2009 Draft

With all of the 2010 draft talk, and the trade CJ nonsense I thought I could bring a little light to the gloom.

With hindsight being 20/20 and all; if the 2009 Draft was to be redone, there would be some obvious changes. Especially with which players would be available to us. Because, and get this our Front Office Knows what it is doing!! Some of the players we chose would have gone much sooner. Levy, Delmas could be 1st rounders. Slammin Sammy could have gone in the 2nd round etc. etc.

Though there are a couple different scenarios that would have made this class stellar, I am not going to complain. I am ecstatic that there are articles written like the one below. Follow the link please.

I like BP, and what he could mean for us in the future, but if we had taken Oher that would have eliminated the glaring need to address the o-line in the first couple rounds in the 2010 draft. But I like BP, and think the trio of Stafford, CJ, and BP will allow us to cheer on Sundays for a long time. Also D. Williams could be explosive when he catches on, but we could have taken Mike Wallace (if they were set on drafting a WR in the 3rd) and could have helped Staff THIS year with a legit pass catcher. We don’t know D. William’s ceiling though. Not willing to call him a bust yet.

But another year of solid drafting and this team could start to pick up steam.  Let’s keep up the positive spirit guys, this is a rebuilding year. Look at the good things, and what we have to look forward to. GO LIONS!
