    Wow....pairing Nick Fairly together with Suh is almost unfair.

    Without a doubt the best pick by the Lions in an NFL draft since Barry Sanders.

    I think that the Lions were expecting to fill a big hole in the back 7 when their turn came. Amukamara another Husker was supposed to be their no brainer choice. However they expected that Fairly would be long gone by then. The better your D line the less skilled the back 7 have to be. The Lions have a very talented very deep D line. If they're all healthy and rotating you'll never get a break and if you double team one you better keep a back in to help or your QB will hopefully be under assault.
