The Lions' Pride

I don't disagree that those three are at the top of my list for pure talent, but this mentality that "if we get players x, y and z, we'll be unstoppable" is rested on a false premise.

For example, you could have said that about Jones/Bolden, Redd, and Brown.... but our offense was terrific with less heralded McGloin, A-Rob (afterthought), Carter, James and Zwinack.

My point is that, out of this class, I'd love to have those three highly ranked guys, but you never know if Bench and Richy Anderson would beat out Williams and Waters, and Boyd might never see the field behind the WRs currently on the roster. Heck AB might have a hard time finding playing time over Carter and James, etc.

With that said, I'd be the first in line cheering for LOIs from Waters, Boyd and Williams--and I'm as big of an AB & Hack fan as anyone. But you just never know how kids are going to develop and grow.

Switch Hamilton and Boyd and you got it lol

You are reverting back to old rmj with that comment.

I thought both need and WANT were considered? It's just rating them... And besides, the staff should have more time to visit him now that these 3 have committed... More time for everyone really. But I know, i know... If he doesnt visit, we're out... Im still hopeful though.
