Matthew Stafford was just announced as the No. 1 pick at the NFL Draft.  He joined Roger Goodell on stage for pictures in a Lions hat and with a Lions jersey.  Although it became official last night, this was our first chance to get a look at Stafford in Lions gear.

I'll post pictures once they become available. 

Stafford will now probably get on a plane to head to Allen Park to be introduced by the Lions.

He’s now our guy. No reason to boo. Show the guy some respect and give him a chance.
