Lions in 2012 rankings were;
Offense was 17th at 23.2 points per game. Baltimore is ranked number ten at 24.9 points per game. San Francisco is ranked 11 at 24.8 points per game. In order for the Lions to match the offensive numbers of the Superbowl teams would require an addition two points.
Defense was 27th at 27.3 points per game. Baltimore is ranked 12 at 21.5 points per game. San Francisco is ranked number two at 17.1 points per game. In order for the Lions to match the defensive numbers of the Superbowl teams would require an additional touchdown to a touchdown and a half.
If these idiots draft mostly offense         |

Draft suggestion;
1. DE - Bjoern/Moore or trade down for Ansah.
2. CB or FS - CB - Desmond Trufont or FS - Vaccaro/Phillip Thomas.
3. RG - Larry Warford or RT - Dallas Thomas or CB/KR - Robert Alford
4. Comp - WLB - Zaviar Gooden/Sio Moore or WR - Chris Harper.
5. RB - Jonathan Franklin or Kenjon Barner or CB - Dwayne Gratz.
6. Punter
7. Who cares.......... |

Well neither of the Super Bowl teams are built on offense, but others have. Also, both have great offensive lines and can run the ball, which eats up clock, which gets first downs and keeps the defense off the field. We have a lot invested into our offense and we could more easily move that offense ranking into the top 5. The defense will improve as well if they don't have to be on the field as much. We lost three or four games on final drives because we couldn't run for a first down and the other team scored a TD. That wouldn't happen with a better interior line.

| I think it would be more ideal if we could upgrade from Cherilus into Andre Smith. |

I don't think that's much of an upgrade. Maybe in the run game but is a downgrade in pass protection.

Slim, I guarantee that if we draft Warmack and Jones in the first two rounds, our defensive will fall further down.
Would you trade San Francisco's entire team for ours? |

Yeah, but we can't do that. I would also trade for New England or Atlanta who were offensive centered teams. If we improve our run game and ability to control the clock, have less three and outs, improve the field position..... Our defensive statistics would improve as would our record.

... when has Fox shown, at any point, that he could be anything close to what Gosder is right now?

When has he had the opportunity to show that? However backups become starters all the time in the NFL with limited exposure.

Or possibly Goz leaves and Rieff takes over RT with the Lions drafting Joeckel or Fisher to man LT?

I'd rather stick with Reiff at LT and work on getting a quality G and C |

When has he had the opportunity? Well, he was drafted in 2010. He couldn't stay healthy, and wasn't a threat to take snaps during the rare stretches that he was healthy.
Gosder, on the other hand, has emerged as a pretty good player at the position.
I have no idea why many think that Fox can step in and be a pretty good player... it's just not that easy, nor is it likely. Doing this would be a significant mistake.

I agree. Fox may well have that ability and I would love to know, but if he was better than or even close to as good as Goz, I am assuming he would have gotten some snaps. I liked the draft pick, and would be ok with giving him a shot to win the RT spot, but I would not be comfortable planning on him being our RT.
