Care to bet that the Lions would like to have taken Suggs or Barnett instead of Rodgers, just for one example?

First of all, Suggs was a DE in college. Second of all, Suggs would have been a disaster in Detroit, given that they run a 4-3.
Finally, Barnett's a decent player. But a top 3 pick and top 3 money? You must be outside your mind. The Lions probably regret the Rogers pick, but not because they passed on Nick Barnett. There are dozens of other names you would put above that. The funny thing is, one of the few draft picks they hit on was Ernie Sims. He's obviously been a very big difference maker for that franchise.
