Quote:That's actually a very good comparison. They both have that sort of lean-ish build about them, but solid hands and solid speed. It'll be interesting what happens. I could easily see your Lions taking him or one of the other receivers (maybe Robinson from PSU). To complement some guy named Calvin (heard he's pretty ok).

 

Thanks. 

 

The Lions need a long term solution opposite Calvin Johnson.  It could easily be the # 1 need for the team going into the Draft.  Nate Burleson will be 33 next year.  There's no other WR on the Lions roster that has demonstrated that he can be remotely close to a very good solution for the # 2 WR spot on the team.

 

 I mentioned this in another mock draft thread a few weeks ago but it comes to mind here as well.  The Lions need a Titus Young type of WR without the massive baggage.  If Young had good football character,  he would still be with the team and likely would be thriving.  It turned into a huge mistake by Martin Mayhew for taking Titus Young instead of Torrey Smith or Randall Cobb.
