This draft has kept me from doing my HW

I wonder if the teacher will understand

Oh man

Better tell him that you’re a NE fan or something otherwise he’s gonna have expected you to quit watching halfway through Saturday

Darius Passmore

We should draft him because he has the coolest name of any prospect

by detpistons3 on Apr 26, 2009 5:46 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

What is he?

A QB or WR? If not then the name doesn’t fit…

by ZWC11 on Apr 26, 2009 5:47 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Grraham Gano K

At least with our track record, he would be a future starter

by Liontotheextreme on Apr 26, 2009 5:48 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I find it interesting to look

at the perennial top teams in the AFC and see what they drafted. Pittsburgh, NE, Baltimore. Predominantly D and OL. Guess we know their priorities.

by WBL on Apr 26, 2009 5:49 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

WOW! Detroit has reached a new low

The crowd in Detroit is yelling “Let’s go Cavs” and it’s REALLY loud. Sounds like a home game for the Cavs…

Thanks Joe D.

I don’t care if it’s about salary, trading Billups was dumb. Not as dumb as hiring Michael Curry, though.

RIP Pistons. It was a great era.

I just don't understand this thought process

No O-Line throughout 7 rds and then an RB, with decent ones still on the board? Really Mayhew? Really?

It's all gonna backfire

When Schwartz finds out it’s against the rules to put in a brick wall rather than a real O-Line

only hope for oline

is that they pick up where they left off…i must say that the best they looked was the in the final games when they got consistent play together as a unit game in and game out…i still thought some upgrading would have been done…

by londonlion on Apr 26, 2009 6:15 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Perhaps next year

When they invest 2 picks on O-Line (We should’ve had 1 this year, they have to make up for it) and get a real starting MLB

I heard the lions have a scheme where they replace there MLB with a little kid with welches..

and hope the kid is so cute they just give up the ball.. it’s a pretty interesting technique

The Lions are going to transcend football

And run a 4-2-4. Like a 4-3 but without the mike.

How about a 1-5-5?

I think there’s actually a formation like that in Madden. Pretty interesting to play with.

Roary Rumors...

…yeah, but I hear he has a problem with keeping his jersey on when he leaves Ford Field. I think I saw an article in the Freep that said he’s not allowed back at Wendy’s?

Indeed

It’s obvious the “Idiot’s Guide to Football” book Mayhew was reading was missing the “O-Line is the most important part of the team” Chapter

I was thinking this (in all seriousness)

They drafted for talent the entire draft. They traded down for 7th rounders to pick up the need guys so no one can say they didnt draft for need

by Nate D. on Apr 26, 2009 6:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

it's too late to get quality at need that late...

late is not for filling need, it’s for fliers, risk guys.

Doesn’t play to his workout numbers

Ahooo
Classic “Workout Warrior” with a world of unfulfilled potential but he will need to stay healthy to maximize it…Finesse blocker and an intriguing developmental prospect who will most likely be selected much earlier than his tape suggests he should

I guess 7th is early?

If we can get Gerald Cadogan

Check him out....

One of the more colorful characters on the squad, Follett spent much of 2007 with a hair dye job featuring tiger/lion stripes (artwork courtesy of Greg Van Hoesen), earning himself the nickname “Ziger” for the “Z” dyed into the back of his head amongst the stripes. Even though the hair went back to normal for the final five games, the “Ziger” mentality remained. He is also an accomplished artist, as he has a wood-cutting hobby in which he has shaped plywood into life size replicas of teammates.

according to NFL.com

Ask any Pac-10 Conference quarterback to name the hardest hitting tackler in the league and they will sound like a choir in singing praises for Follett. A versatile defender, he began his Cal career as a middle linebacker, shifting to weak-side outside linebacker as a sophomore before finding a home on the strong side his junior campaign.

No doubt...

…but I seriously wouldn’t doubt he wins the starting MLB job. Or at least competes for backup time. Considering what’s on the roster now, and the fact that they drafted a true strong side linebacker earlier today, this one may work out.

