I tried looking up 2009 NFL draft prospects today, came accross this mock draft.

Has the Lions taking strong armed QB Matt Stafford 1st overall.
Has the Chiefs taking Sam Bradford 3rd. Hard to say QB has been an achilles heel for the Chiefs forever and Bradford could be a good one. But man....10 sacks all year...that defence needs a pass rushing presence in a really bad way. |
From a marketing standpoint, signing Cassel would be the way to go, then pick up a stud on defense with their first pick. The Lions have very few offensive weapons right now, but they also have no o-line either.
How did they let it get so bad?
