mtrbur Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 [quote][b]LIONS ALREADY HAVE SETTLED ON SMITH?[/b] Posted by Mike Florio on March 22, 2009, 11:14 p.m. EDT Amid comments from Lions president Tom Lewand indicating that the team will talk to multiple possible candidates for the No. 1 overall pick in the draft before making a final decision, the folks at KFFL are reporting, with Salisbury-esque certainty, that Baylor tackle Jason Smith will be the pick. There’s no ambiguity in the one-sentence report: “KFFL has learned the Detroit Lions will take Baylor OT Jason Smith with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.” If the Lions already have made that decision, and if Smith is the only person with whom they plan to negotiate, then the Lions deserve to go 0-16 for sixteen more years. Frankly, we don’t think that even the Lions are quite that stupid. Our guess is that someone at KFFL has at best caught wind of the fact that the Lions are negotiating with Smith’s agent. But this hardly means that Smith is the pick. Said Lewand: “We have to have robust dialogue with the agents of the players we’re interested in. We’ve started that process and we’ve made it very clear to all of them that we have to have that as this month draws to a close.” That said, maybe Smith ultimately will be the guy. Based on Lewand’s comments, we’d be shocked if that decision already has been made.[/quote] [url="http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/22/lions-already-have-settled-on-smith/"]http://www.profootballtalk.com/2009/03/22/...ttled-on-smith/[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengaled Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 yeah, that's why they sent five people to stafford's pro day workout. that's not saying they'll draft stafford, just that their decision is far from being over and done with. i'll call this one misinformation.
