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

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...

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...

Uhh, one of the worst drafts started off by one of the biggest busts in NFL history. Charles Rogers ended up playing 15 games in his career, catching 400 yards and 4 touchdowns. Not great for a normal NFLer, but for the second overall pick...just dreadful. Set the Lions back 2 years alone. Some of it wasn't his fault. The man had terrible injury problems, and he did look decent before the first collarbone incident. However it was reveled he had a drug problem, and that he failed one test already that the Lions knew about when he was drafted. I think he suffered from the same problem Matt Leinart did, being too close too his old school and friends when he really just needed a new start. Round 1: Detroit Charles Rogers WR Michigan State My Pick: 5. Dallas - Terence Newman CB Kansas Also could of had: 3. Houston - Andre Johnson WR Miami (Fla.) 9. Minnesota - Kevin Williams DT Oklahoma State 10. Baltimore - Terrell Suggs DE Arizona State 11. Seattle - Marcus Trufant CB Washington 13. N...

Yes, this is Matt Millen. The only """Expert""" picking Carolina, who wound up losing to Dallas 21-7. Interesting article here about Roy Williams blasting the Lions offensive line for their woes and praising ex president Matt Millen. I've never wanted the Lions to destroy Dallas more than this week. Williams goes on to say the Lions are cursed but will some day become the Saints and win it from the cellar. --Look at the article here-- This one is a blessed article the day Millen got canned. --Click here for that one-- 2002 - The year of the blue skies Round 1: Lions Pick - 3. Joey Harrington QB Oregon My Pick: 11. Indianapolis - Dwight Freeney DE Syracuse Also could of had:(in order how I would take them) 15. Tennessee - Albert Haynesworth DT Tennessee 24. Baltimore - Edward Reed S Miami 8. Dallas - Roy Williams S Oklahoma 26. Philadelphia - Lito Sheppard CB Florida 7. Minnesota - Bryant McKinnie OT Miami 9. Jacksonville - John Henderson DT Tennessee 1...

Here we go again, I'm getting lazier as I keep getting worse in fantasy football. How bad was the challenge this week? Week 6 Me - 451 Mike - 422 Champ: Every QB was gang-busters for both sides this week, however Jeremy Maclin's 27 wasn't bad for me. Chump: Miles Austin got a single point for Mike. Ick. Week 7 Me - 410 Mike - 408 Champ: Michael Turner's 26 was great though Mike's Roddy White did better with 32. Chump: 3 for Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Micheal Crabtree and 2 for Welker all didn't help on a bye week week. Week 8 Mike - 322 Me - 273 Champ: Moreno, Steward and Greene all failed to impress for me getting like 3 each, though Steven Jackson only got 6 which is unusually low for him. Chump: Calvin Johnson's 28 lead the way with Peterson and Sims Walker breaking 20 as well. Week 9 Mike - 358 Me - 328 Champ: Peterson and Rivers for 26, Green Bay's D for 28. Chump: I didn't get points from any tight end. 4 hurt and 1 sucked - Celek. That mak...

I've been a football fan since well 2001. I never really liked it in high school for some reason but probably when I discovered fantasy football I started liking it immediately(dropping pro wrestling as real sport of choice). Coincidentally this is when Matt Millen took over. The man single handed ruined the Lions well pretty much up until now. I couldn't have said it better than: Ryan Terpstra - MLive who talks about how undefeated Michigan and Michigan State fans had to listen to his commentary when the two played each other this year. "You're taking what is sure to be a ratings-winner in the Midwest area, and you're forcing people to have to listen to the spewings of a man who destroyed professional football in the state." So true, I would rather not watch. And it continues: "To me and hundreds of thousands of fans out there, Matt Millen holds less credibility than the drunk down at the other end of the bar. Anyone can epically destroy a professional ...
