draft day

today and tomorrow is the nfl draft, the most exciting day of the season of a detroit lions fan. as of 8:50 pm it's the second round still, with the lions taking calvin johnson in the first round, the fourth time in five years the lions have taken a receiver as a first round pick (charles rogers, roy williams, mike williams, cj). in the second round we took of all players drew stanton from state (obviously just to keep him in MI) even though trent edwards was our projected qb pick. although stanton did well with his wonderlic scores, i want to see if he's receptive enough (as the wonderlic is supposed to determine) to learn an NFL playcalling system after leaving state's simplistic ass shotgun rollout system.

in any case, here's a mock lions draft board, courtesy of mike sanders' profile:
