Super pumped for this season. Going to the Detroit/9er game this year.

The draft. Wasn't over hyped with some of the picks. Though Im trusting in Mayhew.

Riley Reiff finally a replacement for Jeff Backus :noah:

Ryan Broyles :wtf: This pick made me think Matt Millen snuck into the draft room. So many other players I would have taken. Guy is a montser on bubble screens and his qb was terrible after he went down with an acl injury. Though the fact he ran a 4.5 5 months after injure is :krs:

Dwight Bentley was my :ehh: pick. Really made a name for himself in the Senior bowl. Played on the other side of Janoris in high school. Don't know much about him but that.

Ronnell Lewis this is my fav pick in the draft. This dude is a monster. I think he was an absolute steal. It wouldn't suprise me if he got a shot in the rotation at DE or if he stole some snaps from Durant.

Tahir Whitehead Don't know much about this guy. Didn't like we traded our 4th pick to move up to get him. Not impressed with what I have seen. I had same reaction to the Levy pick thou as well.

Chris Greenwood this pick I really like 6'1 corner, 4.4 speed and 43 inch vertical. Very excited to see this guy in the preseason.

Jonte Green don't know anything about this guy.

Travis Lewis love this pick in the 7th round. Team captain. Potential first round pick at start of the season played on a bum foot all year. Still produced well. Know idea how he was available in the 7th round.

Love the fact we got Kellen for our 3rd qb. I see him taking over the number 2 spot when Hill is done in a year or two.

I used to get dizzy spells, and hear a little ring
The voice of a angel telling me my name
Telling me that one day I'mma be a great mane
Transforming with the Megatron Don spittin out flames

I was so amped for the Reilly pick, like finally a NEED drafted with Pro Bowl (lol) potential..... and then they take a reciever........:dwillhuh:

I need to read up on some of the other picks but listening tto 97.1 it seems like the draft went pretty good. Mayhew might actually know something about football.:krs:

I love Mayhew.

I remember everyone on the scout board wanting Curry over Stafford. Which I would have blown a gasket if they did that. If you don't have a star qb you keep drafting till you get one.

Mayhew has made some great picks.

Stafford, Suh, Delmas, Levy, Sammie Hill and Pettigrew.

Been really impressed with Houston at CB really played way above what I thought he was able too. You really noticed how we went from good against the pass to bad once him and Delmas got banged up last season.

Plus getting CJ for 8 years :win:

Finish up Secondary and Oline next year and we going to be competing for a long long time.

M.Leshore and Fairley need get there heads on straight.

C/S. I have really come around on Mayhew and I can't argue the results, I wasn't sure at first but he has really put together a contender that could make a legit SB with a little more help.

And yeah, we need alot of interior help hopefully Mayhew has a few more shrewd moves in him.

After Millen I wanted everyone gone down to the mascot and concession sales guys. So I wasn't fond of Mayhew at first either.

I really like what Mayhew is doing. He has the Lions in a spot to be good for a while. As long as the Dline can get pressure this year, then the secondary will be alright. Also go get drayton florence or mike jenkins. Wouldn't hurt nobody to just have a few more bodies back there.
