The Lions needed to come out of this year’s draft with a running back. They HAD to. The team had dropped Kevin Jones and was now left with Tatum Bell, Brian Calhoun and Aveion Cason. Yeeesh! This being the Lions, they had plenty of needs so they spent their first two picks on a gigantic offensive lineman and an outside linebacker. No problems there, at least it wasn't two wide receivers.
