With The Sims trade today, only 1 out of the 39 picks Matt Millen made between 2002 - 2006 remains with the Lions: '06 2nd rounder Daniel Bullocks.

Wowzer!

The Detroit News says none of the 39 are left....

"Sims, Detroit's ninth overall pick in 2006, was due to make $1.8 million in the final year of his rookie contract. And after trading him away, the Lions' roster now includes none of the 39 draft picks former team president Matt Millen made from 2002 to 2006."

My only guess would be that's because Bullocks just signed his tender tonight?

I dunno. He definitely was drafted by the Lions in 2006.

I have leave the room or change the channel when that jack a55 is on ESPN. Matt Millen took a proud franchise and dragged them down. The season before he took over we missed the playoffs by a field goal. From that time on they sucked. Then in 2005 they gave him a contract extension and they continued to suck. Fired 3 years into that contract his handiwork resulted in a perfect season 0-16. I jumped ship a long time ago. Now that they seem to be making sound football decisions i care again.

    • This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.
    • Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
