Yes, to hang your hat on a QB expecting he is the next Matt Ryan just one year after Ryan was drafted has bad odds written all over it.

@Jerad Kutler, I agree.

Solid football teams that can win over extended periods of time are built in the trenches. It sounds like their new coach Jim Schwartz believes in this philosophy, and it makes sense because that is how Tennessee has always done it. I think the Lions will go O-Line and make the safe & smart choice to start off the draft.

No, you do not take Stafford, and it has nothing to do with whether he’s #1 or #8 on your board. It has everything to do with the fact that Detroit has been using the terrible strategy of trying to build through skill positions for several years now, instead of doing things the smart way and starting in the trenches. They could have Tom Brady tomorrow and he’d get killed out there, but if you build up your team to run the ball and stop the run, and give those linemen a year to gel and learn, THEN take a Colt McCoy or a Sam Bradford next year, they won’t have to do so much and will have a chance to grow in the system. Bite the bullet, skip the flashy names that sell jerseys, and build a TEAM the smart way.
