Gosder was a first pick that was pretty bad every year except last season. A good pickup if he continues to play like he did last year, but there are some questions about his knees holding up. He was less effective later in the season because his knees were bothering him a bit, I heard. Good news is that he's missed very few games in his career so far.

edit. meant first round

Trufant might have some consistency issues but Rhodes is much worse in that regard. I like Xavier Rhodes and he probably has the highest upside of any corner in this draft but among the consensus top 3 CB’s he’s the most inconsistent.

Poyer’s speed scares me, and he’s not really that versatile scheme wise either. If he stays at CB it’s going to have to be in a zone or off man system. I kind of like him a little better as a FS, but I question his ability to hold up in run support.

Trufant has a great combination of size, speed, and lateral quickness which is something the other two don’t have.

Lions are in a terrible position...they have no cap flexibility to get all the pieces they need, and drafting has become a lottery to them (and many other teams). I just see an average team for years to come unless they get rid of Lewand etc...

The Lions picked up former Southfield Lathrup and EMU product Jason Jones. He should be a really good rotational guy at DT, which is a need because Corey Williams and SLH are gone. Hopefully they will pick up a project at DT in the mid rounds to replace SLH. I really like Montori Hughes from UT Martin.

NFLN is reporting Reggie Bush is now a Lion. He signed a 4 year deal.

Will someone try to sell me on signing Reggie bush? I'm not sure signing Reggie Bush is a good or bad thing.

Now we gotta make a move on Goldson or Quinn and I'll be happy

He’ll have the same effect on the offense that Jahvid did (when he was healthy).

Excellent!!

It will be interesting to see how they use Quinn. He was a NB and a Dime LB in the Texan sub packages.

That’s a good thing as well. I still think they are going to draft another safety. With Quinn they will probably be playing a lot of 3 safety packages.

Agree. CB OT DE LB S WR in that order imo. First 3 could go to best available at those positions tho. If u know what I mean
