Culpepper Could Be Good.

Daunte did have his bright spots last year. He has had more time to work out, and has reportedly lost twenty pounds. He has had a chance to study the playbook more. He has been re-united with his former O-coordinator, Scott Linehan. Linehan coached Culpepper in some of his best years. Culpepper has a wideout that is better than Randy Moss in Calvin Johnson. Daunte also has a lot more experience than any other Lions QB. I say we wait 'til next year to draft a QB, and draft OL and defense this year.

Lions trade Redding and a 5th rounder.

Lions trade Redding and a 5th rounder for former Seahawks' LB Julian Peterson.

Lions sign two players.

The Lions have signed two defensive free agents, Philip Buchanon and Grady Jackson. Jackson's career stats are at the following link. http://www.nfl.com/players/gradyjackson/careerstats?id=JAC185074. Buchanon's career stats can be found at the following link. http://www.nfl.com/players/phillipbuchanon/careerstats?id=BUC267107.

Search for missing people called off.

The search for Lions DE Corey Smith, Raiders LB Marquis Cooper, and William Bleakley has been called off. This is a huge tragedy for the Detroit Lions family, and the Raiders family. Here is a link to see what some people in the Lions organization. http://www.detroitlions.com/document_display.cfm?document_id=482387

My New Michigan Football Blog

I just got a Michigan Football blog. It will basically be the same thing as O-Lionman, except about U of M football.

Mock Draft

This is more of a list of who I want the Lions to draft than who I think they will draft.
1a. OT Andre Smith, 'Bama
1b. LB Rey Maulaluga, USC(probably won't fall this far)
2. CB Alphonso Smith, Wake Forest
3a. OG Herman Johnson, LSU(might not fall this far)
3b. DT Terrence Taylor, Michigan
4. TE Bear Pascoe, Fresno State
5. QB Curtis Painter, Purdue(possibly a little early)
6a. LB Zach Follet, California
6b. C Jon Cooper, Oklahoma(might not be here)
(Some of these players are picked early, and others on this list wont fall as far as I have them going.)
Then, the Lions would have to hire a free agent WR or two.
This plan would fix at least six problems at several positions.
