He would definitely start the season on the PUP list again and would be lucky to have any speed in 2009. He will be a non-factor in 2008 is everyone, who hates this move, aware that Jones tore his ACL toward the end of last year? a Lis franc sprain and a torn ACL.

Keep an eye on Calhoun...he may be shown the door soon too. He's been in the league 2 years and has been on the DL both of them. With two picks in Round 3 look for the Lions to use one as a trade chip to move up or to draft somebody like Ray Rice.

This is Rod's way of forcing Millen to draft to fit the team, not draft for the so-called best player available. On another note, Florio, I love you, but your comment that this hurts detroit's ability to draft a RB because other teams will see it coming is way off base. Kevin Smith, Chris Johnson, Ray Rice, Tashard Choice, Xavier Omon - all these guys will be effective starters in the NFL, and all will be available some time between rounds 2-5. Hell, if the starter for Detroit is only going to get 15 carries a game, then why not take Mike Hart in round 3? His leadership would go a long way toward trying to fix Detroit.

No Favre in Green Bay means No QB and RB (not sold on Rodgers or Grant yet) the Bears have no QB, no RB, and no WRs. The Vikings have no QB and no Wrs. Now the Lions arguably have no QB (Kitna isn't that good) and no RB. Is the NFC North possibly the worst offensive division in football?

If Dallas could pair Kevin Jones with Barber III, that could make a very nice duo. Jones wouldn't have to do the heavy carrying and he could become the back that many thought he could be, albeit on a part-time basis while sharing the load with Barber. As for the Lions Fans out there... Beer. Lots and lots of beer. I was thinking the same thing as DCFanatic. If Dallas could pair Kevin Jones with Barber III, that could make a very nice duo.

He's worth a look see because when he's healthy, which is not very often in his short NFL career, he's an above average RB for sure.

That team is cursed as it is, and on top of it they have a stiff like Millen pulling the strings. What a joke of a franchise. I can't believe the NFL and TV networks let the Lions play every Thanksgiving Day game. I'd rather watch a 5 year olds play T-Ball for 4 hours than to watch the Lions.
