Super Bowl weekend for the Lions! I mean, draft weekend, but it is all the same still right? The Lions need another QB, that is for sure, especially one that is hand picked by their current coach, the Moochie one! However, if they move up to draft a QB this year I will scream and say good ridiance to the Lions forever. The QB's that they are speaking of going early are nothing special and more than likely will turn into another Joey Harrington. If you move up, you move up for Braylon, or you stay at number 10 and pick a defensive player. Or, you trade it for two later picks in the first round. But Alex Smith (the QB) and Rogers from Cal are not going to be anything in the pros. There are no Manning's this year, please don't draft a QB high. Wait until the second or third round, find that "diamond in the rough" to mold (Brady was a sixth rounder, remember?) and do it that way. Crap, Kyle Orton will easily be there later in the draft - do it then, not early. Seriously, I hope Millen and Mooch are smarter than that, I hope they see the mistake that was made with Joey and learn from it. The draft is filled with a bunch of "Joey's", we don't need another one! One is more than enough on this roster, my stomach can not handle yet another Joey on the roster! Later! Ahhh….
