It's about time the Lions draft defense! When they announce the lions were on the board with the 9th pick I was ready to pull out the rest of my hair if we went offense. I think Millen finally does get it. Defense wins games. He might have learned a thing or two from Lovie Smith and the Bears stingy defense. Don't need to put up big offensive numbers to win games, just need to get stops!

This draft by some was the worst ever but for me it was a great draft. From Ernie Sims all the way to our last pick (LB) Cannon. We drafted very talented players for a roster that was desperate for talent. Out of the 7 draft picks I see four that will start right away. Sims, Bullocks, Scott and Matua. The others will become very solid backups and special team players.

Also, If you think all of this years draft picks wont make the roster. Think again! Rod has a roster full of other coaches players. These 7 drafties are Rods men. So one should expect all of this years draft class to make the cut and replace some vets that have been assembled over the years that couldn't cut butter with a hot knife. Wont give names but you don't need to watch a whole lot of film to know who should be given their walking papers!
