The draft is over, so all the college players with NFL dreams who didn't get drafted now get to see if they still have a chance at making an NFL team. I was surprised when I checked in on the draft and saw that MSU's Jehuu Caulcrick wasn't drafted. Now, I'm no NFL executive, but if I was the Lions I'd try and sign this guy right now. They don't have a lot of depth at the moment, and I'm not convinced that a rookie from Central Florida will fill all their needs in the running game. Signing these guys costs relatively little, so what's the risk? Side note: The Sports Inc. bio for Jehuu says that he doesn't have "prototypical power". I'm sure you can knock him for many things, but lack of power? Have these guys seen him play? So, who should I believe, Scouts Inc. or my lying eyes?
In case you're wondering, UM running back Mike Hart was taken in the 6th round by the Colts.
UPDATE: The Lions are really satisfied with Tatum Bell (who was mostly benched last season), Kevin Smith, Brian Calhoun, and Aveion Cason (who they've cut before)? RB coach Sam Gash says he looking for "the cream to rise to the top". Uhh, what if there's no cream? By the way, the Lions plan on using a FB again. You think Jon Bradley, Sean McHugh, and Jerome Felton can play as well as Schlesinger used to? Me neither. I feel 6-10 coming on.
