2009 Lions Draft Grades
For a first effort, I believe this front office and coaching staff did somewhat poorly. They overpaid for their prized first pick, they ignored the defenses most glaring need, despite
having ample opportunity to pick up a player to fill that middle linebacker spot who is more than capable of starting on day one, and they seemed determined to stick to their plan of
taking the best player on their board, instead of taking the player who will be the most valuable to the team. The team failed to get another pass rusher, which should have been considered.
Lionbacker's Micheal Morelli grades the Lions selections pick by pick and gives you his choices at each spot.

Lions go Local, Delmas in Round Two
With the 33rd pick in the 2009 NFL draft the Detroit Lions choose Louis Delmas, safety, Western Michigan. Delmas was considered the best safety prospect in the draft and projects at both free
and strong safety.

Pettigrew is Pick Two
With the 20th pick in the 2009 NFL draft the Detroit Lions choose Brandon Pettigrew, tight end, Oklahoma State. There was little doubt that Pettigrew was the best tight end in the draft and
one of the few who excels both blocking and in the passing game.

Stafford's the Choice
With the first pick in the 2009 NFL draft the Detroit Lions choose Matthew Stafford, quarterback, Georgia. It isn't exactly a surprise and it isn't exactly what most fans had hope to hear.
But the reality is, the Lions have made Matt Stafford the first overall pick.

Lionbacker's Michael Morelli gives you the final version of his 2009 NFL mock draft and he just might no be thrilled by who has has the Detroit Lions selecting with the first overall pick on
Saturday. But this mock is about accuracy, not what he wants.
