Football Pros and Cons of the Lions picking Calvin Johnson (mainly for Josh)

This is the lions best scenario.

DETROIT LIONS

Key Debate: Can they take another receiver early in the first round? Jon Kitna is OK, but who is the quarterback of the future?

My Advice: Conventional wisdom says take Joe Thomas or Gaines Adams, but passing on Calvin Johnson at No. 2 would go against the theory of taking the best available player. Adding Johnson in the first round and Trent Edwards or Drew Stanton in the second round sets up the Lions offense for years. There are enough pass rushers in this draft to get one in later rounds.


They need to respect the fact they arent going to be a playoff team next year.
