I have refrained from commenting on the Lions' draft debacle in the hopes that it was a bad dream. Instead, the nightmare continues. Sometimes, in planning plan an event, a marketing strategy, an article, it is useful to play the "what can this absolutely NOT be" scenario.
That's what the Lions' executed on draft day. They overpaid for a QB, they drafted a really good TE after signing a TE free agent and with other decent TE's available in later rounds; they drafted a safety when they had signed some free agent DBs, and they drafted an LB that will not start, an OL in R7, a twig-like RB just like the one they have already on the roster. Then, they drafted ANOTHER TE.
It seems that a even a wholesale management and coaching change...and a new logo... is not enough to change the organization's ineptitude on draft day.
