Lions Draft WR Calvin Johnson

Perhaps the best prospect to be in the draft in recent memory, Calvin Johnson, WR from Georgia Tech was selected second overall by the Detroit Lions. Now nobody knows if a potential trade is in the works with Tampa but from all accounts, Detroit may ask for too much.

Anyway, Johnson should be a premiere player in the league. Imagine trying to defend Roy Williams and Calvin Johnson. You just can't do both to the best of your ability.

Now only if they had a good QB...

Great pick. Forget Millen's history... Johnson is the best player in the draft, hands down.

Millen would've been a bigger idiot to pass on Johnson because of past failures than to pick him.

Cool Re: Lions Draft WR Calvin Johnson

I don't like it at all. The Lions should have traded the pick, and gotten more help across the board. Their defense still sucks.
