LOL I know. But I talked to the Lions beatie from the GR Press and also one of their regional scouts and they both told me Marinelli wanted Adams and won the argument with Millen.
The scout did say that the minicamp this week will be "vitally important" for George Foster. If Marinelli likes his makeup then you can be sure the pick will be Adams. If he fails to impress then Thomas is still in play. I haven't heard how the first day went yet.
Neither Joe Thomas nor Gaines Adams make much sense to me.
What's the point of DeWayne White if we're taking Gaines Adams? ESPECIALLY at the #2 spot? If it was considered ridiculous to take Mario Williams #1, how can we justify taking Adams #2 just a year later? Especially with two of Brady Quinn/Jamarcus Russell/Calvin Johnson on the board?
I don't get it. I hope the Lions are just blowing smoke, here. Is defensive end a need? Yes. Is it big enough of a need to address it #2 overall? Not unless Julius Peppers' little brother is in the draft.
