Draft

were 5 ink philly is 4...meaning they snag our LT right infont of us :/

Lions trade up in draft as I said before, no problem. Well, other than what they give up.

Reminds me of Lucy when she stated oh so eloquently, "snow falls up Charlie Brown". Lolls

Fox, Sims, raiola, reiff, hilliard

Just tossing out another option, bad as it obviously is.

That's a very bad option. Fox and Hilliard both. At the same time? Ouch. Fox has played like 10 minutes in 3 years, and he goes to LT - ouch again.

Yep, I meant to type #5... but I think it's far from a given that Philly takes Fisher at #4. Too many ways they can go.

I still think Rieff can play LT, and we take take an interior guard in the later rounds.

Rieff Sims Riola ?Rookie? Hilliard.

In 2011 when Goz had all the knee problems, Hilliard played pretty well at RT. I wanted him starting at RT last year with Rieff at LT before Goz pulled his head out of his and realized his contract year was about to be eaten up by a rookie.

If Joekel, Fisher and Milliner are gone, I see the Lions trading down. A lot of the top defensive prospects are 3-4 guys. Cleveland is switching to a 3-4. We are in the ideal spot for a 3-4 team to trade. I just want to stay in the top 10. If not, we better get a truckload of picks.

If the Lions go DE and OL in the first two rounds, what do you think about the Tyrann Mathieu in the 3rd? I know the character concerns and drug issues. But I saw him in an interview and he was at least saying all the right things and seemed sincere.

He seemed sincere when millions of dollars are on the line? Shocking. But I don't disagree with you. I think he would be a nice pick.....at the very least he is a good punt/kick returner.....and we held a roster spot for that waste of space Logan so we could do the same for Mathieu.

However, I don't see them taking him. They want big corners now....we have a few guys like Mathieu already.

Mayhew won't commit to Reiff's position but LT is open. Basically, please be there Fisher I think is the plan.

What usually happens in this case is that he is there and they go in a different direction. And I end up like the emoticon.
