Ok, so I watched as the Lions made a trade the 15th pick to the KC Chiefs for the 17th pick, and swapped 3rd rounders, they made the biggest bonehead draft pick since drafting Mike Williams. They took a Tackle that no on has ever heard of. I mean Jeff Otah and Sam Baker would have been better choices for the first pick there. When they had the 15th pick, I was almost certian that they would do exactly what the Chiefs did and that was take Branden Albert, but NOOOOOOOO, you gotta trade it and get Gosder Cherilus. Now, he may turn out to be the best tackle the Lions have ever had, but as of right now and given his past of being a very upright blocker, he looks like a bad pick....at least it wasn't a WR.
I do however think that the Lions got a solid pick at number 1 of round 3 (64th overall) in Kevin Smith. He is said to be a very "Sanders'esq" runner. He was the leading rusher in the NCAA in 2007, but being from Central Florida he did not get much props. He was a steal there though. I thought for sure that he was a solid mid 2nd rounder. I was thinking like Philly or Arizona, or even as high as San Fran with the 8th pick in round 2. So I applaud the Lions for that pick. Still overall they did address some needs, but the round 1 bonehead move still ticks me off, so i give them a D. Thoughts?
