Larry Brown #43 Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 I heard on the radio today that the Detroit Lions don't have a single player on their current roster that the team drafted from 2002-2006. That's astonishing. The Skins have taken their share of criticism for poor drafts and for trading away too many picks over the years, but even we have the following guys drafted between '02 and '06 on the roster: Dockery (left and returned), Cooley, Carlos Rogers, Rocky McIntosh, Reed Doughty, and Kedric Golston, and I have little doubt that Sean Taylor would still be a Redskin if he were still with us. Anyway, here are the glorious Detroit Lion drafts, 2002-2006. Enjoy. 2006 Sims, Ernie LB Florida State Bullocks, Daniel S Nebraska Calhoun, Brian RB Wisconsin Scott, Jonathan T Texas McCann, Dee CB West Virginia Matua, Fred G Southern California Cannon, Anthony LB Tulane 2005 Williams, Mike WR Southern California Cody, Shaun DT Southern California Wilson, Stanley CB Stanford Orlovsky, Dan QB Connecticut Swancutt, Bill DE Oregon State Goddard, Johnathan LB Marshall 2004 Williams, Roy WR Texas Jones, Kevin RB Virginia Tech Lehman, Teddy LB Oklahoma Smith, Keith CB McNeese State Lewis, Alex LB Wisconsin Butler, Kelly T Purdue 2003 Rogers, Charles WR Michigan State Bailey, Boss LB Georgia Redding, Cory DE Texas Pinner, Artose RB Kentucky Holt, Terrence S N.C. State Davis, James LB West Virginia Kircus, David WR Grand Valley State Johnson, Ben T Wisconsin Adams, Blue CB Cincinnati 2002 Harrington, Joey QB Oregon Edwards, Kalimba DE S. Carolina Goodman, André CB S. Carolina Taylor, Jonathan DE Montana State Owens, John TE Notre Dame Cash, Chris CB USC Staley, Luke RB Brigham Young Murphy, Matt TE Maryland Rogers, Victor T Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitman21ST Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 5 Drafts, 9 players who have actually done something, none past the third round, and all but 5 or 6 who have stayed around till now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kappaluvacee Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 I still can't believe he's an analyst talking about teams deficiencies. I understand he's a far better commentator than GM, but it would make my blood boil if I had to hear Vinny every week calling a game and talking about other team's problems.

RunClintonRun26 Posted July 24, 2010 Share Posted July 24, 2010 This really is a perfect indication of how bad the Lions have been. You can never have a solid core of players who believe in the system if there are none who last more than a few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
