remote controller 133 Posted April 19, 2006 Their first pick won't be a WR this year. No way in hell! Hawk or Huff and Hawk won't likely be there. Both would be fine players to score in this draft. Sims is an outside possibility. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sims is an outside possibility. If I were the Lions, I would be publically falling in love with Vernon Davis. Maybe they can get the Rams to bite the way Cleveland (give up a early second to move up one spot) did a couple years ago when Winslow was so coveted.

Let Da Big Dog Eat 37 Posted April 19, 2006 My guess is that Millen forgets he already drafted BMW and drafts him again but, this time as a TE. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grind 0 Posted April 19, 2006 I think ya'll are missing the boat on this one. As much as it seems the main qualification for being drafted by the Lions is the fact that the player is a WR, that is not the case. I think they really appreciate the player who hasn’t played football in a year or more even greater. Therefore, I fully expect them to selected Maurice Clarrett this year. Less is more meaning the less football you played the greater your value in the eyes of the Detroit Lion's decision makers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As far as a three year run....it may be considered as one of the all time Draft Blunders/oddities in NFL history if mike williams works out, all will be--or should be--forgiven millen concerning these wr picks. not only was mike the bpa on the lions board at pick 9 last year, the pick was made with info millen knew but we didn't: rogers had already flunked 3 drug tests. now if you want to bash him for the rogers pick, knock yourself out. but bashing him for all 3 picks is ridiculous.

49ER MAN 0 Posted April 23, 2006 I seriously doubt Davis drops to the 9th pick. Yeah, I'd tend to agree with that although if he was available for the Lions at 9, that to me would be a great pick because Pollard is no spring chicken and who else do they have at that spot? Fitzsimmons, he wouldn't scare anyone except maybe himself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How old is Pollard, 34? I thought he got hurt last year as well and Campbell doesn't provide much in the passing game. They could use an infusion of youth there but I'm sure it's not their biggest need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShaneFalco 0 Posted April 23, 2006 What do you think is the Lions biggest weakness? I know you didn't ask m(e, but I think their biggest weaknesses are: (1) O-Line (2) Secondary (3) Linebackers (4) QB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
swamp dog 0 Posted April 23, 2006 I know you didn't ask m(e, but I think their biggest weaknesses are: (1) O-Line (2) Secondary (3) Linebackers (4) QB linebacker could vault to #1 depending on the health of lehman and bailey. free safety is #2. they added about 4 bodies on o-line in the past month, so they have some depth there but it'd be nice to get an upgrade at guard in day 1 of the draft. qb? not really a weakness at this point. you can win with those guys. you don't need a manning.

Agree with thoughts about linebacker. I'm still a little concerned about our QB situation and will be until I see some results on the field. I certainly think that Kitna or McCown could be decent if not above-average, but they haven't proven much if anything o n the field yet. Kitna has been a backup for the past couple years and McCown has been average with the Cards. Don't need to address is necessarily in the draft this year, but after FS, linebacker, and o-line, it is our next biggest weakness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it's a LB they want, I don't see Hawk falling to their pick at 9 although I could see them taking Michael Huff if he's still there. The Lions could trade down a few slots and still get a solid LB, maybe an Ernie Sims, Kamerion Wimbley, Chad Greenway,someone like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Lions could trade down a few slots and still get a solid LB, maybe an Ernie Sims, Kamerion Wimbley, Chad Greenway,someone like that. there were reports i read today that if ngata fell past the bills at 8 that a few teams--most notably the ravens at 13--would be interested in trading with the lions. i still there's a 60 percent chance the lions do trade down a few spots. especially if huff and all the other usual suspects are gone.
