Well, the Lions went and did it again.
Totally disregarding the best player in the draft (Aaron Curry), or the 2nd best player in the draft where there also happens to be a glaring need on the squad (Jason Smith), they go and throw 78 million dollars to a QB whom I am convinced is not any better than Sanchez at all, (especially in the leadership/intangibles department), and for a quarterback for whom next tight spiral I see from him on a post pattern will be the first

They plan to throw Dante Culpepper to the wolves and have him take the 60 sacks the Lions will allow this season. But with $41.7m in guaranteed money the fans will be clamoring for him the moment they go 0-2, which will be in week 2.
Culpepper hasn't been the portrait of health the last few years, so for him to even make it out of September without a destroyed knee would be shocking.

This is the highest rated receiver on basically everybody but Al Davis' draft board. Before his foot injury, there was talk of Crabtree going very early (except then he couldn't run the 40 yard dash at the combine, and some team's put a huge amount of stock in that drill). It fills a HUGE need for the Niners, who have an excellent young RB, but generally one of the worst Offenses in the league... we haven't had a true number 1 receiver since Terrell 'locker room cancer' Owens bolted on this team.
We still need a QB, and a little more strength on the O line, but this team is finally headed in the right direction.
Plus, I played football growing up, and I was a receiver. Jerry Rice is my favorite NFL player of all time... This was the player I wanted, and I figured that he would go to Oakland at #7 for sure (if he fell that far).
