Hello. Yet another fascinating NFL Draft. Some football people say it's more entertaining for them than the Super Bowl, because their team is always in it.
What got overshadowed this time by Brady Quinn going down the list so far (to #22) was Detroit's pick (#2). They could've used a QB, or lots of other positions. Instead they drafted yet another WR, making it 4 of the last 5 years they've drafted that position.
Why do they keep picking WRs? Because their other needs are irrelevant.
Why? Because the Detroit Lions are the Toronto Maple Leafs of the NHL. They don't have to have a good on-field product to succeed. The fans have supported them throughout their history, which has been pretty bleak. When a local radio station changes the lyrics of "Another One Bites The Dust" to "Another One Kicks Our Butts", you get a feeling for how bad they are.
Why get a lineman who only gets named when he holds? Go for someone flashy! Take style over substance! Ignore needs, because they're irrelevant.
