I’m fine with not taking Rey, but Delmas? Sean, you said he is the best safety in the draft, but it seems that not many others think so. How do you figure he is, and aren’t you concerned about his size? He was able to hit like that in the MAC, but in the NFL?

I haven’t liked any of the picks so far, they have been very Millenisque.

They should have grabbed Rey Rey. These picks are total crap

So Stafford was the No. 1 rated talent on the majority of boards? On anybody’s board but the Lions?

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME. I thought they finaly grew a brain and than they do this. My new favorite team is ho ever the lions are playing!!!!!

If you had replaced the front office in 2000 with a group of retarded monkeys there is a 100% chance they would have done better this decade. You hire a defensive coach and then tie up all funds in the salary cap picking about the 15th best player with the number one pick. Pick offense with #20 where a tight end just as good would have been there for their 2nd round pick. Then they draft this little guy for a safety? If you hold your elbows at your waste and raise your hands you are imitating the Lions defensive backfield. I really thought they might finally show a little bit of sense. Swartz said they all had to agree on every pick so that means THE WHOLE FRONT OFFICE IS A BUNCH OF IDIOTS. The only thing they did was get rid of the head idiot Millen and left his clones behind. God help the Lions fan.

best qb te,and safety in draft we got them and we needed all 3 postions so bad!, best draft i seen in 10 years for the lions

with the Lions taking two, arguably three of the best players at their positions. I expected them to take Oher to guard their 41 million dollar investment, but they took the best TE in the draft, and I was very surprised with their pick of Delmas, the best S in the draft. I really thought we were gonna fall into the hype of Mauluaga (spelling?) and Laurinitis (spelling?), but I was extremely glad they passed and got secondary help which we desperately need. Maybe we’ll get 2 interceptions this year!!

I go to Western and Delmas is the man. He is a hard hitter and a game changer on the defensive side of the ball. He can cover one on one and he can blitz with the best of them. I would have liked to see Maualuga but Delmas is a good pick. I bet New England would have taken him at 34 if we didn’t take him.

im not sure if its the complete ineptitude of the past decade has gotten us used to terrible drafts thatwe dont see this one may have some positive sides.I mean we did get the best QB in the draft (not my personal choice im a tebow guy) so were told, we got the best TE in the draft( a stretch at twenty but solid)and a big hitter in a small package(once again not my choice but if he can take the punishment could be good pick) . Let me say im more of a defensive guy I would have gone Curry,first and foremost,then if you looking for helpup front , or Jerry to stuff the run,or Davis to help cover someone, that leaves the third pick for possibly T Britton or Alphoso Smith . But all is not lost but maybe its time to help that o-line now that they have thier QB lets try to protect him maybe give him a chance to suceed how about G Duke Robinson or Cadagon to play Tackle, or Kruger depending on DE ’s that are or thier draft boards! To get my point across OK now we have Stafford so lets try to keep him alive before he gets beat to a pulp…remember we will still end up top 5 again next year

The rest of the draft was ruined before it started by paying Stafford so much. It is just too much of a risk tying up 41 million for a maybe maybe not guy. If Stafford doesn’t pan out (and Lions history says he wont) you have ruined your chances by tying up salary cap money. It was way too risky. If somehow Stafford became a pro-bowl quarterback the grade for this draft would go up to b+ because they got some value late. When you are as bad as the Lions you try to be a little safe and get better before you take big risks. Even fools get lucky once in a while so I hope this is that time for that fool Mayhew.
