The Silver Lining
November 23, 2007 on 12:38 am | In Uncategorized |Pro Football Weekly has recently posted it’s scouting report for a few of the top offensive linemen who should hopefully be available in the 2008 NFL draft. The silver lining is, if the Lions play their cards right, they unfortunately won’t likely be involved in the Jake Long sweepstakes, but they will likely be firmly entrenched in a draft position where they could consider selecting Jeff Otah, Gosder Cherilus, or even a dark horse like Michael Oher, the protagonist of a fascinating book by Michael Lewis, entitled “The Blind Side”.
Jon Kitna knows that the Lions need help along their offensive front, and Lions fans unfortunately are also quite aware of that reality. But the true wild card remains, the Lions front office.
As the Lions 2007 season continues to fade, the entire organization needs to take a honest look at it self, warts and all, and figure out what were the missing pieces that will likely keep them from making the playoffs, when it once appeared so obvious that they would.

There is no silver lining. Millen will not draft an offensive lineman. They aren’t shiny enough to get his attention. As I’ve heard one commentator say, for Matt Millen “Clueless” is not a movie, its a way of life.
