The Detroit Lions....

[NewAngler]

Is anyone else impressed with their off season? WOW.

I bet they draft Okung to protect Fancy Hair, too. Sheesh... Look out!

[Matt Fly]

LOL,  didn't fancy hair beat your team last season?  The deadskins.     ;D

[NewAngler]

Yes. It was more like we lost the game than them winning it. I forget, I got hammered.

[Jake.]

Trading away Ernie Simms for a 5th round pick?  :-X

[Sam]

They are still the Lions no matter what they do.  ;D   ;D   ;D

[Gone_Phishin]

They simply can't pass on Suh.

[Matt Fly]

Lions need to much talent to make a 180 in one year.

   Tough call, you need to protect all that guaranteed money you just paid Stafford, but guys like Suh don't come along very often.

    

 

   

   

[aarogb]

LOL at fancy hair.  I think thats the first time I have heard him called that name.

[Chris at Tech]

Please trade Calvin Johnson to a relevant team

[Matt Fly]

Gotta give the Lions front office some props, they did get over on us Cowboys with that Roy Williams deal.

   And Roy Williams is home town boy, and former Longhorn to boot, and we got the worst end of that deal thus far in my opinion.

That's what everyone thinks, but I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

I agree, Suh looks like the greatest thing since sliced bread, but its a gamble taking a DT that high.  How many cant miss tackles drafted in the top 10 have flopped over the years? More have been busts than have made an impact.

I think they'll go with a tackle, but my sleeper pick is Eric Berry.Game changing safetys are VERY rare and change franchises.

I think I need to clarify what I meant.  I would not be surprised to see the Lions pass on Suh.  Not b/c he's a risky pick (I believe he's one of two sure picks, the other being Berry), but b/c it's the Lions, they don't make many good decisions.

x2 I would love to see Brady throwing passes to him.  ;D

The Patriots are already set at WR. Trade Johnson to the Chargers.  8-)

If they don't take Okung, Matt Millen must still be behing the scenes. A big run on OT's is expected in the top 15 picks, and there are going to be some very good DT's in the 2nd and 3rd round. Detroits current LT is Jeff Backus who is a better fit at LG, and they need a guy who protect there grossly overpayed QB. A guy like Tyson Alualu would be nice to have at DE opposite KVB, and with Sammie Lee Parker and Corey Williams in the middle would make a sick Dline.

That is all

[Matt Fly]

Seems Detroit is trying to get Haynesworth from the Skins.   Word is Skins trying to deal him cheap.

   If Lions took him, they'd most likely address that LT issue.

   MY Boys are rumored to being trying to trade Carpenter, Spears and Bennett to move up.   I think Dallas would like to get UT safety Earl Thomas around 12-15th round.

[OIFBasser]

Earl Thomas is gonna be sweet, I also read that  Choice is on that list. I know they would like to trade Barber, but he is already showing signs of wearing down, and won't net as high of a pick.

if the Lions get Haynesworth...It's gonna be fun to see.

[Glenn]

'Hawks got Thomas AND Okung. 

[detroit1]

Lets not lose our heads about the lions trading Megatron. Never happen. The same with a 180' turnaround. But- with the trades and the draft, they are going to be ALOT better. Our secondary will not have to cover recievers for 10 seconds every play. Yes, they are still many players away from making a stink, (o-line and LB's ) but i haven't been this excited for the season to start in quite a few years. I can't believe this will be my 30th year with season tickets. 1 home play-off win. SHEEEESH!
