The 49ers RT: Niners Nation looking into the Future
Quick Note: I wrote this article prior to this past weekend's heart breaking loss to the Titans. The fact that we are 3-5 doesn't mean we should give up on the season, and focus on the offseason, I just wanted to get some names out there that we can track through out the remainder of the...
Dan Gronkowski Scouting Report
TE Dan Gronkowski (Maryland) - Round 7, Pick No. 255 With their third pick of the seventh round and the second-to-last pick of the draft, the Lions selected another tight end, Dan Gronkowski out of Maryland. When it gets this late in the draft, teams usually make picks based on how hard it will...
Zack Follett Scouting Report
LB Zack Follett (California) - Round 7, Pick No. 235 One of my favorite picks of the draft came in the seventh round. After already selecting an offensive tackle with their first selection of the seventh round, the Lions decided to draft their second linebacker of the day with the 235th pick. ...
Lydon Murtha Scouting Report
OT Lydon Murtha (Nebraska) - Round 7, Pick No. 228 The Lions finally addressed their need for an offensive lineman in the seventh round. By then, though, any pick was going to be more of a long shot to someday actually make an impact. That's not to say that Lydon Murtha, the OT from Nebraska the...
Aaron Brown Scouting Report
RB Aaron Brown (TCU) - Round 6, Pick No. 192 After taking the entire fifth round off, the Lions were back on the clock in round six and selected Aaron Brown, an Aveion Cason-like running back from TCU. He has the ability to return kicks and can catch passes, making him a good addition for depth...
Sammie Lee Hill Scouting Report
DT Sammie Lee Hill (Stillman) - Round 4, Pick No. 115 One of my favorite picks in this year's draft was the Lions' selection of Sammie Lee Hill in the fourth round. Hill is big defensive tackle from a small college in the south. He is one of those players selected based on potential, as Hill...
Derrick Williams Scouting Report
WR Derrick Williams (Penn State) - Round 3, Pick No. 82 It is a Lions fan's instinct to groan when a wide receiver is drafted, especially when other needs exist and the pick is in the third round. That is why the reaction to the Derrick Williams selection was overwhelmingly negative. While the...
DeAndre Levy Scouting Report
LB DeAndre Levy (Wisconsin) - Round 3, Pick No. 76 After trading down to open the second day of the draft, the Lions eventually selected DeAndre Levy as their first pick of the third-round. This pick instantly caused confusion, as Levy played outside linebacker in college. The Lions have a...
Louis Delmas Scouting Report
S Louis Delmas (Western Michigan) - Round 2, Pick No. 33 Of all the Lions' picks on the first day of the draft, this was really the biggest head-scratcher. While it was no surprise that the Lions drafted someone that was ranked as the top safety in the draft, no one was expecting a safety to be...
Brandon Pettigrew Scouting Report
TE Brandon Pettigrew (Oklahoma State) - Round 1, Pick No. 20 With both Michael Oher and Rey Maualuga available when the Lions went on the clock again in the first-round of the draft, nearly all fans expected that the need for a left tackle or middle linebacker would be taken care of. When the...
