Detroit snags Calhoun

I thought if we were going to snag a runningback in the later rounds it would be this guy. Oh well even after trading our picks we wouldn't have gotten to him. Think this will pose any threats for the NFC north? Hopefully he'll turn out to be like that other Badger guy Mr. Bennett.

I really didnt see us taking a RB anywhere near this early...with taht said Calhoun is a pretty good guy, i wish him the best of luck, except when he plays the Vikings.

All I can say is atleast they are drafting people that have some credibility.. I don't understand what the Vikings FO is thinking, but they sure are screwing this draft up. I only hope they can run a team better then they can draft. If they can't, we will be the laughing stock of football.

Well, Calhoun is going to have to split time with Kevin Jones,if he even gets to play, which will slow down the progress in both...IMO, it just hurt detroit even more to draft him!

He is definately solid, best back Barry ever had at Wisconsin, according to Barry. This would mean he tops backs like Dayne, Bennett and Anthony Davis, all solid backs, in college anyways.
