Email I received from a Lions fan - The Orange Mane

jebures · 03-31-2006, 02:59 PM

This was in response to my mock draft on my website and he brings up a surprising trade option.

"As much as I respect your opinion, The word around here in Detroit is Hawk, Huff or trade.. Rumors are rampet that Detroit is trying to trade the pick, along with (Mike Williams) to Denver, for the 15th and 22nd pick. I personaly can't see that happening. If Cutler is there, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Lions draft him either. I enjoy your picks

J.Van Lions fan"

Since when does Matt Millen know what the hell he is doing? Grain of salt

sirhcyennek81 · 03-31-2006, 03:03 PM

For Mike Williams? I would prefer Roy Williams, then they have a deal.

Clockwork Orange · 03-31-2006, 03:05 PM

I'd take that deal if Ngata was still on the board at 9.

TheManeMan · 03-31-2006, 03:06 PM

I'm sure play2win, baja and I would have the biggest hard-on if Mike Williams were to get traded to Denver...oh the possibilites...

WABronco · 03-31-2006, 03:06 PM

I'd take that deal regardless of who's on the board...

Rascal · 03-31-2006, 03:24 PM

Mike Williams and their ninth pick for our two firsts? Hmmm....depends on who is on the board that has fallen but I'd be interested.

If you get him to lose his beer gut, Williams is better than any WR in this draft. Plus pick number 9. Sounds like a deal worth checking out.

Arkansas Bronco · 03-31-2006, 03:44 PM

Who knows if any of this is even close but that brings in a young pos. WR and a pick to take several players we wouldnt have had a chance to see. I think Dinger could help out M. Williams, and this is only his 2nd year in the league and usualy it takes a couple years for WR to take off.

I would have a hard-on if Vernon Davis somehow slipped to 15th.

But other than that, I always have a hard-on for Halle Berry, Gabrielle Union and Tatyana Ali.

Ratboy · 03-31-2006, 04:01 PM

That would be a steal for us.

Finger Roll · 03-31-2006, 04:06 PM

odds of him slipping to number 15 is slim and none so why bother dreaming about it.

elsid13 · 03-31-2006, 04:14 PM

Since I didn't watch many Detroit games last year, how did Mike Williams do? He has so so stats. I know Roy Williams was a budding star. I think I would take Mike Williams, Charlies Rodgers and 9th pick for the 15 an 22.

Dagmar · 03-31-2006, 04:15 PM

Williams and Davis @ 9 would be sweet! Trade for Ricky Williams and we're set offensively this season!

Hercules Rockefeller · 03-31-2006, 04:18 PM

Rogers can't stay healthy and has already been suspended 4 games for (I believe) pot. 1 more positive pee test and he's gone for a year.

elsid13 · 03-31-2006, 04:22 PM

It was something like steroids or another illegal supplement for Rodgers not pot. I trying to find the link, but I think I heard it on NFL network

eddie mac · 03-31-2006, 04:36 PM

Mike only started 4 games last year for the Lions and was beaten out of the starting line-up by Scotty Vines. He caught 29 balls for 350 yards last year and 1 TD.

Plus they just signed Corey Bradford...

elsid13 · 03-31-2006, 04:45 PM

After doing so research I think that we need a hell of lot more from Detroit. Supposedly Mike Williams is up to 250 pounds, and it ain't muscle mass.

More weight issues for Mike Williams?
There's been some buzz that the Lions are getting more concerned about Mike Williams and his weight problems. Williams carried extra pounds last year and was never in excellent shape. Last year, he fluctuated between 245 and 250 pounds and the Lions want him down to 235, if not 230, and early indications are that Williams hasn't exactly hopped the fast track to that destination. Stay tuned.

You better believe!!

wait 'til he gets into a system that knows how to utilize him...

Whatever happens, this is going to be one of the most anticipated, anxious and exciting draft for a Bronco fan, IN A LONG, LONG TIME...

What does it say about your organization when you spend 3 straight first round draft picks on WRs, and your starting WR is the immortal Scotty Vines?

Why not dream alittle...

If we could come out of this draft with MIKE WILLIAMS, POPE and LENDALE WHITE...

Talk about adding some serious SIZE and MIGHT to your offense...

We could just WILL our way to score and out SMASHMOUTH the opposition on a weekly basis.

I don't care how you do it Shanahan, just use some of your MAGIC and get it done.

They need new draft scouts.
