one of the DEs will be there when the Lions pick....no brainer pick for Mayhew in Rd 1.

Get StartedSlick, if there's anything we have learned from this regime, and the Lions as a whole, it is to expect the unexpected, and the term "no-brainer" should not even be used.
The truth is, I don't think any of us know what these guys are capable of doing. Shit, I wouldn't put it past them to draft Geno Smith if he fell to #5 (kidding, kinda...)
Trust me man, I'm 100 percent with you. They need an elite DE. I'm just saying, don't fall off your chair if they take someone no one wants.
nah...KVB is done , it's gotta be DE and if by chance they're both gone the CB from Bama is a nice consolation prize.
im worried to be honest. alot of those teams in the top 5 need stud DEs. Especially JAX. And PHI definitely needs a OT so they probably take Joeckel. I would love to have Milliner but i think he'd be considered a reach at 5 for Mayhew who is BPA or die. Leave it to the lions to pick in the top 5 the year that not even the top 5 is strong lol.
I think Milliner is top 5 worthy...comes from an NFL coached defense in college , his strength is the zone coverage which we play a ton of...He'd start here Day 1.
gotta re-sign Houston though to make that pick an impact pick.
ya we think hes worthy....im just hoping Mayhew does. Im pretty sure Mayhew pulls his draft board from the espn nfl draft page lol. So therefor he views Milliner as a pick 10-15 guy. You cover a starting position on defense for the next 6 years....i have no issues taking the guy top 5. We havent addressed the cb position via draft since what?.....bryant westbrook and terry fair? lmao.
who do you think he could fuck up with ? I mean even if you have to take Joekel...RT and LT are set for the next 10 years...right ?
in essense...youre right since the rest of the bigger names are all DTs. I swear to god if he picks a DT lol. If werner, moore and joeckel are gone which there is a good chance that happens. I would have to think at this point in time prior to the combine the picks would boil down to Milliner and Warmack. Before this year i couldnt even imagine a guard going in the top 5....but that dude just has all pro written all over him. i definitely want moore and werner first and foremost. Next id have to say a toos up between Milliner and Joeckel. Lastly warmack or a DE that shoots up during the combine....watch out for Ansah.
I still see at least 1 qb getting taken in the top 5 and Werner is a good player but doesnt have the upside to be top 5 chosen. Im still trying to find more info on the top ranked guys but at 5 a solid player will be there and we could still drop back two or three spots and grab Milliner. Who fits our scheme and what the coaches like. Then we can resign houston start milliner opposite and try to bulk Greenwood up and try him at safety. Add in a healthy Delmas and thats not bad, if Greenwood can play the position of course.
At this point to me the fuck up is reaching for a another DE if the top two are taken, ie Mingo.
Captain hindsight to the rescue.
2009 Rd 3
Pick 82 Derrick Williams
Pick 84 Mike Wallace
2011

2012 too soon to play captain hindsight and I liked the Reiff pick but...
Pick 23 Reilly Reiff
For immediate impact
Pick 29 Harrison Smith
Pick 39 Jenoris Jenkins
Pick 54 Ryan Broyles
Pick 55 Peter Konz
Pick 62 Casey Hayward

torrie smith just smoked champ bailey for a 60 yd td. woulda shoulda coulda.
Smith is constantly smoking Bailey. I think our scouts are retarded.
Smith running streaks oppostie Calvin is just /drool. What the hell would defenses do? lol. All you can do is shake your head....instead we got a retard and captain "he coulda ran for 1000 yards". i was torn between orlando franklin and ijalana for our first 2nd round pick. Then we took leshoure over smith and cobb. Franklin and Smith/Cobb woulda been my captain hindsight lol.