From what I heard, he’s the new leader of the D

Wow

So what you’re saying is we had a good QB coord.?

by Nate D. on Apr 26, 2009 7:04 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Loefller is one of the best in college

I don’t know about NFL. Not enough time to make a judgment either way.

Opposing offense drove through Levy cuz the Levy was undersized

He got cut before the season and ended up signing with Carolina

I think he was on our practice squad when he got signed. Not positive, though.

this just in

al davis just traded his last pick and next years first for a freshan H-W-S punter

by londonlion on Apr 26, 2009 7:08 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Would you rather see Al Davis in Detroit or old man Ford.

by BIGWalt2990 on Apr 26, 2009 7:10 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Davis

He at least buts on a good show.

Totally

Rec’d

But I’d actually rather have Ford.

by Nate D. on Apr 26, 2009 7:12 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Agreed

At least the Lions are making an effort at a rebuild. Raiders needed a WR and they draft Heyward-Bey. We needed a QB and we draft Stafford, not Rhett Bomar. At least we’re trying

by detpistons3 on Apr 26, 2009 7:14 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Lol

Some Miami (Florida) fan just got ejected from the draft.

Cameron Morrah Drafted

Had him in my mock draft for the Lions. Went later than I thought

by detpistons3 on Apr 26, 2009 7:16 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Brian Hoyer

Does he get drafted?

by simscity on Apr 26, 2009 7:16 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Nope

Too many other quarterbacks available would rather have John Parker Wilson

Question on ESPN draftcast
Dan (Bay City, MI): I was at the Lion’s Draft Party and there was quite a ‘Boo’ when the Lions chose Delmas over Maualuga. I was not among them but I really liked Rey too. Did the Lion’s make the correct choice, in your opinion?
Bill Barnwell: That’s an absolute slam-dunk move on the Lions’ part, to be honest.

by detpistons3 on Apr 26, 2009 7:19 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Another question on ESPN draftcast
melissa (Michigan): Bill, what do you think about the lions draft thus far and what grade would you give them
Bill Barnwell: C+. They got the first overall pick wrong and everything else right. I love Louis Delmas — he’s the Finnegan for Jim Schwartz’s system, setting the tone.

by detpistons3 on Apr 26, 2009 7:22 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

schedule wise...

tough front 7 games…see what we are made of coming out of the bye week…hope we can head into the home stretch with at least 4 -5 wins

by londonlion on Apr 26, 2009 7:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

4 - 5 wins?!

Wow…you’ve been watching the draft too long. 4-5wins would be a great season this year!

by Mushy on Apr 26, 2009 7:28 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

CB

Continue the special teams trend

by detpistons3 on Apr 26, 2009 7:25 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Michael Bennet

Could be a good one

As well as Cornelius Lewis

made for a great two days…

by DrewsLions on Apr 26, 2009 7:31 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

In all seriousness...

I think we can hold out hope that they pick up some need positions from the undrafted FAs.

by AZ Yooper on Apr 26, 2009 7:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah

This is the strategy

Day 1, get best player at each position

Day 2. Special Teams, Special Teams, Special Teams

Think about it, why else do we get an LT that runs a 4.8-something?

by detpistons3 on Apr 26, 2009 7:32 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

Yeah this was a good ass time

To spend the draft at least

as they play The final countdown

Apparently he's someone totally random

Oh they’re making some big deal of it

Same, peace all!

Gotta get some HW done lol

by detpistons3 on Apr 26, 2009 7:35 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

An above average blocker.

Theyre gonna have two TEs playing at the same time maybe? What is that, strong I or something?

by BIGWalt2990 on Apr 26, 2009 7:35 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

They will actually

I was reading about our schemes last night…

Believe it or not, these guys pretty much all fit

by Nate D. on Apr 26, 2009 7:36 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

wow... thank God that's over...

Now let’s do it for real.. that was the practice right?
