Minnesota has got together. Chicago will be back in form I think this year with last year not being so great. <BR/><BR/>I have read a couple of these draft grades on the lions. They all say it was a bad draft for us and that we took a step back instead of going forward. They couldnt be so wrong. They filled the needs that had to be filled. This is kinda the defining year for Marenelli to really see if he can make this team succeed. He showed signs of that the first 8 games besides the 2 blow outs. I have a lot of pride comming into this year that they are gonna compete and succeed. Go Lions!!!! <BR/><BR/>I enjoy reading your blogs that you post. You do a damn good job. Its nice to have a place like this where us TRUE Lions fans can go and voice our opinons without getting someones negative opinion about it!!! Kepp up the good work.DetroitSimshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00560295431465768510noreply@blogger.com
