Lions Trade up for Jahvid Best

In a questionable move for the Vikings, they consummate a trade with the Lions to allow them to come up and pick Jahvid Best.  The Lions didn’t have many picks to trade, but they made the deal work.  They traded their 2nd rounder, and one of the seventh rounders and swapped 4th rounders to move up.  The Vikings [...]

Get Ready to Ndamu-nate

As expected, the Lions have selected Ndamukong Suh from Nebraska with the second overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.  I wanted a left tackle, but I am more than happy to have Suh. Suh gives the Lions three starting caliber defensive tackles and turns the defensive line into a position of strength.  Corey Williams [...]

PFT reports the latest on the possible move of McFadden to another squad before tonight’s draft. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported this morning that the [...]

Lions’ 2010 NFL Draft Needs: Safety

The Lions drafted two safeties in the second round under Matt Millen, which naturally meant it was still a position of need last season.  The Lions went to the well again and snagged the top rated safety in the draft in Louis Delmas.  Delmas played well all season, even earning Defensive Rookie of the Month [...]

Lions’ Schedule Released

The NFL released the full slate of games today and despite already knowing who the opponents would be, there was a lot of anticipation.  The Lions will not appear on national television (other then Thanksgiving Day) again, they haven’t played a prime time game since they played the Packers on Sunday Night Football in 2005 [...]
