2010 Lions Offseason

[Tahoe]

Under the current regime, you get the feeling every little move was done for a reason, after doing their scouting and identifying good players. You get the feeling Millen was just throwing darts at Mel Kiper's big board, drafting and signing wherever the darts led him.

I agree. Its like they are getting contracts on guys they want to keep who have been available...regardless of position. While rotating some guys through other positions hoping to get a lil lucky and discover someone.

They can't fix this mess in a couple of seasons.

I read 5th rounder.

And swap 6ths in 2010.

[Tahoe]

With Houston and Wade on board, the team might cool its interest in free-agent CB Lito Sheppard, though the position remains a need.
Houston was a second-round pick in 2007, and Wade was a third-rounder the same year

Either didn't know we were after Lito or forgot.

And swap 6ths in 2010.

False.

Paragraph 3.

Correction posted where I read it.

You might be correct for a change.

Now the site says a 5th and a 6th. They're all fucked up.

Either way I like it. I remember reading that in his draft profile (sucks in zone but a solid man CB). Wasn't he lightning fast too at the combine?

[Tahoe]

I think I read that about being really fast at the combine too.

[WTFchris]

2nd fastest at combine overall:

It says only 11 of the 40 DL and 22 of the 58 OL could bench more.

Thoughts on this...

No trades come our way and Suh or McBoy is there and the Rams have already inked Bradford, do you think the Lions might also try to negotiate with a top OT hoping to get one to take a lesser contract?

I can't remember if the Lions can negotiate once the Rams have signed their guy or not though.
