How Brian Calhoun was drafted
http://www.mlive.com/lions/index.ssf...ions_need.html
If it was any other organization, I'd be surprised. With the Lions, not so much.

Haha. The shady offensive guy in the background made the pick.
I'm going to drive by Allen Park and yell who I want them to draft from my car. They'll probably make the pick.
Or maybe Millen goes to a fortune teller the day before the draft.

Funny story, although who's to say Calhoun wasn't ranked high on the Lions' draft board, ex. second behind the offensive lineman in question. The guy wasn't a bum or a reach as a prospect/draft pick, he's been unfortunately injured.
Speaking of Calhoun, he'll be healthy enough to play this season?

I wonder who the OT in question was.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/history/fulldraft?season=2006
IF its Jonthan Scott we got him in Round 5. It still was the not the right decision because Calhoun still stinks but not as bad as reaching for Scott in Round 3. Could have been Jason Spitz,Rashad Butler,Jean-Giles,Guy Whimper,Willie Colon, Joseph Toledo.

All we need is a fake mustache and we can pretend be Kowalski.
Here is the list of geniuses to look like.

What is with Millen and M. All his childrens names start with the letter M.

immediately following in the 3rd round was Jason Spitz(11). Later in 3rd Rashard Butler(25). max jean-gilles was top of round 4. personally it would have been cool if someone said "elvis dumervil" instead or freddy keiaho, gabe watson, jerious norwood.

Be gone you. That wasn't even a good diss. And how am I a traitor? If anything I am a patriot as I actually had a say.

Maybe Millen has tourettes and instead of swear words he only yells out coaches with the letter M and names of wide receivers.

Maybe in 05, Milen was using the prior years draft board. Williams was on the top of his list so he took him.
05 was another one of those panic picks. We wanted a corner and when Carlos Rogers went off the board that shady offensive coach probably yelled out Mike Williams. Or maybe it was the tv and Millen heard Kiper talking about Mike Williams.
