Stupid Detroit Lions

[Brando19]

Good God that would be a WR tandem of Roy Williams and CJ!

Yeah...but who's gonna run the ball to take pressure off them? Who's gonna throw these receivers the ball? Who's gonna protect the QB that throws these receivers the ball? These are definitely things that need to be addressed before another 1st round WR.

they have kevin jones, who's good if he can get healthy and they also just got tatem bell. so they should be ok at RB

kitna is a decent QB, he's not a world beater, but he's not horrible either

and they have started to improve that line

they're starting to get talent on that team, one of these years the light might go on and they'll shock us all

I think you can say that about any position they fill. There are lots of holes on that team. Might as well take a potential franchise player - and hope the GM next year can start filling in the missing pieces. This is one of those opportunities for Millen. If I was a Lion fan I would be thinking 'Even Millen can't screw this one up.'

Actually, I guess I wouldn't put it past him.

Scott Mitchell?

Re: Stupid Detroit Lions

Jo-Ann Barnas, of Detroit Free Press, reports Detroit Lions QB Jon Kitna would like to see the Lions select Georgia Tech WR Calvin Johnson if he is available at the number two pick.

Well duh. He's not going to endorse Brady Quinn.

[esoxx]

They rarely reached 10 wins in a season with Sanders in his prime. I doubt at age 38 he could work miracles.

It was a joke.

So was my reply. :P

Well there is a guy out there by the name of Joe Thomas who could help Kitna stay on his feet instead of on the ground with a 300+ lb lineman on his back.

I'm guessing he'd rate Thomas ahead of Brady Quinn too. I'm guessing Kitna would rate just about anyone ahead of Brady.

[woodbuck27]

I thought they had traded for Carr. Lol....

He'd be a fit there.

Apparently we have a closet Twins fan?

[Fritz]

The only ways that Millen is "screwed" on his first round pick is if Calvin Johnson is sitting there at #2 and the Lions simply pass on him - he's incredible - or if they trade down, hoping to get Thomas, but then don't get him and end up with a clunker defensive lineman.

This is the time Millen SHOULD take a wide receiver, because this guy is not just another first round receiver. He's the real deal.

[Cleft Crusty]

What is obviously clear is that Millen is the finest GM in profession sports today. he's just been unlucky with injuries and players and coaches who thought they could coast. Next to Millen, the next best GM you could ask for would be Bill Romanowski - at least he'd be able to hop his team up on amphetamines (oops, I meant chicken noodle soup) to enhance their performances. But Millen has the advantage of all that advice from Dick Stockton and James Brown.

BTW, I'm benching 280 and looking forward to visting some run-down 'historic' high school football field next month.

don't be surprised if Detroit lands a ton of draft picks from Atlanta for Calvin Johnson. Just a hunch...

Is their first, two seconds this year, and a second next year enough to move up?

picks 9, 41, 43 and a number 2 next year for #2.

Seems like a very bad trade.
