I think they will go with the OT from Wisconsin Joe Thomas.
Nooooooo! lol.. iwant the Bucs to get him.. I would be thrilled if the bucs got Calvin Johnson though. Joey Galloway's knees have to go here pretty soon.. lol.. He is fast in a straight line though.. Michael Clayton is a BUM!! I have a trade for your LIons fans.. How about we trade you Michael Pittman, Mike Alstott and Michael Clayton (THREE MIKES, not just one!!) for your Mike.. Mike Martz..
John Gruden is a bum. One of my buddies knows Ike Hilliard pretty well, he went to UF with him and he was talking to Ike and he said that Ike said that Gruden's offense is too confusing. There are too many option routes, formations, and shifting, and that the verbage is mental diarrhea.. That makes sense, John Gruden does try to get too smart sometimes. John Gruden's offense would be perfect if he had Marvin Harrison and Steve Smith at wide out, Jeremy Shockey at TE and 2 Reggie Bushes, however, we don't have nearly that talent nor athleticism..
My wish is for the Bucs to SOMEHOW get Joey Thomas.. If we can't get him get a solid playmaker like Calvin Johnson. Let Monte Kiffin address defense with the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th round picks, then just draft pure speed, we absolutley MUST draft a Devin Hesterlike player.. I was pissed when we didn't get him last year. yeah, he's not a physical Cover 2 corner, SO WHAT, PUT HIM ON OFFENSE.. Every successful team has at least one athlete like him.. Field position is everything in this league.
Sorry to hijack your thread, back to the Lions.. Yeah, I like Kevin Jones, he just needs to stay healthy and be a little more specific. Honestly, I think he's more talented to Larry Johnson. If you can get Kevin Jones a good offensive line, he will tear shit up. He had a solid offensive line at VT and he showed his awesome vision..
I am looking for the Lions to have a solid defense, Boss Bailey is finally starting to play and Ernie Sims will knock a bitch out!!! I just want to see Lions address their secondary with a big hitting safety or a shut down corner. Dre Bly is a solid #2 corner, but I wouldn't want him on Chad Johnson or Randy Moss....
If the Lions want to win now they'll do what I just said, if they want to build a solid foundation, I'd say go ahead and draft Brady Quinn and let him ride the bench this season. Not this draft but the next year's draft is going to be INSANEEEEEEEEEEE.. especially with RB's and WR's and OL.. There are some awesome Sophomore linemen in the SEC and Big 10 that, if they could come out this year, they'd go in the first round..
One more thing.. Mike Furrey and Roy Williams are going to arguably be one of the top 3 WR duos in the league. Furrey runs excellent routes and he makes plays. Roy Williams is just a freak of friggin nature man.. Mike Williams showed some promise towards the end of the season. I hope the Lions keep him because he simply cannot be covered by the 3rd string CB from ANY team.. Mike Martz will teach him a thing or two this off season and he will start shielding defenders much like Antonio Gates does now..
