I really don't like this draft in primetime thing. Now I have all night and all day tomorrow to stew about the Locker pick. I'd much rather there be a 2nd and 3rd round pick to (hopefully) make me feel better after the first day of the draft.

My condolences. At least it wasn't Christian Ponder?

Wow, it is gonna SUCK to try to run on the Lions the next 7 years or so. They're slowing coming around and building a respectable team.

 

They have a legit shot to win the NFC North next year. They're not the favorites, but if Stafford can stay healthy they're good enough to win it.

 

I don't know about their secondary. I'm not saying they "can't" win, but they wouldn't be my pick for the division. They're about 1 or 2 players away from playoff contention, though. They're almost there, and they're not gonna be doormats anymore.

 

In that division, though, there's no perfect team. They all have pretty major flaws, so that's not as big an issue.

 

What do you see as Green Bay's "major" flaw?

 

Maybe not major, but I don't think much of their run game. The offensive line isn't great is it?

Haha, I knew somebody would call me out on that as soon as I hit submit. As the message was sending I realized Green Bay doesn't really have a "major" flaw, so I misspoke there. I'm still not a huge fan of the offensive line, but it's better with Bulaga. If Woodson isn't incredible again next year that could hurt some too.

 

Green Bay's going to have to underperform for the Lions to win the division, but I think the Lions can give the Packers some problems and with luck could steal the division.

Ryan Grant isn't a worldbeater, but he's not a liability by any means.

 

It was bad last year because Grant got hurt Week 1.

Fair enough.

I will take solace in that at least.

Not that I'm complaining, but who the [expletive] is James Carpenter?

 

Alabama LT. Mayock had him as an early-mid 2nd rounder, though I've seen him most often mid-late 2nd. Pretty big reach there with all the talent - including Carimi - still on the board.

so I'm listening to EPSN Radio online, and it has made me realize how much I hate people saying "_____ Nation" I heard one of the Baylor guys say "Baylor Nation" and then Cameron Jordan just talked about "Who Dat Nation" I think this has become my biggest annoyance about sports

Green Bay is flawed obviously. But what is there "Major" flaw?

 

Check my response to erik. I misspoke.

 

Can we put a moratorium on picking the Lions though? Every year people pick them as the fashionable team that will win. They always suck in the end.

 

 

Until they prove something, they deserve to be picked to suck.
