Just from a casual observer, I think the Lions have had an excellent draft so far. A 3rd, 5th, and a 7th isn't that much for a 2nd. Mikel Leshoure could be an excellent complement to Jahvid Best. It seems like they're going for players they really value as opposed to trying to fill their biggest needs. This is the approach that Bill Polian seems to employ with the Colts. It used to bother me when he'd take guys like Reggie Wayne when our defense was terrible but I've come to realize he knows what he's doing. I'm not saying the Lions know what they're doing but it looks like they're going after players they really like as opposed to trying to draft players to fill their biggest needs. In the long run, I think that mentality works best.
