RE-drafting the Lions - 2006

Just as bad as 2005, kind of a throw away draft yet again setting the Lions back. One average Linebacker, average Tackle and everything else was junk. Round 1 1 - 9 Ernie Sims OLB Florida State My Pick: 19 - Antonio Cromartie CB Florida State San Diego Chargers Also could of had: 11 - Jay Cutler QB Vanderbilt Denver Broncos 12 - Haloti Ngata DT Oregon Baltimore Ravens 23 - Davin Joseph G Oklahoma Tampa Bay Buccaneers 27 - DeAngelo Williams RB Memphis Carolina Panthers 28 - Marcedes Lewis TE UCLA Jacksonville Jaguars 29 - Nick Mangold C Ohio State New York Jets 30 - Joseph Addai RB Louisiana State Indianapolis Colts 33 - DeMeco Ryans MLB Alabama Houston Texans I was pissed with the Lions for making this pick. Sims wasn't an early first rounder in most mock drafts. I had him going like 15-16. So when the Lions picked him 9 I didn't know much about him. I was all on the Cutler bandwagon. Cutler might have been a better choice, Cromartie was even better. There was lots of talent he

Another Top 10 pick, what a shock. Wasted pick in another wide receiver. If Charles Rogers didn't send this organization back enough years, Mike Williams sure did. Williams is having his best year this year, but for Seattle. He couldn't even make it on the field for the Lions despite being the third WR taken in the top 10. You could probably argue Troy Williamson and Braylon Edwards were just as big of busts. But at least Edwards has shown potential despite his dropsies. This whole draft was a waste and one of the reasons the Lions have been in such dismay. Round 1 1-10 Mike Williams WR USC My Pick: 13. New Orleans Saints - Jamaal Brown, OT Oklahoma Also could of had: 11. Dallas Cowboys - Demarcus Ware*, DE Troy State 12. San Diego Chargers - Shawne Merriman, DE Maryland 24. Green Bay Packers - Aaron Rogers, QB California 27. Atlanta Falcons - Roddy White, WR UAB 30. Pittsburgh Steelers - Heath Miller*, TE Virginia 32. New England Patriots - Logan Mankins, OG Fresno State There

RE-drafting the Lions - 2004

This one ought to be fun. Two first rounders, Kevin Jones... not sure if he's in the league anymore and Roy Williams and his first down arm. Jones was hurt near the end and had the same terrible offensive line we have now, but he just didn't live up to his draft position. Williams on the other hand was talented. We ripped off Dallas by trading him for a 1 and a 3. Probably the best receiver since Morton. That first down thing that he does when being down 3 touchdowns was infuriating. Had some good Kitna years, but at the end he couldn't catch simple crossing routes as those poor Cowboys learned last weekend. Round 1 - 7. Roy Williams WR Texas My Pick - 14. Chicago - Tommie Harris, DT Oklahoma Also could of had - 8. Atlanta - DeAngelo Hall, CB Virginia Tech 11. Pittsburgh - Ben Roethlisberger, QB Miami 12. NY Jets - Jonathan Vilma, LB Miami 16. Philadelphia - Shawn Andrews, OT Arkansas 18. New Orleans - Will Smith, DE Ohio State 21. New England - Vince Wilfork, DT Miami 2
