The Detroit Lions have been taking some heat for their draft. Local commentators don’t like their choices because many of them don’t fill immediate needs.
Much of the criticism stems from the choice of MSU quarterback Drew Stanton instead of a linebacker like David Harris of Michigan early in the second round.
I agree to an extent, but I think Stanton has a chance to be a good NFL quarterback.
What do you think?
The Stanton choice is a little scary. Like most draft decisions, though, if it works out, the Lions’ staff will be heralded as brilliant; if it doesn’t, we’ll all be bitter. I thought trading for more 4th-6th round picks was wise, and they certainly stuck to the defensive side of the ball there.
The whole thing seems like a gamble; only on-field results will satisfy.
