Thursday Notes: Angelo Crowell Visits Lions

  • Free agent linebacker Angelo Crowell visited the Lions on Wednesday.  Crowell previously played for the Bills and was a full-time starter in 2007 before spending last season on the injured reserve due to knee surgery.  Crowell visited the Buccaneers on Monday and has the Eagles and Rams interested in him as well.
  • The Lions and 20 other NFL teams were in Kalamazoo on Wednesday to check out safety Louis Delmas work out at Western Michigan's pro day.
  • Offensive tackle Andre Smith worked out for scouts at Alabama's pro day, and his stock is continuing to fall.  Smith didn't impress scouts with his workout and gave off the impression that he still wasn't taking the offseason program seriously.  Now some are saying he could fall all the way to the third-round.  That is just unbelievable considering he was being talked about as the top pick of the draft right up until the combine.  Now it seems like teams don't want to go near Smith due to a lack of effort and care on his part.
  • The Panthers released cornerback Ken Lucas.  Lucas blocked a potential trade that would have sent him to Detroit back when free agency first got underway, so the Panthers released him for cap reasons.  I'll go out on a limb and predict that he doesn't sign with the Lions.

Smith

Andre Smith sounds like a player we had in Detroit before. Do we all remember Sean Rogers? The last thing the Lions need is a rookie who doesn’t want to be here and has a poor work ethic.

still…if he somehow does fall to the third round, don’t you almost have to take a chance on him with the 65th pick?

I still think he’s going mid 1st round somewhere, but that’s a guy who now has the motive to develop a big league chip on his shoulder, which could help him down the line….all speculative, obviously, since the combine flameout doesn’t seem to have straightened him out in the short run…

OT's falling

Is there any possibility that we could get Michael Oher with our other 1st round pick. If we did that, I wouldn’t even be mad if we selected Stafford 1st. I don’t like Stafford, but if we could steal Oher, I would be elated

Yeah, in a recent homer mock I did, Oher fell to me at 20. Unbelievably, so did Maualuga . . . Oher also fell to us at Scott Wright’s Draft Countdown‘s latest mock. I’m pumped because I think Oher will actually make an incredible LG for the short run—he’s low, squat, and powerful, and his lateral limitations won’t hurt as much at guard. He’ll get a couple years to improve his footwork, and then he can take over for Backus—it would be a major coup if it happens.

Peace
