I've hated almost all of the decisions Millen has made for Detroit since he's been the GM. Today he redeemed himself nicely. For those that might not know, he swapped the 6th overall pick to Cleveland, for their 7th overall pick and their 2nd round pick (36th overall I think). Cleveland then Picked KW2 And the Lions picked Roy Willams. Awesome move.

For the 30th overall pick, we traded a 2nd and 4th this year and a 5th from next year to Kansas City for their 1st round, (30th overall) pick this year. With that pick, we took KEVIN JONES! Two HUGE HUGE pick-ups this year in the first round. Roy will help Rogers and Streets stretch the Defenses, and open things up for Jones / Pinner. AWSOME job by Millen and Mooch in this year's draft. So far Dansby and Boulware are still available too, and Detriot picks 5th in the next round!

The Lions used their pick in the 2nd round on Teddy Lehman, OLB from Oklahoma. Dansby woulda have been nice, but Lehman is just as great imo. Excellent Excellent draft for the Lions this year.

I thought as the season went on Fitzsimmons got better and better. He did a decent job of catching the ball. If you're gonna pass on Troupe by picking up a 6'2" 237lb OLB that runs a 4.5 40, it's hard to say it was a bad decision.
