great news....

The Lions already have a QB, so basically it's just down to the Bungles and the Bills, who seem happy with Fitzpatrick (and they might be too cheap to go after Luck).

If we actually won another game and the Lions get the first pick, they would trade it to the highest bidder. :yesnod:

Luck would still go first

strength of schedule.

whoever has the easiest schedule gets the pick.

By the end of it, that may be them because our division is winning crazy time.

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I'm going to guess that theirs will end up being stronger than ours. Reason being that they also play the NFC South and play the AFC East which has 2 of the 3 teams with the best record in the league and one other team above .500 while we play the NFC West who has all four teams below .500.

That is good to hear. thanks for looking that up.

Don't worry. With Hurney calling the shots we are going to suck for a few years.

Hurney's built a pretty good team, I hope he's here for a while.

[Jaxel]

Im pretty resigned at the fact that we are probably going to blow out the Cardinals (cause they are that bad) so it's up to all the other teams to keep winning...

rabble rabble rabble, hurney rabble rabble!

we've had some great drafts over the last few years here. If he stops trading away the next year's 1sts (which he didn't do this year at least!), we just may be in good shape.

what does a great draft look like to you

what does a great draft look like to you

a great draft to me has a number of players starting on the team, others backing up, and one or two really being stars on the team.

i don't require first/second round draft choices be those stars, which may be why I am different from others.

Great may have been too strong a word, but I stand by the fact we've drafted well in recent years. This is a team built to last and I think that the fact Hurney didn't trade next year's first is good progress for him.

this season is just so sad

[g5jamz]

What's sad is realizing we don't have the 33rd pick....

That really saddens me.
