RE-drafting the Lions - 2010

Photobucket


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. Charles Brown didn't go until the saints at the end of round 2, but he couldn't make it on to the field.

Also could of had:
4. (36) Chiefs - McCluster, Dexter RB
10. (42) Patriots - Gronkowski, Rob TE
12. (44) Raiders - Houston, Lamarr DT
15. (47) Cardinals - Washington, Daryl LB



Third round
Lions Pick:
66: Amari Spievey, CB, Iowa

My Pick:
8. (106) Raiders - Campbell, Bruce OT

Also could of had:
2. (100) Vikings - Griffen, Everson DE
3. (101) Buccaneers - Williams, Mike WR
15. (113) Patriots - Hernandez, Aaron TE

Spievey was a needed position, played 16 games, got 2 picks, played better as the season went on. That said, Cambell was a great prospect at round 4. Mike Williams had the best rookie WR year since Randy Moss.



Fourth round
Lions Pick:
128: Jason Fox, OT, Miami

My Pick:
24. (193) Packers - Starks, James RB

Mr. Starks has replaced Ryan Grant as the Packers RB, and the Pack has leaned on him in the playoffs. It would be hard to argue with him over any Lions RB at this point.


Seventh round
Lions Picks:
213: Willie Young, DE, North Carolina State
255: Tim Toone, WR/PR, Weber State

No linebackers, but George Selvie DE Rams (226) would have made a better pick than Young, who didn't really see the field. Toone was Mr. irrelevant and I'm not commenting on UDFA.

50 Favorite Adult Swim Characters

I tried to get a good variety and yet be fair to what I like the most. I'm sure there are one I've missed and some that might be surprising but if it aired on Adult Swim - I can use it. I didn't use any characters from either Robot Chicken or Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! as they are basically clip shows and while good, the re-occurring characters aren't used enough. Also, it turns out H. Jon Benjamin is the voice for half these shows. 50. Chains     Fat Guy Stuck in Internet 49. Assy McGee    Assy McGee H. Jon Benjamin plays the mayor. 48. The Mayor    Tom Goes to the Mayor A Picture of Jeff Goldbloom instead of the Mayor, but this was by far the funniest thing on the show. 47. Inuyasha    Inuyasha 46. Satan     Lucy: The Daughter of the Devil Wears Bill Cosby sweaters and is always trying to kill his daughters boyfriend DJ Jesus. Yeah... One of the H. Jon Benjamin voices...

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (20-1)

My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (100-81) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (80-61) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (60-41) My Top 100 One Drop (CC) Creatures (40-21) 20. Vexing Devil Giving an opponent a choice is never a good idea. However I really feel like it's win win here in the aggressive deck. A 4/3 for one will almost always be worth a card. So the real question is - is it worth a card to deal 4 damage for a red? It's not quite Flame Slash good in a control deck, or as great top deck as Thunderous Wrath but better than Thunderbolt or Lava Axe . 19. Scute Mob Not a true one drop. But by turn six hopefully you are going get a hydra-like insect that will quickly get insanely huge if not dealt with. My biggest issue is that it doesn't have trample. It's still a great costed creature that can do some work if unchecked. There are lots of ways to give it Trample in Green not named Rancor . 18. Dragonmaster Outcast And yet another non-true o...
