mario williams is good building block for the texans defense. he alone won't make the texans defense a top 10 in the NFL but he's a good start towards it.
 
[quote name='doubledown']Why do people think Matt Leinart will be good? He has not proven anything yet....I'm GLAD the Lions did not take him...best move yet. I kept saying....here we go, Lions take Leinart (Joey #2). Leinart cannot throw the deep ball like Joey also. 9 teams passed on him....must be some reason. Even his former QB coach from Tennessee passed on him.

As for the LIONS draft....it was average at best. Ernie Sims seems to be a liability with FIVE concussions already in college. It will be good if he stays healthy though. Bollocks seems to be an ok pick....we need DB help. Jonathan Scott is a steal in R5 apparently...so, that is nice.

But, the Lions still have to second guess themselves...traded a 4th Rd pick last year for Dan Orlovsky who will not even see the field in 3-4 years...when he is long gone.

As for Brian Calhoun...who knows, we really need some OG/OT help....it seems Schleshinger might be out in Detroit or Eddie Drummond is in trouble. KJ, Pinner, Bryson, Calhoun.....yeah.[/quote]

Even if you are glad they didnt take Matt...you still have to wonder what the fuck are they thinking. With the people that where still on the board they could have gone WAY WAY WAY WAY fucking BETTER THAN ERNIE SIMMS.

Christ....Simms shouldnt have even went in the first round let alone a god damn top 10 spot. Honestly....comparing Joey to Matt is crazy. Matt cant throw the deep ball? Who the fuck is he going to throw the deep ball to anyway? Roy is a 10 yard WR because of his size, Mike is never going to beat a snail downfield, Rogers............lets not kid ourselfs Rogers couldnt beat a one legged crackhead jacking off down field let alone catch a ball toss right at his hands.

At least with Matt you will get the crowd excited about the team because of the hype around Matt. I dont really see how he can fail. Below average WR can do well with a above average QB...who the fuck do we have to throw to anyone on the team now? No one. Not a soul.

To say that the lions draft was average at best is just kidding yourself.....that was one of the worst drafts i have ever seen. I am glad i am a true Titans fan and i only live by detroit.

Only can anyone answer why in the hell last year did they have Pinner split time with Kevin Jones? Jones was the best thing to come to the lions in a long long time (maybe pollard) yet we have him split time with a fucking bum? I watched pinner when he played for the Titans....he sucked ass why did we even pick him up? I am so angry at them.

The lions are the only team that doesnt have at least 1 superstar not a one. There is no hype around anyone that is on the lions (which is why i say take a chance with Matt) the only one worth their weight on that team is Kevin Jones.


By the way...i am not actually yelling at you or anything.....god damn internet and its inability to portray tone in a persons voice.

texans dont deserve to be losers. its cool that u can bash them for not getting bush and i'm fine with that. but they got a good 1st-round talent at OLB and got 2 good OLine prospects (winston could had been a top 10 prospect if weren't the ACL injury 2 years ago) to protect Carr.

They get a B+ in my book and definately not losers in the draft.
 
The thing about grading teams is that you really shouldn't until about three years after that year's draft class.

Also, a team who drafts first will usually always get the better talent than the one drafting 32nd. Therefore, you have to grade each team by the talent they were able to get at the draft position they were in.

Watch some game film of Ernie Sims before you talk. The guy is an absolute stud, the only thing you have to worry about is the concussions.

yes he come be a smaller version of derrick brooks at WLB. hey, ron marnelli was the d-line coach of tampa bay. he will know a few things about derrick brooks that he saw in ernie sims. he was the 2nd best LB in the draft, just behind aj hawk.

Wasn't Marinelli the O-Line coach?

First: Remember when Joey came to town...he was our savior, we all see how that turned out. Andre Ware, Tim Couch, Ryan Leaf.....no QB taken high is guaranteed.

Second, Artose Pinner NEVER played for the Titans...Detroit drafted him. Get your facts right.

Who would YOU rather have that was available?

Your right Pinner never played for the Tits.....who the fuck was i thinking about? Thanks for clearing that up.

Anyway....i wouldnt say Joey was suppose to be our savior even then. I am at work so i cant look at the list of player right now i wil get back to you on that.


Also.....without Matt, (or any other Qb) it still leaves us with the problem of not having someone to run the offense. The five qb we have now i wouldnt trust as far as i could toss them. NONE of the QB detroit played the entire season last year. King didnt play not a down, Kitna only played in 3 games, McCown played in 9, Dan orlovsky played in 2 or 3. Other than harrington all 4 of the other players combined played in a whooping 13 games last season. We know harrington will not play for the lions this year so who would you trust to run under center?
 
I have faith in McCown. Look what Mike Martz did with Kurt Warner, Marc Buler and Ryan Fitzpatrick....McCown has ability, Kitna MIGHT have some still....who knows. Shaun King will be on the streets and Orlovsky will be 3rd string again.

With our luck, Leinart MIGHT be good, be the Lions do not have a track record for QB's. EVERYONE WANTED JOEY IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON. McMahon started the season and he was not ou saviour....but people wanted JOEY, JOEY, JOEY...then look what happens.

I agree. I think McCown got a raw deal in Arizona by them never letting him start for an extended amount of time, but I think he showed a lot of promise.

If the Lions give him a chance, I think he can be their starter.
