Nice pick by the Lions.

Can't believe the Vikings took Ponder that early. Seems like a desperation pick since they will be bringing someone in to start for them.

I am curious to see if Ingram falls to NO :D :D :D :D and if they still go Defense if he's there.

With the lockout and players not being able to be traded.... teams are stretching for QBs since they dont know if they can get Kolb or one of the other good vet QBs.... so they take a QB way too early.

This is a very good point.

I watched nearly every FSU game throughout Ponder's career

I never once thought "Hey, this guy can play in the NFL."

Anyone else think this pick to MIA will be Pouncey?

Fairley looks angry. Awesome pick by the Lions.

Suh, Fairley, and Bosch will hurt some QB's this year.

I'm sure Stafford will get hurt just watching them

He had to be too good to pass at that spot. I'm not a Fairley fan but he fits their scheme and the players around him will help him develop into a more consistent player.

I realize that but if/when they get started, people are going to be available and we know they're not going to start him unless they've lost their damn mind. Know that you're going to bring in a journeyman QB (or play Tavaris/Joe Webb) and roll the dice on getting a decent QB in the next round.

Seems like a waste of a quality pick when we know this is a weak QB class.
