Mikie2times Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I'm not sure if the Lions coveting a guy we drafted is a good thing, but for those that just assume we could have traded down the local news reported the Lions were very interested in Whitner, and may have taken him over Sims had he been available.

bschmoove Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I think as time goes on we are going to hear more about how people wanted Whitner and McCargo and the picks - and trade - were justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jarthur31 Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I'd believe the rumors in those Lions football boards than anything ESPN says these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 But Mort said that wasn't true..... 678950[/snapback] Next year the Bills are going to call Mort before doing anything on draft day... Marv: Hi Mort Mort: Hi you incompetent old fart who replaced my best friend Marv: Is it okay if I go pinch a loaf Mort: Forgot your Depends huh you fossil... Marv: You're the smartest guy I know Mort...how's your kid doing at Arkansas? Mort: He transfered you senile fool.. Marv: Oh I forgot he couldn't break the depth chart..I can't wait to have the opportunity to draft him in the 1st round... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mary owen Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 you gotta figure Jaroun knew something. The Lions organization might have had scouts looking at Whitner all year long, while DJ was still there. He knows better than any "expert" what DET really needed and wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeF Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Another thought on this...The Lions went Safety in round 2....kind of adds credence that they were looking for a S early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's that working? 679053[/snapback] Ask TD how that turned out....oh yea, he got fired. Marv is the captain of this canoe and a pretty fine one at that.
