The Smoke screen could be related to contract talks. Maybe The Lions are REALLY planning on taking Stafford and by throwing the news that Culpepper will be the starter and they want to fix the O and D lines before anything maybe they are trying to see if Stafford bites and takes a smaller contract, because if he doesn't get picked first he would drop a few spots and not get paid 1st pick overall money anyways.

IF NOT,

The Lions should actually take to ALL FOUR of the top LT's agents (Smith,Smith,Oher, and Monroe) and start a bidding war. Who ever agrees to the lowest contract is who the Lions draft #1 hehe. Would be really smart IMO and honestly its a toss up between all 4 LT's who is the best.
