I know this isn't about the Pistons-but since you started to talk about the Lions...You guys are really lucky that you got Luke Staley in the 7th round. He was the Doak Walker award winner(best RB) last year!. I know he has had some injuries-but he is still a major steal. I watched him a lot when he was in college and can tell you he is good. He is strong-fast-with good hands and he can block.-The only knock on him is his injuries.-But this guy is a touchdown machine!

Good luck to the Lions

I honestly think the guy could have been a steal in the 5th or 6th round, let alone the 7th. Great pick in my book, hopefully the knee injury he has isn't too serious and he can possibly win the 3rd down running back role.

I say 4-12 5-11 at best

I don't want them to sneak up and win any games they don't have to. they need at least a couple more drafts to get back to so- so level and why slip a surprise 9-7 in there?

and they still need D- backs..... badly. watch when minnesota come to town. Or green bay. or chicago. anybody with big recievers . There's a 60 yard bomb I don't trust their LB corps. too many question marks:

Ware hipple or long don't have the pedigree that Joey does (Now keep in mine I wanted jammer here cause the secondary is so beat up. The bright side is jammer is holding out in san diego ..and he probably would have done so here too)

yes I know you are saying "well Ware was a heisman trophy winner in a passing offense" yeah they basically played 'everybody go long like when you played touch football in the street' style. Ware never had to actually read many coveragesplus when Houston played a real team ( a Nebraska or Miami) It got beaten like stepchildren. Long played at a running school in a running offense with a butter noodle arm. (hipple didn't have a gun either and he really wasn't reguarded that highly)
Harrington actually played in a highly respected football conference in a pro ( not gimmicked trick play) offense

The Curse of Bobby Layne.............


Hopefully this ends soon. I don't care if it's McMahon, Harrington, or even Dreisbach, this city has suffered long enough.

just kidding

I understand your a spartan fan but cleaves was in detroit for like ten minutes. Are there even any positive mateen cleaves moments to remember? Well other than trading him for Barry and a 1st rounder. I am sorry but I had to give you a hard time being the big U of M fan that I am.

I was pretty upset when we chose Cleaves over Mo Pete. Hey, if your going to pick a Spartan, why not atleast pick a good one. Cleaves was a great floor general in college, but man...he just is physically challenged when it comes to basketball skills.

I thought it was a great pick myself a slow pg who can't shoot but hey he ain't our problem anymore I do think that pick may have been kind of a pr move myself. People were not interested in the pistons at the time so why not draft a popular guy from the area. Looking back at that draft I wished we would have drafted one of these guys (all of which were taken after cleaves) Turkoglu, Qrich or like you mentioned morris peterson.

I can't argue with what you just said. If we would have taken Q, we would have had some leverage with Jerry. Maybe he doesn't opt out knowing we can possibly afford to let him walk with someone waiting in the wings to take over.

Anybody excited to see what Ford Field looks like?

I really want to try and get tickets to get down there and see what it looks like in person this year, but it's a pretty good drive.
