Well, now that our boys have done what we thought they'd do, let's put this in a better light: I mentioned we would fall from a 4th slot to perhaps 11th. Someone said that's no big deal. Ah, I disagree. See, now we should be drafting 4th, then 36th, 68th and so forth. IOW, some half dozen + slots ahead of where we would have been. Quite significant, provided Mayhew doesn't screw the pooch in the coming months. This next draft could be huge, as -- with the paring off of some bad apples, a signing of a decent FA or two, plus 2 or 3 good draft picks -- the Lions, should they stay reasonably healthy, might just end up in the playoff next season. This loss should be for the best, but we shall see...
