| Lions 2011 draft class hasn't lived up to expectations
APLions defensive tackle Nick Fairley probably had a point last week when he said he and Ndamukong Suh were the best pair at their position in the league.But he’s also part of a less-distinguished record for the team.As noted by Anwar Richardson of MLive.com, Fairley’s part of a 2011 Lions draft class that has woefully underperformed and embarrassed the organization off the field.Fairley's play has been good, but his two arrests have him tied for second in his class. Former second-rounder Titus Young leads the way with three, and fellow second-rounder Mikel Leshoure has two also.In fact,[url=http://www.panyam.com/]gucci outlet store[/url], fifth-round linebacker Doug Hogue’s the only member of the five-man class who hasn’t been arrested since joining the league, since seventh-rounder Johnny Culbreath had one. Hogue’s with the Panthers now, and Fairley and Leshoure are the only players left on the Lions roster at this point.That might not be Matt Millen-esque, but it is an embarrassing collection of choices by General Manager Martin Mayhew, and the fact they signed Reggie Bush this offseason further diminishes any impact Leshoure might have.The Lions were aggressive making moves this offseason,[url=http://www.ewwealth.com/]christian louboutin discount[/url], and they probably should. Anything to keep from thinking about their recent past can’t hurt. |
