How about them lions? getting better?

The Detroit Lions are getting better. Like you mentioned they added a Outside Line Backer, in Julian Peterson who was a Pro Bowler as a Seattle Seahawk. He instantly upgrades the Linebacking Corp for the Lions. Corner Back, Phillip Buchanon was a good pickup from the Bucaneers. Look for him to make some plays this season. In the Draft it was good to take a Franchise Quarter Back, in Matthew Stafford as a start. Although I was surprised with the selections the Lions took with their third draft by not going for high draft prospect Line Backer, Rey Maualuga, instead taking Safty, Louis Delmas. They could have made the face of their defense by taking Maualuga. If the Lions can upgrade the Offensive Line that would boost the team "worst" to "average". Not to mention they have an elite Wide Receiver in, Calvin Johnson. Overall this offseason proved to be a good one. With fresh young draft picks and smart veterans this is an improved team.
