NFL draft

After building momentum this week with the NFL draft, the league has decided to kill the excitement by locking out the players again Friday night. Personnel had returned earlier in the day when the ban was lifted to go over playbooks and workout regimens. However, the reunion was short-lived when a judge's order lifting the lockout was temporarily stayed.

Second round draft action last night nets the Lions Boise State receiver Titus Young.  I like this pick as Young ends up being a great needs pick for a team that can especially use the play making capabilities: the Lions ranked 26th last year in average per pass attempt.

After ferocious trading and 4 QB going inside the first 12 picks, the Lions were left with no other decision but to bolster their defense when their 13th pick came around in the NFL draft.  We now get to see Nick Fairly playing next to Suh...
