Lions top pick arrested before draft
Lions rookie Jordon Dizon was arrested April 20 on suspicion of drunk driving, driving the wrong way on a one-way street and failure to provide insurance, the Boulder (Colo.) Daily Camera newspaper reported on its Web site late Monday night. Dizon was arrested six days before the Detroit Lions drafted him in the second round of the NFL draft. The Lions drafted him because he had the football character coach Rod Marinelli says he wants, meaning a love of the game and a relentless work ethic. But he values chemistry in the locker room.

Can we finally admit that Millen has no idea what he is doing? And why are we just hearing about it now? If he knew he was going to the Lions that would at least explain the drinking!

Colorado LB Jordan Dizon Scouting Report
Height: 6-0, Weight: 231, 40 Yard Dash: 4.75
Strengths: Experienced starter???extremely productive at Colorado with almost 300 tackles the last two years...good range with sideline to sideline type speed???high motor, team leader type???ideal player for special team coverage???
Weaknesses: Undersized???not the best in coverage, a bit stiff in the hips???lacks ideal strength and will be able to be run at???maybe a bit of a S/LB tweener???struggles when trying to fight through traffic???does not have the ideal frame or bulk???
Overall: Jordan Dizon is another example of a productive college player who does not project well to the NFL level. He lacks the strength and bulk to play outside linebacker at the NFL level in a traditional scheme but does not have the coverage skills to play LB in a Cover 2 or transition to a safety position. However, he does have good special teams ability and should at least b e reliable backup.

Shouldn't this story have been posted when it happened instead of about two and a half months later?
