You lost out on Vilma, but you did get a stud CB in the Rogers trade (which I personally thought you guys hosed Clevland on)

What are your thoughts on Bodden

Dawardoe

Yea, I was really disappointed about losing out from Vilma knowing that the price for him wasn't that high, also, I thought there could be a chance the Lions pushed a little to get Asante Samuel but no. Then when I saw that Rogers was supposedly was trade to the Bengs for a 3rd and 5th, I was once again disappointed that we didn't get a defensive player.

I think we got a steal with Bodden. Bodden > 5th round pick. He's not really that old and he has started almost his whole career in Cleveland. It is still obivious that we need to pick up somemore depth at CB but it doesn't look like were going to do it in FA. Rodger Cromartie, Cason could definitly end up in Detroit and my sleeper in the draft is Dwight Lowery.... he a playmaker with great ball skills.

Oh yea and I was extremly happy that the lions released Bryant! I am currently working on a somewhat realistic mock offseason for the lions.

I like the fact that we added some youth to the CB position. I figured they would bring in a washed up player.

Vilma's deal is a third this year and could be a second based on goals that he may reach

IMO that isn't a bad price even if he got hurt.

No its a 4th next year, or a third if he reaches certain milestones
