It seem to me like Mayhew thinks more of Culpepper than others do.<BR/>CaputoPat Caputohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102662407927366439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29764383.post-59777201483342798592009-03-04T20:41:00.000-05:002009-03-04T20:41:00.000-05:00Glen J.

Miner has usually been better as a starter and it doesn't seem to me like Robertson has the makeup for the bullpen.

Especially the way the team performed against Cleveland. It will probably define him with this club. <BR/><BR/>You know book there is so many things being thrown at the lions. One thing I was wondering would the lions be interested at all if they can reach a cheap deal in bringing in a guy like Derrick Brooks?

I agree with you that Curry is the pick at one, then take a defensive tackle at twenty to build a credible run defence. Worry about the offensive tackle at thirty-three.<BR/>By the way, I sent you an email yesterday that nailed Don Banks' draft picks for the Lions. I Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
