beardown;
These Lions fans are just so stupid...they are actually funny. When was the last time a team made a significant improvement (in win/loss record wise) just because they drafted "two college playmakers."
Man...the look on their faces will be priceless when Jones/Williams FAILED to live up to expectations in the rookie seasons.

I'm not sure what is funnier about this post (that i stole from the ESPN board). If its that this guy thinks two rookies CANT make a differance, or if its funnier that he thinks that is all the Lions did to improve this offseason was add 2 playmakers in the draft.
For starters, we did get the best lineman available in FA. One that was also coveted by the Bears.
second, we went out and got the best "cover corner" in FA to go with one of the best "playmaking" corners in the league last year.
third, we shored up an already impressive defensive backfield by signing a probowl safety.
This of course doesnt even take into account the other little additions that will make this team a WHOLE lot better, and deeper.
So, I suppose that if i had to answer the question of "
When was the last time a team made a significant improvement (in win/loss record wise) just because they drafted "two college playmakers."
I would answer probably never. however, that wouldnt describe the Lions because they did do a hell of alot more to improve than just add 2 playmakers through the draft.
DOHHHHHHH
