Take another receiver, but please — no Brady

I keep getting this sick feeling that the Lions are going to take Brady Quinn with the second pick in the NFL Draft Saturday.

He would be the worst pick of the five considered to be the best players in the draft.

Quinn broke nearly every Notre Dame passing record, but that is more indicative of the offensive scheme of Charlie Weis than Quinn’s talents. Quinn never measured up in the big games.

Hopefully, the Lions are just using Quinn as a smokescreen and plan to select someone else or trade down in the first round.

Even though the Lions don’t have a great track record of taking receivers early in the first round. I wouldn’t mind seeing them take Calvin Johnson (if the Raiders don’t take him). But all accounts, he is the closest this draft comes to a sure thing.

Who would you like to see the Lions grab?
