... opportunity not likely to be duplicated for years to come. For professional football enthusiasts, 2010 is a moment like no other. What this means for a team like the Detroit Lions is that past mistakes, gross incompetence, and current failures can be wiped out with one mighty stroke of boldness.

As we have not seen previously, college underclassman are declaring themselves eligible for the NFL Draft in 2010. This mass exodus of talent into the professional ranks overflow the collective pool with first round talent that is likely to slide into the mid to low end of the second round of the draft.
