Fucking Lions. If we would have lost to NO, we would have had Bush. FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And Brian Calhoun in the 3rd? WTF?

There is no reason to take a backup RB when the highest rated OG (Giles) is still on the board. Who the fuck is going to block for him?

On ESPN Radio, John Clayton said Millen had 3 offers to trade back in the first round and refused. I agree that Sims wasn't a need but at the same time I like that we got a top LB. With that said I think Millen dropped the ball by not trying to move up to get Justice in the second and Spencer or Winston in the third.

The Lions took Brian Calhoun over Gabe Watson, Max-Jean Giles and Alan Zemaitis.

You guys do know what system our defense will be, and just how not suited our LB corp was for the job - right?

[WTFchris]

I liked the first two picks. I think you will be pleasently surprised with Bullocks. Simms is the perfect player if healthy, which worries me. I don't get Calhoun. Giles was the pick there, or a CB, or even a TE. What are we going to do with Calhoun? Why did we sign Harris? What is the point of Pinner? Bryson? Uhg.

I like Calhoun, maybe not over Watson or Giles, but I am not convinced we will not need him. KJ has yet to prove he is durable, he has failed to stay healthy for all 16 games. From all that has been said Corey doesn't fit the offense and will likley be cut or be a back up. Bryson is likely the second HB inthe backfield or starting FB, depending what Martz calls it so that leaves only Pinner and Harris. Harris is mainly a return guy. So if KJ goes down the depth isn't the greatest. Hell if NO can have Bush and Duece, it can't hurt to have two quality backs.

and leave gabe watson alone in the next round. if things keep working out as they have been. Oakland will hopefully snag him too.

Oakland has done a great job so far. My favorites are NYJ, GB and Philly. I think GB and NYJ did a great job of addressing their needs.

I like the guys the Lions picked up but I see why people are pissed. I would say the talent so far for Detroit is a B+ to A- but interms of helping fill holes and fix key areas that were weak my grade is D to C-. If Millen had any sense he would try to make a deal for a pair of fourths for a 2007 3rd and 06 6th. Like H1 said there is still quality out there.

see the lions picked how people thought we would. but i know better. i never understand how professional scouts and gm's get caught up in fantasy football type hype and dont draft the players who meet their needs first. NE is great at that. GB has done that this year and so has OAK.
