The second pick in the 2010 NFL Draft is Ndamukong Suh from the Nebraska Cornhuskers. The Lions new rookie will contribute as soon as the season starts. The one major problem the Lions had was on the defensive line. The Lions select a player that has tremendous power and can put constant pressure on quarterbacks in the backfield. He can actually be an anchor to a team that can use change now. The Michigan area can now appreciate football again!
Last year I thought the Lions drafted well getting The best rated safety (Delmas), QB (Stafford) and tight end ( Pettigrew ). This year potentially the best player in the draft is in Detroit and also a great running back in Jahvid Best. With some good free agent pick ups accross the defensive line in Kyle Vanden Bosch and Corey Williams I think the defensive line could be an area of strength now rather than weakness. Schwartz and the front office are doing a great job I think. Nice column T.P.
