Mayhew's parting draft class of 2014

[Rollingthndr]

DETROIT LIONS
ROUND PICK PLAYER POSITION SCHOOL

1 10 Eric Ebron TE North Carolina- Can't block for shit. Runs wrong routes. Drops all kinds of passes.
9 career TD's

2 40 Kyle Van Noy OLB BYU- Not even on the fucking team

3 76 Travis Swanson C Arkansas- Mediocre to below average center. Dom Raiola with a better attitude.

4 133 Nevin Lawson CB Utah State- OK little nickleback

4 136 Larry Webster DE Bloomsburg- Who the hell is this?

5 158 Caraun Reid DT Princeton- At home, playing with his chemistry set

6 189 TJ Jones WR Notre Dame- Solid backup. Probably the best pick.

7 229 Nate Freese K Boston College- Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight.


Also, this guy hired Caldwell.

It's a damn miracle we are above .500

 

[Old Lion]

Lawson has been better as of late. We might keep him. Same for TJJ. Hopefully Ebron and Swanson gone next year.

Don't forget his last draft where he took that G in the first round who was such a high character guy.

The fake ass brittle bitch version of LT?

LOL The dude is starting for the 49ers, where Mayhew went.

I remember writing an entire post about firing that dude immediately after that pick. 3rd round talent that Millen's right hand man picks in the first.

Trust me, Tomlinson is good.

- Mayhew

4 136 Larry Webster DE Bloomsburg- Who the hell is this?

Hilarious. He likely didn’t know the draft was on that week when the Lions called him.

There were probably power-5, all-conference, first team defensive players on the board when we took this guy.

Dont get me wrong. Even I had him as our 2nd round pick. I thought he was supposed to be smart. How hard is it to play Guard? Its like the easiest position in football. Dude cant seem to figure out what he is supposed to do.

Caraun Reid can afford that expensive chemistry set he'd always dreamed of.


I forgot about Nate Freese. He's still ahead of me by three in career field goals.

I wanted Chris Boswell. There was not a single poster that is on or was on this board that agreed with me.

Im sure I wanted Hanson.


I still don't really care for Prater tbh. He isn't Jason Hanson. And doesn't kickoff, which makes no sense.

If Hanson wanted to keep playing he would have. Dont kid yourself.

That one is on the FO.

Don't nickel and dime a great.


Every great player we've had has quit. All three of them.

Why didnt other teams go after him and if so why didnt he sign with them?

 

[broncosmitty]

He wasn't going to play for anyone else.

And he wasn't going to play for peanuts.


Hanson has spoken at length on all of it. He's not bitter. Just retired.

 

[LionsWhyMe]

Lawson has been better as of late.

It's a trend for Lions players to have a better than average year the year before their contract year.

Its not just Lions players.

I remember when TP and Lionstops would go on and on and on about how awful Mayhew was, how he was the worst GM in the NFL etc...and the rest of us were like "Noooooo! Mayhew is good!! Stoooop it!!!!"

My memory is hazy but it went something like that.

So are they team hopping now following Mayhew around?
