Pre draft musings

De-twa

The Detroit Lions have reportedly agreed to a six-year contract with Georgia QB Matthew Stafford, and are poised to make him the top overall selection in the 2009 NFL draft.

Whether Stafford is the next Bobby Layne or the next Joey Harrington, only time will tell. But I think it would have been a helluvalot safer and smarter to draft an offensive or defensive lineman with that pick. Or trade down for more picks. They're starting over in Detroit and they are awful all over the field. The right way to build a football team is from the inside out. You start with solid fronts, on offensive and defense, and you go from there. There are offensive and defensive tackles on this year's board worthy of that first pick.

But Detroit went out there and they did what they do. Bless their hearts.

Seen their new logo? Looks like the old logo.

Not ready for prime time

Why is the draft starting so late this year? Are they really trying to draw a prime time audience? 

I don't like it, Roger Goodell. Tagliabue never would have let this happen.
