I figure Calvin Johnson deserves his own thread.
So this is for our 2-7 round picks.
2 (43) Drew Stanton, QB, Michigan State
2 (58) Ikaika Alama-Francis, DT, Hawaii
2 (61) Gerald Alexander, CB, Boise State
4 (105) A.J. Davis, CB, N.C. State
4 (117) Manny Ramirez, OG, Texas Tech
5 (158) Johnny Baldwin, LB, Alabama A&M
7 (255) Ramzee Robinson, CB, Alabama

I grew up in Farmington Hills watching all those great Harrison teams and was hoping we would get Stanton. I posted that I hoped we would draft him in the other thread before we picked him. I feel like Nasty, I can see the future

Don't get me wrong - I am happy with Johnson and with Stanton, but I am seriously troubled with our defense and our OL - we need something else and we have not had a good track record of picks in the late rounds.

I was happy to get Stanton for local reasons, I probably still won't watch any games though.
I have no idea what holes the team needs filled as I stopped watching them years ago, disgusting organization. Lions do everything wrong at just the right time, like beating the Saints last year. If we would have gotten Reggie Bush I might have started to give a crap.
No Ford products for me thank you

We certainly went Defense later on; 3 Corners, a Linebacker and a Defenseive Tackle.
I like the DT pick and all the others really except for Gerald Alexander. He seems like a huge stretch: Yahoo said he is a "marginal top 250 prospect and a late second day pick," yet we got him in the second? Especially with some good corners like Hughes from Cal out there, this one baffles me. Otherwise solid

Well don't get too pumped up for this coming season or even the next because unless Kitna get injured the only reps I think Stanton is going to take the next 2 years will be pre-season games. I think the kid will have a decent future here with us having Johnson and Williams at WR and Martz running the offense. But I am pretty pumped up regarding this coming season, I'm also worried about the defense as well but they shouldn't have to be on the field this year as much as what we are used to seeing now that we finally have something that looks like a high powered offense. I know a lot of people are laughing at me for this thought, but I don't think its too much of a stretch to think we can win the NFC North this year.

I can't say that I'm not concerned about it myself, but if Johnson is as good as people say he is then Kitna isn't going to have to hold on to the ball for very long. Just snap the ball, get to to the guys and let them be the playmakers they're supposed to be.
I still see a rough schedule outside of our division, but I think we can win almost every game in our division as long as the Offensive line is half way improved. Chicago can't cover both the WRs and they won't have the offense once again to score a whole lot of points. Then there Green Bay and Minnesota, I just see no way those teams have a good season once again.
