Lions have the #2 overall pick in the draft...

Calvin Johnson finished just 16 yards short of having 1,000 receiving yards. He played a good game and made several big plays, including a 4th down catch that moved the chains. He caught 6 passes for 86 yards and 1 TD.

Daunte Culpepper had a decent game for a change. The results were the same as the Lions lost to the Bears and finished the season with just 2 wins and 14 losses. That means the Rams, who also lost today, will draft #1 overall and the Lions will have the #2 pick. So will the Rams take a QB, or will they take Suh? The candidates for the #1 spot at QB will be Jimmy Clausen from Notre Dame and Sam Bradford from Oklahoma. If the Rams don't take a QB there is little doubt they will take Ndamukong Suh with the #1 overall pick.

What will the Lions be left with at #2? Well, they need a DT or LT badly. Gerald McCoy, a DT from Oklahoma, or Russell Okung, a OT from Oklahoma State would be good picks at the #2 Spot. There are other options the Lions can look at, and they will look at everything.

The Lions can trade up and take Suh with the #1 overall pick but I think they don't because thyey would have to give up too much to move up one spot. The idea of building a team is to keep all the picks you have and try to get more. That leads to the next option the Lions will look at.

The Lions may try to trade back in the draft for 2 first round picks. I think this would be the best approach and could fill two holes on the team. In an uncapped year there might be a team looking for just that right player to put the team in the playoffs. The last piece. Such a team would trade up for a player like Suh or even Clausen if that is what they were looking for.

Another thought is how much players will rise and fall now until late April, mocking is fun now but in reality it is a shot in the dark right now. I also am a big fan of Derrick Morgan out of Georgia Tech. We are stuck with #2 no matter what, why would anyone want to trade up to #2 assuming Suh is gone?

1-Suh/McCoy/Morgan DT/DE
2-Ras I Dowling/Patrick Robinson CB
3-Mike Johnson/Mike Pouncey OG
4-Mitch Petrus OG/Austen Lane DE
5-Barry Church SS
5-Joique Bell RB
6-Taylor Price WR
7-Mesko/Swenson K/P

Guards, Dline, Secondary need to be adressed first in this draft no matter hwat. I am tired of seeing Will James getting beat deep this year and not getting a consistent pass rush. I believe that last years tactic of 'Best Player Available' is not the best option this year with significant needs at the above mentioned spots. This being said I also believe what we do in free agency and trade wise can impact our draft tactics too. It has been rumored that a trade for KC's Glenn Dorsey is a likely scenario, so with Dorsey, Hill do we draft another DT? Does that open up for a DB-Berry, Haden perhaps? Can we make a play for Nhamdi Asomagah from the cash strapped Oakland Raiders who are rumored to be wanting to dump his big contract? Could we make a play for FA's like Marcus McNeill or Logan Mankins on the Oline? In 2008 Our LB corps was Sims, Lewis and Lenon, in 2009 we solidified that group with signing Foote, trading for Petersen and drafting Levy is there another corps we could solidify next year? Perhaps trade for Dorsey, sign Kyle VanDenbosch and draft Derrick Morgan. Would that solidify our Dline and give us some depth? A lot of speculation on how this off season could unfold.... guess this is why some say our real season starts now...
