So many mistakes, so little time......

It is so crazy to me to look over the past regime and see all of the mistakes. The drafts have been futile. Here are just a few....Drew Stanton instead of David Harris, Mike Williams, Jordan Dizon, Last Year's WR pick (4th or 5th) that was cut....the list goes on. It just stresses the importance of having a good draft.

I have created this poll of which scenaro is the best, you tell me??

I like option 1

But I still wouldn’t mind seeing Detroit try and drop a few spots from #20 and pick up a couple extra picks later on. It all depends who’s available when the clock starts ticking on pick #20.

None of the above.

Where's the DL????

Need to draft Peria Jerry if available, or Ron Brace…. LB and OL ain’t gonna cut it.

Plus, a big fat NO to andre smith.

These are all Millen approved options

Come on, Andre Smith is a disaster waiting to happen. I would not take him until the fifth round. Sanchez and Maualuga will be gone by the twentieth pick, and Lauriniatis and Cushing and V. Davis are unlikely to make it to the second round.

And most importantly, like CLF says, WHERE IS THE DT?!?

how about...

Round 1(1) Jason Smith or Eugene Monroe
Round 1(20) Rey Maualuga or James Lauarainitus in that order of availability. Trade down for a extra 2nd round pick
Round 2(33) Best CB available
Round 2(??) Ron Brace

In my opinion this would be the best scenario, and unlike trading no.1 pick, is realistic. This would address the glaring issues and would give us more options in round 3. We could pick up a TE or WR, look at the Oline again, or preferably pick up more defense.
