I have seen alot of Stafford in college and he is lacking that "it" factor. He will probably be a serviceable player, but not a consistent Pro Bowler and certainly not worth the first pick in the draft.:D
Who else thinks the Lions screwed up with the 1st pick?

If they play him in his rookie year, they will screw up the pick.

Who knows...time will tell....but they better get a LT...or get alot of insurance for the QB.
well,with the level of talent on that team he won't be able to help much.

Stafford will be the next joey harrington. hes gonna set the lions back 5 years. they should have gone with aaron curry or jason smith.
Why not? They are going to suck again if they don't take care of their lines.

He's the right fit for them , but he needs to sit a year my opinion.
I think alot of it depends on what they do with the rest of their draft.
IF they set him up for success by drafting some O-line help, I think he will do ok (Not $42m worth, but not a complete bust.)
IF they make poor picks or neglect the O-line, he will have problems.
They may be smart to go after a high caliber TE as well. Pair up a Pettigrew or Ingram with Calvin Johnson and he has the weapons to go to, but again, the biggest question will be if he has the protection or not.

Won't know for 3 or 4 years. Kid has great physical skills but I'm not all that impressed with his mental make up. I would play Culpepper in the first year, as whomever is back there this year is going to get killed. I can eventually see him pairing up really well with Calvin Johnson as that guy is unstoppable and Stafford has a cannon.
Personally the safer pick was the LT.

I think they screwed up. They're just another team with the #1 pick who needed a quarterback so they reached for one.
