Draft X they said!!

Boys, we can play "Coulda woulda shoulda" all day long. But the fact is we got two receivers with a lot of potential. One "project" that took away the #33 overall, which could of been a player who could come in and make an immediate impact. But we are stuck in this position. And regardless, if we take Luck at #1, I will forget about the whole A.E. draft screw up. That Pick alone is worth a A+ rating on day one.

I said we should have taken Shipley over LaFell, not made the trade for AE and taken Danario Alexander in the 7th.

Sounds pretty good to me.

You also said Mike Williams would never amount to anything in the NFL.

None of us have a particularly magnificent record on predicting draft picks overall.

Your point?

My point is that trying to one-up someone for wanting players who ended up lesser, or trying to prove people wrong by showing our picks were better, or trying to show Hurney did good, or trying to lighten the mood showing the future is bright is all pointless. We went 2-14. Big deal, Gettis and LaFell did better than Tate and Gillyard. So what? We suck.

The grass is always greener on the other side. I think we actually made out pretty good on the duo. Yes, LaFell could benefit from Stick'em, but he made some awesome plays during the season. Gettis may turn out to be the steal of the draft above all the rookie WRs, including Ford and Shipley. He's bigger, stronger and just a step off the smallish Ford. I'll take my chances.

Ford gives you the benefit of a great kick returner. Look at how Hester helped the bears. Not saying he will turn out better than Gettis, just another thing to look at.

    • We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.
    • Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
    • I think there's a ton of potential in that WR room. But they really are unproven right now. Hopefully they live up to the hype.
