Starting to think we're filling DE with a mid-level free agent (Jason Jones, William Hayes) and a combo of LoJack and Willie Young Sr. Durant is replaced by Ashlee Palmer, who will get pushed in camp by the cubs we picked up last year (Whitehead and Lewis). I'll be shocked if we don't draft a safety in the first 3 rounds, to replace Delmas. Probably need to get used to the idea of Carney and Spievey seeing a lot of time next season. If you've learned to live with an STD, I imagine it's a very similar experience.

I would expect the pick at #5 to be whoever Mayhew and Co. deem the best available out of Joeckel, Fisher, Milliner, Jarvis Jones.

Stafford HAS to be restructuring his deal, if all this talk about Bush, Goldson, Hayes etc. is based in reality. There could be a chance the Lions have more cap room than any of us think...
