Terrible picks by both Tampa Bay and Arizona, which is not a surprise. Brown is a huge reach, and Gaines Adams has bust written all over him.

 

who do you think they should have taken?

I can't believe the Lions would draft another 1st Round WR after all those busts, even if he was the best of the bunch.

 

Johnson is a gifted athlete, but the Lions sure could have used more picks compared to one impact player.

I still think Tampa and the Lions may work something out. Tampa has a ton of picks, the Lions like Gaines Adams and we all know Tampa LOVES Calvin. That said I really can't fault the Lions for making that pick because CJ was the best player on the board and even though they have taken a lot of WR's, they only have one WR and when you team him up with Roy Williams you can forget about WR for a long time (cause health is the only thing I see preventing CJ from being a stud).

Arizona reached so far, they could have taken any of a half a dozen guys, including Adrian Peterson (Edge is DONE) and it would have been better. Adams is a board pick by Tampa, but he just has bust written all over him. He is a lazy ass, takes downs off, and doesn't pay attention to the run. They'd have been better off with Okoye or Landry by far.

Agreed on all counts. CJ is a great talent so you can't laugh at Detroit, but still, another receiver? That isn't going to turn them into a good team. I still think Tampa and Detroit might make a trade, your right.

 

I like Landry a lot, but 2 safties in the top 10 in the span of a few years? I just am not a fan of taking safties that high once, let alone twice.

Any thoughts on the Skins potentially having taken Landry for the Bears? I'm just thinking S is definitely a need or is that deal all the way dead at this point?

Bears got Archuleta, Manning and Brown, I doubt that.

I don't want Landry at 6. I don't want to give that type of signing bonus to a freaking safety, screw that. Its no difference than what the Niners did last year with Vernon Davis which was absolutely ridiculous (highest paid TE with no career games played in the NFL). IF the Bears made that deal it would have been to move down into the teens and take an olineman or possibly a WR/TE.

There is a very real chance that injury prone Brown gets cut, and I hope people aren't silly enough to think Archuleta is any good.

The Bears are not in cap trouble so there is no reason to cut Brown. Plus his contract isn't that bad and even if they did cut him they'd restructure and bring him back before they did anything else. Brown is a Bear, you can book that.
