    If they were so adamant about not taking guys with off-the-field issues, why did they take Sims?

    Millen should still be canned. This draft is pretty bad, even for the Lions.
    I think we did pretty good. Nothing too flashy, but we got solid, starting caliber players that we needed. I think we did great, actually. Sims is going to make some noise and Bullocks is a player. He's going to surprise some people. How the hell can you complain about a seventh rounder?? What's wrong with you??
    LOL. Compliment, not a complaint.

    For the same reason we took a RB even though the intend or already re-signed Pinner, Bryson and Harris. This is the Lions, this is Matt Millen. I think they look at Sims family and the fact that his father is a preacher and perhaps looked past his day in the life of Jason Kidd. Also, one issue he didn't have is hard work. A knock on both Jimmy Williams and Winston Justice.
