If there’s one thing the Lions have done right in the QB department the past few years, it’s drafting great character guys. Joey Harrington? One of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. Drew Stanton? Content with #3 and doing all he can to contribute. Matt Stafford? All these injuries and he still stays positive. The… [Read more…]

Sure, we wound up with 5 players in 7 rounds of drafting. Not a lot of people are going to be happy with that, but I am. We filled some pivotal roles that needed to be addressed in some way, shape, or form, and we ignored the temptation to fill the immediate needs– not entirely… [Read more…]

I’m hoping that this Doug Hogue pick is going to pan out for us, because after reading about him and watching his workout– I like the guy. Plus, it would be nice to have a Lion with my name, right? A few tidbits about our 5th round selection: Converted from running back– tells you he’s… [Read more…]

Cue the Millen jokes, the Lions have taken a receiver. I’ve been calling for him for a while now, but apparently some Lions fans are upset with the selection of Titus Young. I like it for a few reasons: Depth. You have Matt Stafford healthy, holy hell this is a threatening WR corps. Insurance. CJ… [Read more…]

Cue the puns. The Detroit Lions now have the most overly-punned defensive line in the NFL. SuhPer Bowl? Fairley Suh-n. Credit goes to the random RT I saw earlier today. Initially, I was furious at the pick– given we had some solid corners on the board, and offensive linemen as well. After some careful thought… [Read more…]

A Matt Millen-less Detroit Lions team, isn’t it nice? But can you imagine if we had a guy with what seems like a partially functional brain in Martin Mayhew between 2001 and 2007? I know, it’s hard to imagine, and that’s why I took this “project” on. Matt Millen is probably one of the worst… [Read more…]

With the combine starting this week, I’ve been doing the best I can to follow all the stories and results that have come along for possible players the Lions may be interested in. This, of course, is my take on who I want to see in Honolulu Blue next year, not necessarily a mock draft… [Read more…]

A big thank you to Ty, over at The Lions in Winter for his feedback and giving me some publicity on this project. I’m sure a lot of people will be up in arms over the amount of black on these uniforms. That’s the joy of doing graphic work– you can make it your own.… [Read more…]

A glaringly apparent need for the Lions this offseason is the void left at linebacker. We have Deandre Levy and… yep. Jordan Dizon I’m convinced will be a permanent special teams fixture, and I really don’t know about Zack Follett. Vinny Ciurciu, Bobby Carpenter, and Ashlee Palmer? I really just don’t know. Carpenter and Palmer… [Read more…]

Sure, he’s not projected to be a high pick– that’s what we want. Being at the 13th pick kind of makes projecting draft picks tough when you look at them. According to several sources, Leshoure is projected to go anywhere between the 2nd and 4th round. Then this came today. Thank the lord. Kevin Smith… [Read more…]
