I also believe the first 4 picks should be OL/DL maybe a LB. Line play wins in NFL WR, RB are a dime a dozen and the big names change every year whom the "greatest" is. Give any QB time and the WR / QB and RB all look like studs.
The key to a great QB is presence and pocket awareness that can not be taught, you have it or you do not. No QB worth the risk this year coming out. Even if there was the porous OL would get him killed.

I would be careful about Smith, he missed a BCS Bowl game for contact with agents.
Not a real smart thing to do, either he is a idiot and or his agents are shady either way Take a real good look at him, his associations and Wunderlick scores. #1 picks make serious money the LIE-DOWNS can not afford another first round draft pick bust.

Like the coaching hires so far, defensive focus. A better defense and the Lions become competitive Backus, Raiola, Cherilus ( spelling? on all ) are decent if the Lions are not playing from 21 down after first quarter. Orlovsky is my pick for the next year until skill is raised through out roster, then see if he has developed enough to be a starter long term. The defense was last in league this has to be addressed. Do not resign Culpepper been useless for 4-5 years way to much money for lack of production. Possibly a good older QB available later in spring training as insurance if Orlovsky, and Stanton are failing badly. Need to find out if these guys can play sometime and I feel Orlovsky is sound not outstanding, this will suffice while team gets a personality and a direction.
