Message: <blockquote data-quote="PackersRS" data-source="post: 246509" data-attributes="member: 1429">The Lions had no choice but to draft Matthew Stafford or Mark Sanchez. They needed to sell tickets, and what's better for a decadent franchise to create hope than a new face of the franchise? Especially after the year that Flacco and Ryan had. I would've builded through the lines. Saying that Pettitgrew will be part of the OL and boost their running game is BS. If they had a good OL that would be true, but not with what they have.  But they had no other choice, not with William Clay Ford Sr. running the show. They won't win 8 games, not with their lines. But they have right now one of the best linebacker corps IN THE NFL with Peterson, Foote and Sims. They have a monster in Johnson. A good RB (nothing more than that). They can be contenders in 3-4 years...Oh, and they tried to move down, but noone wanted the 1st pick. I'm even considering that they would settle for a top 10 and a 3rd, but I don't think they even got any offers. Just look at the guaranteed money Stafford got...</blockquote>
