I think a lot of teams are going to rue their decision, IIRC he was at worst a second round pick before he went to England.

True, pretty clear the kid had his head on straight even before he went to England for a year.

You were clearly on drugs when you posted this.
Quick- Name a Detroit cornerback.
Exactly. At least I've heard of two Detroit LB's. Having one hole at a position is an upgrade for the Detroit defense. The only two things being looked at the #34 spot were cornerback and running back. Corner for what I just said, and running back because if you don't get the offense moving in a hurry, Calvin Johnson is bailing on this team. They're set with recievers, but they needed a RB not named Maurice freaking Morris that could carry the ball, and preferably a RB faster than a 4.6 like Kevin Smith.
The only CB available even at 30 was Patrick Robinson. I've watched Florida State football for the last 21 years or so. He's not exactly Deion Sanders. Heck, he's not even Terrell Buckley. That left a RB, and there's a massive gap between Best's upside and say, Toby Gerhardt.
Now, you hope that the coaches watching Suh dismantle the O-line convinces them to take some tackles or guards with the top ten pick next year.
The irritating thing now is the Cromartie non-trade, since a starting CB> a time-splitting RB in Morris.

It's Dre Bly, which is an upgrade. Of course at this point, Robert Byrd's corpse would be an upgrade at CB.

He was terrible when he left Detroit years ago. How much worse is he now? Christ.

I remember him as the best of a truly terrible group, which hasn't gotten better since. If it has, he'll be a backup and "veteran leadership".

Daniel Bullock released
And with that, the entire Matt Millen drafts from 2002-2006 are now purged from the roster.
