After Matthew Stafford, Lions Draft Brandon Pettigrew, Louis Delmas

The Detroit Lions took all the suspense out of the first pick in Saturday's NFL draft by signing quarterback Matthew Stafford to a six-year contract Friday night. But the Lions made a couple of surprising picks later in the day, drafting Brandon Pettigrew with the 20th pick and Louis Delmas with the 33rd.

Pettigrew is a talented tight end from Oklahoma State who will be a good target for Stafford, but I'm not convnced he was the right pick at 20. I would have preferred a player like Florida wide receiver Percy Harvin or Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis.

Laughingstock Lions Hold All the Cards


We still don't know who the Detroit Lions will choose as the first pick in Saturday's NFL draft, and it will be a couple years, at least, before we know whether that first overall pick was a wise choice or a bust. But we already know one thing for sure: The Lions have done a good job of using the local media to send up smokescreens about their intentions.
