I was 100% behind taking Johnson and still like the pick. However, add Joe Thomas to the '07 Lions and they stand a very good chance of making the playoffs, something Johnson clearly could not contribute. I like Duckett. However, I don't believe he wanted to return. It was clearly in his best interest to sign with Seattle, until they also signed Julius Jones, too. The Lions may eventually realize that you have to walk before you can run. The foundation has to be laid and fully completed, before you can build on top of it. Danny, I agree.

Their plan had always been to create the greatest show on earth bringing in all of these big name recievers. There still isn't any stage for the greatest show on earth to perform on, meaning the offensive line. After seeing the recent success of the Colts, Giants, and the Patriots, how can they not see that the key to a successful playoff team is in the line, on both sides of the ball. And letting go of Duckett was not the greatest idea. He is the best back I have seen in years, he has the ability to make something out of nothing and will find himself in the pro bowl this year on the seahawks.
