WTF? I thought the Lions stole the draft taking positions of need that would start immediatley. The Vikes did well, as did the Eagles I felt.

The Lions follow BPA to a T.

The Lions got perhaps the steal of the 1st round with Fairley at 13.

But as far as drafting players who will start immediately, you could argue the same with the Skins. Kerrigan, Hankerson, and quite possibly Helu and Jenkins are all potential starters. Neild could push Bryant at NT, too.

Don't get me wrong I think we did very well also taking players we needed. We needed a NT they got one and quite possibly a really good one. He was a NT in college and knows his job is to take up space and help stop the run.

Kerrigan will definitley be an upgrade and will help take some of the heat off of Rak.

Jenkins will most likely command double teams if Neild does not at NT so both Rak and Kerrigan should be freed up to crush the QB.

We had a definit need for a big body WR. Now we have AA, Hankerson, and Paul.

I might have foregone one RB and taken a Center to relieve Rahback or a RT since were not sure if the person expected to play that position can stay healthy. Atleast fix the foundation LT, C, RT then work on the gaps. We filled the LT last yr so it would have been nice to see either C, or RT fixed and the other fixed in FA.

But the Lions are going to have a Killer defense now but I would also say I think they started their "rebuild" a year or two prior to us so their needs were fewer. We had needs all across the board.
