I honestly think that the Lions are the most likely <.500 team to make the playoffs.

Stafford is the real deal if he's healthy. And last year they were in every game. If they can stop shooting themselves in the foot in the fourth quarter (they are notorious for this), they can go far. IMO they were just a few plays from being 8-8/9-7 last year (like how they were robbed of a win in week 1). Plus they won the last four games last year with Drew Stanton/Shawn Hill. Four wins in a row for the Lions. When was the last time that happened? Twenty years ago? T_T

Edit @ GTR: Why would the Niners take Gabbert? It seems like Alex Smith (for some reason) is Harbaugh's guy, and I don't know if Harbaugh would take a player from a gimmicky offense like Gabbert.

As a Seahawks fan this is how I voted:
Toughest Division - NFC North, because Detroit is looking better and better every year plus the Bears and Packers were playoff teams last year, not to mention the Vikings aren't that bad. Obviously some team has to suck but this is looking like the toughest division.

Weakest Division - NFC West, lol go hawks.

Best Draft Prospect - Didn't vote, don't know enough about the college game to make an educated vote.

<.500 - Other, Seahawks technically qualify and they are in a weak division and have a great chance to repeat.

Most Likely Not To Repeat - Bears, tough NFC North

Fantasy QB - Rodgers, he keeps getting better every year and his TD to Int ratio has always been great.

Fantasy HB - Peterson, I just think he'll have a better year than last year yardage wise.

Fantasy WR - Roddy White, stable QB that throws a lot of targets at him, toss up between him and Andre Johnson

Fantasy TE - Antonio Gates, always been stable and productive, some TE might have a breakout year but you can never go wrong with Gates.

Gabbert's gonna fuckin own, you watch. Peterson is supposed to be nasty, but I'd much rather have a decent QB so we can hopefull have some sembelence of an offense before Gore obliterates every joint in his body

If he does, it won't be nearly as hard as Cam will. You want Locker or a non-1st qb?? The team drafted for line, has skill pieces. It needs a qb now. The 2ndary could use work, but I really think that the D is good enough to get into the playoffs if the offense could ever put up points. Plus, Gore has a lot of tread on him at this point.

I'm happy with 0 qbs in this draft. Maybe Kapernick, but that's only because my buddy went to HS with him and I've met his family... they're cool. I'd trade for Carson Palmer or sign Hasslebeck for a year or two :/

Won't someone think of FRNAK GROE!

I don't think anyone is a true can't miss QB here. But It's really the most glaring hole on the team by far. I also think Carson is washed up. Ditto Hasselback. I mean, either would be preferable to seeing Alex Smith with the team in any capacity, but that doesn't say much.

I agree with this. I would hate to be a team that is under pressure to get a QB in this year's draft. The safest QB pick decided to stay in school for another year (Luck). I think some of the safer picks are going to come in the second tier QBs who will be average/good QBs but never great.

I'm so glad we got Sam Bradford last year, I can't imagine getting Cam Newton with hopes for a nice future up my sleeve. I'm shocked with what the Rams are getting in the draft this year, Robert Quinn and Chris Long side by side will be the 2nd QB-killing defense in league (1st Fairley and Suh). The two other picks kinda left me pissed off at first but I understand we're making these picks to polish McDaniels's system adequately. By god that game against the Shesquawks shows why were shit in scoring TDs.

The Tampa line looks pretty deadly as well (Clayborn, McCoy, Price, Bowers).
