Back to back picks pretty much show you where two NFC North organizations go. Vikes pick Christian Ponder a round earlier than he was going to be taken, and the Lions land the best talent on the board and will have the best defensive line in football next year. Not as awful a time to be a Lions fan as usual.

That was one of the worst picks I've ever seen. Horrible. He sucks.

If Stafford can stay healthy the Lions will win the Super Bowl in 5 years or less

I kind of disagree, they are stuck in the same divison with that team from Green Bay and they are pretty damn good.
I think the Lions have turned the corner and the playoffs are in their near future, but I would take the over 5 years for the Super Bowl bet.

You're buggin'. Playoffs, yes, Super Bowl, no.

I think Prince was a nice steal at 19 for the Jints, Matt.

I'm a diehard Lions fan, and I can't be that optimistic. I would take a couple of wins in the playoffs over the next few years.

After the crap I've had to endure the past 10-12 years, I'm willing to be patient.

I just don't see Cam Newton warranting the #1 pick. Time will tell, but he seems more likely to be an Akili Smith than a Daunte Culpepper, using the 1999 draft example.

Default As for the Redskins.....

I think Kerrigan could be a nice addition opposite Arakpo, which should get his totals up which is a positive. Kerrigan causes a lot of turnovers, hopefully he'll bring that to his pro game as well. Instead of reaching for a QB they trade down, got 2 picks in Rd 2, and can address other team needs. This team is NOT one player of need away, so the extra pick is another plus in my opinion. Let's see what they do tonight in Rd 2 hopefully get another O lineman, then perhaps a young QB to groom behind whoever they decide to start.

I like the fact that the Redskins didn't take any of those QB's. Was there anyone in there that looked like the next coming besides Newton who really could be any kind? Before I get lambasted, I am not saying Newton will be anything, I am just saying he has the arm, size and speed and will certainly get the chance.

How about an offensive lineman? They could have taken pouncey or even traded up and gotten that kid from USC.
