Bentley hasnt played, how can we say anything on him yet?

cause he hasnt played and he was a 3rd rd pick? just like our 2nd r pick hasnt really played. just like the 2nd round pick before that is gone already. Just like the other 2nd rd pick averaged 3 ypc. just like our 1st round pick last year barely saw any snaps. just like....just like....just like....

a ton? kvb, nate, tulloch, durant and eric wright are the only names i can think of prior to this off season that were worth a darn. And by worth i darn i mean kvb durant and wright are gone already...nate is old and took less money to stay and tulloch shopped himself and got nothing in return. Sooo....ya imo hes done nothing in FA.

Of course you think that. You're clueless.....sorry.

You missed a couple though. Rob Sims, Chris Houston, Corey Williams....just to name more. Somebody help me if im forgetting someone. through trade or FA

Your hate blinds you and its borderline pathetic at times. Mayhew has brought quality players over to the Lions. And like i said, Joe Montana, Lawrence Taylor or Reggie White type players dont usually come walking through your favorite teams doors.....clue the fuck in.

I cant believe I forgot those three. He has done a nice job filling some major holes. People forget the revolving door that was both guard spots he solidified one two years ago and another this year in the draft. We have missed on some picks but overall he has done a decent job. These dudes act like every other team hits on all their picks and get big money free agents every year. Its just not how it works.

maybe you forgot those 3 cause they werent free agents. We acquired them via trade.

Mayhew also signed Rob Sims to a smart 4 year deal after the trade and re-signed Chris Houston twice in free agency. You must have forgot that.
 
Who gives a shit. He gave up nothing for any of them. Quit crying

not crying just pointing out how terrible all 3 of you are at debating. I bring up how mayhew has sucked at free agency up until this year and you guys try to disprove me with 3 players we TRADED for. Brilliant!

I am still waiting for you to respond to my post about possible alternatives to who we have drafted in the past. So you are a real politician.

what year? theres so many misses i could list about 200 people that would be better than what we ended up with.
 
im talking really looking at it. You hate Levy go to the 09 draft and find me a LB in rounds 2 through 7 who is better. I dont care pick a player and then look at who is around him and tell me who is better and what kind of draft grade you had on him at the time. Because since you know all im sure you never miss anything. Like Mike Wallace being drafted within two picks of DW. In between were two other Wrs. Im sure you were all over Wallace right.

i guess ill focus on the people i complain about the most:

Broyles - Lavonte David, Peter Konz, Lamichael James, Casey Hayward all would have hands down produced more than broyles did.

Titus - Orlando Franklin (i mocked him to us), Ben Ijalana

Leshoure - Torrey Smith, Randal Cobb, Kelvin Sheppard, John Moffit, Martez Wilson

not to mention we gave up a pick to move up....i would hope that you agree we havent seen a return on our investment in the leshoure trade. Either that or we can just stop the debate now cause its not fair to debate with mental patients.

Best - Saffold, Tj Ward, Gronk, Zane Beadles,

Spievey- bag of popcorn would be an upgrade but i had navarro bowman mocked to us. Emannuel Sander, asamoah, moeaki, jimmy graham are some others.

Levy/dwill- louis vasquez, mike wallace, ladarius webb...basically any LB with 2 legs can fill a hole beter than levy....pick one.

He signed Houston twice in free agency. And signed Sims long term before he hit free agency. Even better. They count. Your semantics don't work hughes.

Broyles and LeShoure can end up better than all those guys. Best had a ton of talent. Can't help injuries. Best was a big reason they made the playoffs in 2011 as well.

Titus has talent and really helped us in 2011. He then went insane. Unknown variable for Mayhew.

Spievey I'm sure you would have been crying we didn't address the secondary.

DWill was a mistake. One of Mayhew's few.

Levy is a solid starter. Your hindsight hand picking only the good players is pretty stupid though. I'm sure there were other bad players worse than Levy taken around Levy. Plus you bash the LeShoure trade up, how about the Levy trade down which got us SLH who was a good player for 4 years. Levy plus SLH.

no i was not all over wallace. But i was all off dwill....just like mayhew should have been. ANYONE would have contributed more than he did.
 
Mayhews 2009/2010 drafts and trades were a huge reason we made the playoffs along with Tulloch/Durant/re-sign Houston in free agency and Titus Young's rookie season. 3 years after 0-16 caused by Millen.

-16 turnovers and injuries are a huge reason we missed the playoffs in 2012 despite having a ton of talent. 2011 and 2012 draft can grow enough to help out like the 2009/2010 drafts did. Plus Bush, Quin, Jones and the 2013 class.

but a lot of these players we talked about drafting as a message board during the draft some of them i even mocked to us like bowman and franklin. There comes a time when you need to draft good college players from the SEC and poof your team will be good. Instead mayhew reaches for "his guy" way too often and by reaching i mean takes him atleast 1 maybe 2 rounds too early ie levy and whitehead. He wastes value when he does that. He throws value away for trading picks away for people he could have got if he stayed put ie best whitehead. and he wastes picks trading up for people that dont produce ie leshoure.

Your mocked Mercilus/Robinson and you wanted Milliner, could be a huge mistake too. You can whiff too. And if you were in the GM seat with more information you might not have made your selections you "mocked to us".

Levy was after a trade down and you need to give a 5th round pick in Whitehead more than one year. Hell Whitehead could start this year and do well, neither you nor I know.
