There's no way we draft Calvin Johnson now.
Ha, i dont think he is much of a threat to do anything.

Well, they re-signed Furrey to #2 money. He can't be much worse than a #3 for that kind of deal. Marcus Robinson is like #2 talent on a bad team (us). This Shaun MacDonald cat won't get cut because of his Martz connection (which is why Furrey is here to begin with).
I dunno. Adding a handful of receivers plus re-signing the breakout player from last year doesn't seem like we're looking to draft another one. Especially when we already have Roy.
Damn Millen for not thinking AHEAD. Calvin Johnson would set us up for FIFTEEN years of success.

The first time, the Broncos proposed adding middle linebacker Al Wilson and their No. 21 overall pick as an extension to finalize a deal that sent Tatum Bell and George Foster to the Lions in exchange for Dr

I might be nuts...
When I read the news that Randy Moss can be had for a 2nd round pick - it kills me. I say that we offer our high 3rd round pick for Randy Moss. We then take Calvin Johnson anyway - and then sell him to the highest bidder. Or we take Moss and trade down to pickup Willis. I am not sure of the salary cap numbers - because we would have to pay Moss his salary - but Moss + Roy Williams + Furrey (slot) - unbelieveable.

The list goes on. Maybe Millen will make a good move for once....
Now there are reports that the Raiders might take Quinn. That is good for the Lions (on one hand) because they get to select Johnson or Russell. On the other hand it would be bad for Millen because he would have to make a decision.

Mario Manningham out of Michigan seems like next years first rounder. He even has the state ties for that bonus appeal that will make Matt fall in love.

Furrey will not be waived for one, he was signed to a nice contract and although I hate the amount of money Millen gave him maybe he will play a little at the CB position again like he did in St. Louis along with being the 3rd WR.

Next years draft will have to focus on the defense, we still need to fix the secondary, having Bryant being the key DB this year scares me. However I wish everyone would stop hating on the CJ pick. Everyone is acting like thats the end of the world, but Millens biggest goof this year was the fact that he didn't take his 2nd round pick and move back up into the first round to draft either Quinn or Staley.
