After the Stafford debacle nothing the Lions do should really be surprising, I'm trying to remain indifferent to the whole thing. Yeah we needed a good tight end, Gaines was already dropping passes in practice and the new guy Heller is just a blocker. I like Delmas (I see you did have us getting a safety in RD3) what do you think about that pickup? Considering Maualuga was still there at 33 I'm pretty puzzled they let him pass…but then again so did all the other teams so trying to stay objective about the decision.

Looks like Beckwith and Ellerbe the linebackers didn't even get drafted…but the good ol' Lions went ahead and took ANOTHER tight end with their last pick. Good stuff!

They got some return specialists so I'm down with that, although maybe a bit early. This whole "best player available regardless of position" just doesn't sit well with me, it has to be tempered with needs to some degree. They say because the team has so many needs they can draft anything, but certain needs clearly are more pressing and they virtually ignored them. The lines are historically bad and they pick up only one lineman on each side, as late-round projects. Whoopee. I can say with confidence that most fans here are pretty miffed.

I liked Greene a lot, and think he'll have a solid NFL career. I had him as a mid second round pick. He's a between the tackles runner with awesome vision, balance, and power. His small hands and inexperience as a receiver had him slip into round three. Jennings is more of a pure north and south bruiser, but I had him rated higher than he will be drafted as well (third round pick). He lacks the lateral movement and quickness that Greene has, though he is probably somewhat more powerful–out of the Brandon Jacobs mold. Playing at Liberty didn't help him. Had he played at USC, he'd have been a first or second round pick.
