I wonder if they will actually trade. 
I wish I could laugh at the Lions taking Johnson, but I agree with the pick. They ****ed up in the past. Rogers was a bust, Mike Williams was an all around ****ing horrible pick. Roy Williams keeps getting hurt. Johnson is the best player and they need help at the position. If they couldn't get a trade done, there was no reason for them to sacrifice value. Wideout isn't their top need, but it's a need.
.From AOLSportsblog:
Calvin Johnson is the guy every team wanted. There were reports that all 32 teams thought Johnson was the best pure prospect in this year's draft. There were reports that teams including (but not limited to) the Falcons, the Bucs, the Redskins, the Vikings and the Broncos were looking to trade up for Johnson, even though in general this is a year when teams would rather trade down.
Still, I have to say this: (And, I promise, I won't be comparing every pick to a basketball player.) When the Clippers selected Michael Olowokandi with the first pick in the 1998 NBA draft, I remember telling a friend that I didn't know enough about Olowokandi to say what kind of player he'd be, but I knew that if the Clippers were taking him, he had to be a bust.
Well, I do know quite a bit about Calvin Johnson, having watched him several times at Georgia Tech. And I think he's great. But I can't shake the feeling that if Matt Millen is taking him, he has to be a bust. Millen has made so many mistakes, so often, that it's hard to believe he could have done the smart thing here.
:lol :lol So true

lions beat writer saying that if millen/marinelli don't come down to address the media in 10 minutes then they're trading CJ, or trying to. said that people were throwing shit at the lions for a trade and that's why Millen pulled the trigger on the pick while there was still time on the clock.
i'm off to work. good luck everyone.

Steve Young is really gonna milk that "Perception is 9/10th of the law..." line, isn't he?
i think thats a good pick for detroit. now they should try to trade mike williams for a later round draft pick and try to pick up a QB from a later round or hey how about getting culpepper when he gets released? the QB situation is not as dire IMO. they have kitna who is servicable and if they get a QB like culpepper or in a later rd they could be good.
