I have been keeping up with the Lions off season move and I just want to touch on a couple of things.
1.) Why on earth did they release their best RB and DE? Kevin Jones was not the best or the most healthy, but he was a good runner and to replace him with Aveon Cason and Tatum Bell...what is Millen thinking. And Kilmba Edwars? What the $!@#$@#$? He was a good lineman. Add that to point 2 and we are screwed up front.
2.) Why did they feel it necessary to trade Shaun Rodgers? I know he was not real happy in Detroit, but for crying out loud, no one is happy in Detroit, except Millen. But what did we get, a secondary, secondary player and a 3rd round pick?
3.) This was the only thing that I found that was good...we improved some on the secondary. One of the other Lions podcasts that I listen too placed a "tally" on who drafted more of the Lions player, Matt Millen or John Gruden...I thought it was funny.
All that said, lets see what Wide Receiver we take with our first pick in the draft. Maybe Mario Manningham. That would be just like Millen. I know he was a good receiver at Michigan, but just how well will he translate his game into the NFL? I guess we will see what happens...oh one last thought, if I haven't mentioned this before...FIRE MILLEN!!!!!!!!
