Lions 06 Draft Picks
Round
1. LB Ernie Sims
2. S Daniel Bullocks
3. RB Brian Calhoun
5. OT Jonathon Scott
6. CB Dee McCann
7. OG Fred Matua
7. LB A.Cannon
MY GRADE: C
Not the best draft.. but hell they've had really good draft grades some recent years.. and it didnt work out. Except Roy Williams and maybe Teddy Lehman if he gets and stays healthy.
I liked going LB with the first pick.. and thought he was the second best LB behind Hawk in the draft. As long as he doesnt get a concussion in week 2.
We basically did a good job for once at FILLING SOME NEEDS, as opposed to taking what i like to call the "sexy pick". The sexy pick at number nine this year would have been Matt Leinart because he was a much hyped player going into the draft.. and alot of people projected him going 3rd or 4rd.
I liked the rb we picked.. but feel that we should have picked up a OT with the 4rd round pick instead of another RB. They have Kevin Jones, and just recently re-signed Shawn Bryson. I think Martz wanted Calhoun.. but thats okay because I loved that they went defense with the first two picks for once. I believe they went offense with the first pick for seven straight years, if Im remembering correctly.
Anywho.. how would you grade this draft?
