I would love that one of the QB are there and trade with Minn for there 1st and 1 of there 2nd and one of there 3rds.

Huff or Bunkley would be my thoughts for the Lions.

 

They need interior d line man -- Big Daddy isn't cutting it anymore

[Mack 1 6]

...the lions draft board goes hawk, sims, huff--in that order

 

Sims? This guy has had, what, five concussions during his college career? To me, that would be more of a concern than if he were coming off an ankle or knee injury. At least time can heal those wounds; having a few marbles rolling around upstairs, however, is another story altogether.

 

It's the Lions, though; it shouldn't make sense.

Wilkinson had a great year, but he is about done. Bunkley and Rogers could be a great combo.

they also have shaun cody, a high 2nd-round pick last year who is very promising.

Huff or Justice more need. But still would like to trade down,

I agree. Cody showed some nice bullrushes last year. Work on his technique more, instead of just relying on "full steam ahead", he and Rogers would make a nice interior for a long time.

 

I would take Justice in a heartbeat. Wish we had enough firepower to move up for Ferguson.

 

Drafting an Olineman is boring for draft coverage, but I dont think there is anything they need more badly

[swirvenirvin 25]

Do you think someone would kill Millen if he drafted a QB in the 1st

[Swagger 0]

Huff to keep the UT Karma going....

 

43 Matthews, Will FB 6'03" 250 04/30/1981 1 Texas

78 Redding, Cory DE 6'04'' 290 11/15/1980 4 Texas

92 Rogers, ShaunDT 6'04'' 345 03/12/1979 6 Texas

11 Williams, Roy WR 6'02" 212 12/20/1981 3 Texas

Some NFL people are saying that Justice maybe better than DBRick when all said and done.

 

Again Trade with the Vikings and take the 17th a 2nd and a 3rd.

 

Vikings have 2-2nd and 2-3rds and are said to want one of the top 3 QB's

 

You know what kills me is that is Joey throws an interception or airmails a pass against the Saint in the last drive of that game we would be sitting on Reggie Bush with the 2nd pick right now. Image the trade offers we would get.

[EAwer 1]

my (realistic) board for us right now is pretty obv

1)hawk

2)huff

3)trade down

4)Bunkley

5)Justice

 

I will be pissed if we draft a QB, hopefully Rod would kill Millen before he did that

[Walter34 3]

I would say Justice then Huff would be the wise choices.

Kitna is not a long term solution, but I would wait to see what McCown has. A qb isnt out of the question though.

[EAwer 1]

first round QBs DONT WIN PLAYOFF GAMES!!!!!!!!(except for Ben and these guy are definitely NOT Ben

nobody talks about orlovsky. he's in the mix, too.

No one is talking about Shaun King either so there is a reason.

[swamp dog 0]

i'm not saying orlovsky is going to be good--we don't know. hence, my point: let's see what he's got.

 

king is king: his pluses and minuses are pretty much known.

[pipeman 16]

Something tells me Huff goes off the board to Oakland, and the Lion's choice to trade down becomes easier. What would Denver have to come up with to trade up?

I keep saying Vikings. They have 2-2nds an 2 3rds. We trade down to 17 and get a 2 and a 3.

If the Lions would of lost to the Saints they would of had the #2 pick and Reggie Bush would of been the perfect fit for Martz's offense

[Cdub100 3,428]

Shawn Rogers said he should of made the probowl instead of him. So you have no idea what you're talking about

[Staubach the Great 0]

Take Leinart. New coach, and too much potential to pass up. Lions have the next best need at QB.

[Looseafir 3]

Yes I posted it a few post back already.

And we also have S Cody. LB, S and OL are bigger needs than QB or DL.

[Lions_or_Die 0]

Huff would be a mistake. Trade down for more picks or take Hawk if he is there.

[Looseafir 3]

How is Huff a mistake? Best player at his position in a position of need.

[swamp dog 0]

bunkley or a trade down now that huff is gone. if they like sims they can get him a bit lower.

OH NOOOO Huff is gone, please no Earnie Sims with the marbels rattling in his head.

 

T R A D E D O W N N O W!!!!!!!

[Thin Spirit 0]

They are gonna reach for Sims, and we all know it.

 

Could they go for Justice? That line could use an upgrade...

it was looking unrealistic this past week that huff was going to be there. and killer claims the lions have sims higher on their board. we'll see.

 

i'm surprised we haven't seen any trades through 7 picks...never would have predicted that.

[swirvenirvin 25]

stupid OAKLAND

WTF you have NO QB

[Walter34 3]

sims or qb or justice?

 

Not the best scenario, though I think oline would be a boring pick, but the best one.

i think they want to desperately trade down if possible now.

[coryjagfan28 0]

Lienhart?

[swamp dog 0]

Lienhart?

 

i would seriously have to consider...after years attempting to back them on this board...make the lions dead to me if that happened.

[Looseafir 3]

stupid OAKLAND

They drafted Walters last year and have A Brooks. I think they will take one in the 2nd, there secondary was the worst in the NFL.

[swamp dog 0]

trade down trade down trade down trade down...

[Looseafir 3]

Wow we got a break with Bunkley and Lienart still there a trade is now more likely.
