If he's here, who's running hell?

Best for last-har. 2nd pick overall even though we lost to the Rams who wound up picking first. Didn't matter much as we drafted the so called greatest talent in years. First round Lions Pick: 2: Ndamukong Suh, DT, Nebraska Boy did he make an impact. Pro-Bowl. Ndamukong Suh, 10 sacks, an interception, a touchdown. Completely revamped the Lions D-Line and improved the defense. Can't argue at the moment that the Lions hit. Lions Pick: 31: Javhid Best, RB, Cal The Lions traded up four picks to grab someone Schwartz was in love with. Scored 5 of his 6 touchdowns in the first 2 games. Kept hearing turf toe and never looked right all year. Over a thousand total yards though. No concussion, and did look real quick in spots. My Pick: At the time, I would have picked either: 17. (49) 49ers - Mays, Taylor FS 11. (43) Ravens - Kindle, Sergio DE But shows what I know, Kindle fell down the stairs and didn't play a snap, Mays lost his job when he couldn't cover anyone.

2009 - Detroit Lions Round 1 1. (1) Matthew Stafford QB Georgia 1. (20) Brandon Pettigrew TE Oklahoma State My picks - 15 (15) Texans - Cushing, Brian OLB 23 (23) Ravens - Oher, Michael OT Also Could of had - 4 (4) Seahawks - Curry, Aaron OLB 5 (5) Jets - Sanchez, Mark QB 9 (9) Packers - Raji, B.J. DT 13 (13) Redskins - Orakpo, Brian DE 14 (14) Saints - Jenkins, Malcolm CB 17 (17) Buccaneers - Freeman, Josh QB 19 (19) Eagles - Maclin, Jeremy WR 22 (22) Vikings - Harvin, Percy WR 26 (26) Packers - Matthews, Clay OLB Not picking Stafford wouldn't change the current state of the Lions too much. He hasn't been on the field much. The question is, how much better would the Lions be with the 09 defensive player of the year and the top offensive lineman in the draft? Pettigrew has been solid and got targets but had injury problems last year and his ability to catch and run after the catch are suspect. Round 2 2. (33) Louis Delmas DB Western Michigan My pick - Same Also Could of had -

30. The Smurfs Stars: Neil Patrick Harris, Hank Azaria, Paul Reubens, George Lopez, Katy Perry, Anton Yelchin, Alan Cumming Plot: When the evil wizard Gargamel chases the tiny blue Smurfs out of their village, they tumble from their magical world and into ours Why it is where it is: Lots of good voice actors, Pee Wee Herman, NPH. The Smurfs weren't a bad cartoon, I'm way more interested in this than any Chipmunks movie, plus Gargamel is the Simpsons Hank Azaria who might be worth seeing. 29. Warrior Stars: Nick Nolte, Tom Hardy Plot: The youngest son (Hardy) of an alcoholic former boxer (Nolte) returns home, where he's trained by his father for competition in a mixed martial arts tournament against his brother. Why it is where it is: I like fighting movies like this with a good story premise(Price of Glory for example). Tom Hardy was good in Inception, it's MMA which I'm not as sold on as say a boxing movie. 28. Kung Fu Panda: The Kaboom of Doom Stars: Jean-Claude V

The draft that finally did it. Got Matt Millen fired, got the Lions a win-less season. 9 picks, not much hit well. What more could you ask... 2008 - Detroit Lions Lions pick: 1. (17) Gosder Cherilus T Boston College My pick: 15. (15) Kansas City Chiefs - Albert, Branden OG Also could of had: 18. (18) Baltimore Ravens - Flacco, Joe QB 20. (20) Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Talib, Aqib CB 23. (23) Pittsburgh Steelers - Mendenhall, Rashard RB 24. (24) Tennessee Titans - Johnson, Chris RB 25. (25) Dallas Cowboys - Jenkins, Mike CB 30. (30) New York Jets - Keller, Dustin TE 4. (35) Kansas City Chiefs - Flowers, Brandon CB 6. (37) Atlanta Falcons - Lofton, Curtis LB 11. (42) Denver Broncos - Royal, Eddie WR 13. (44) Chicago Bears - Forte, Matt RB The lions traded down 2 spots to the Chiefs, who in turn took the player I wanted the lions to pick. Though the Lions did attempt addressing the offensive line, doesn't look like Cherilus lived up to a number one pick. Lions pick: 2. (45) Jordon Dizo

The lions didn't blow the number two overall pick, most certainly making a good decision to pick Calvin Johnson. That being said, they had 3 number 2's which were all insane. All in all 8 picks, and only Calvin to make something of a career. Drew Stanton did win some games this year, but never justified that 43 overall selection. 2007 - Detroit Lions Lions Pick: 1 - 2 - Calvin Johnson WR Georgia Tech My pick: 7 Adrian Peterson RB Oklahoma Minnesota Vikings Also could of had: 3. Joe Thomas OT Wisconsin Cleveland Browns 4. Gaines Adams DE Clemson Tampa Bay Buccaneers 11. Patrick Willis ILB Mississippi San Francisco 49ers 12. Marshawn Lynch RB California Buffalo Bills 14. Darrelle Revis CB Pittsburgh New York Jets 23. Dwayne Bowe WR Louisiana State Kansas City Chiefs 24. Brandon Meriweather DB Miami (Fla.) New England Patriots 25. Jon Beason MLB Miami (Fla.) Carolina Panthers Missed that Jamarcus Russell, whew! Again no problem with Calvin, but Peterson is the best thing we have

With Indy just getting booted out due to a stupid roughing the kicker penalty, there are now 10 teams left: Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, New England, Pittsburgh, New York Jets, Baltimore, Kansas City, Chicago and Green Bay knocking off: Cookie: New York Giants 32 Sided Dice: Jacksonville Jaguars Magic 8 Ball: Houston Texans Vegas: Indianapolis Colts Still alive: Me: Baltimore Ravens Hellen: Philadelphia Eagles making Vegas, randomness and the cat all incorrect.
