Presumably bored from a lack of activity during the offseason, Detroit Lions
head coach Rod Marinelli took time out recently to detail his team’s draft
plans to the Detroit Free-Press. Freely listed in the pages of the newspaper
and Web site for all to read was a list of 10 players on which the Lions
will be focusing.

After telling the non-NBA caring public at large (and, it should be noted,
the NFL competition) that the Lions would be focusing on four areas – DE,
LB, OT and RB – Marinelli and columnist Nicholas J. Cotsonika went on to
name names, specifically:

• Defensive end: Florida's Derrick Harvey; McNeese State's Bryan Smith.
• Linebacker: Oklahoma's Curtis Lofton; Tennessee's Jerod Mayo; Purdue's
Cliff Avril.
• Offensive tackle: Vanderbilt's Chris Williams; Boston College's Gosder
Cherilus; Kansas' Anthony Collins.
• Running back: Central Florida's Kevin Smith; Tulane's Matt Forte.

Lions suck at drafting. They should trade down as much as possible and get a
bunch of players through draft and free agency for their money. Maybe
throwing enough crap up against the wall, signing enough players, something
might stick.
