Folks are starting to say he is too inconsistent, takes plays off, and sometimes gets beat by people that have no business beating him. I am so excited and at the same time scared for the 09 draft. It will b e interesting or sure. Michael Ohr has recently been taking some hits to his “desire” level.

The early consensus is, if he chooses to enter the NFL Draft, is Georgia QB Matthew Stafford. Personally, as a Lions fan, the sheer thought makes me recoil in fear and triggers convulsions that feature wonderful side effects like vomiting and diarrhea. Stafford has the look and ability of a NFL QB, but one has to ask, what exactly has he accomplished during his time in Athens? With the incredible cap expenditure that is involved with picking in the top 5, and the clear and obvious fact that the Lions need to draft players who can contribute immediately, I would support a Left Offensive Tackle, Corner, or Defensive End. More Specifically, Alabama's Andre Smith, Ole Miss' Michael Oher, Virginia's Eugene Monroe, Georgia Tech's Michael Johnson, or Ohio State's Malcolm Jenkins. You might ask, what have these players proven? My response is, considering the Lions propensity for draft faux pas, these are players who could help put the Lions into a future position where they may consider selecting a franchise QB. The Lions don't have the supporting players in place for a player like Stafford to thrive, in my opinion. Smiling Dog–Who would you suggest they take?
