Detroit Lions draft Gosder Cherilus OT 2008 nfl draft

[WaibelTime]

I remember being soooooooo pissed that they didnt draft Mendenhall. now, i wouldnt want him even if we did draft him

[YOURDOOM1996]

@WaibelTime Uhh, Yeah, He has more yards last season that all Detroit's running backs combined for the last 2 years not counting this year.

[bluetiege]

Cherilus sucks. Many GM's had him no better than round 3 and some had him in round 4. Millen takes him with the 17th pick and he's turned out to be crap like most of his other picks. Millen was a complete joke as a talent assessor. For a guy who talks so tough and found it so easy to blame others he never blamed himself for all his laughable picks. Now he babbles cluelessly on TV as a garbage analyst pretending he knows what hes talking about.

[mdogjohnny]

that my cousin

[Malcolm311]

@mdogjohnny you cousin sucks at run/pass blocking

[mike0n0jake0inc]

lol when i watched this, i never heard of the guy haha

[thefireburnswithme]

Cherilus was a fucking shitty pick and the best pick millen ever made was shaun rogers.....

[KRISPYtheKREME]

seven words: second team all acc in first round.

i think that was the foreshadow right there.

[alexglauer]

Whatever, they suck.

[Quizline89]

The Detroit Lions are so clueless come draft day, they could have all 32 picks in the 1st round and they'd still come up with all busts. Or better yet, they'll call Matt Millen for advice. They could have every playbook in full detail of every NFL team and still have no solution to put 1 in the win column. I thought the 24 straight road loss record was the epitome of horrible, but this atrocious franchise continues to surprise me in agony.

[Hitman27100]

@Quizline89 Mayhew has shown he can run a draft

[kingsupafly]

im not sure about this guy. think otah would have been a better option. trading away roy was a terrible move in my opinion. but avmotox, your a bit of a chump buddy, paying out calvin johnson? your a dope.

[Hitman27100]

@kingsupafly Do you still support your statement 1 year later?

[terrwah]

Im a lions fan, but you other lions fans are a bunch of idiots. Your running your mouth about how you think you know everything and that Mendenhall is a better pick, well guess what, he aint going anywhere without a decent line. Cherilus is probably the best thing Millen has ever done for this team

[CoreCityHoops95]

he's so good he's a back up for false-start George Foster

[avmotox]

from a real lions fan of 24 years, Cherilus is a bust just like everyone else. He can't even beat out George Foster, come on. Millen has done one thing right, Ernie Sims. #11 and #81 drop way too many passes and can not, repeat CAN NOT get off of the jame at the line.

[avmotox]

sorry, jam at the line.

[hirofan]

I agree. Cherilus is one of Millen's better picks. Then again that's not saying much.

I'm going to see the Lions here in Cleveland tonight. I'll get a good look at all the new guys. Meanwhile the Browns have George Foster now.

[nwo4life2111]

@terrwah Dude im not a Lions fan and i can outsmart you about your own team the best thing Matt Milen has done for the Lions is when he step away from the Lions before the end of the 0-16 season so you don't know shit kid you been watching 13-14 losing seasons the last 3 seasons make this 4 this season

[aznfugitives]

@terrwah no disrespect to u at all bro, but hes not as good as he was...millen...is a retard....lmfaoooo the best thing he did for us was.......wait...nothing....ju­st like our record in 08 :'( fuck u millen! one day where gnna tear everything up

[KaoTiX10]

@terrwah turns out this was an awful pick, calvin johnson is probably the best thing M,M. has done for the lions, and now you can think before calling other lions fans "idiots".  SB rings > off sides + micro fracture knee surgery

[terrwah]

jvdv45, go fuck yerself. Im sick of seeing Kitna being blown on his ass every other play. Besides, Kevin Smith is gonna be 15 times better than Jones or Bell. And not to mention, now hes got a good linemen to protect him

[ougrizlies]

this really wasn't a bad pick. sure we left jeff otah on the board but we took the next best tackle available and we took a position of need. for once millen actually did his job so we shouldnt be bitchin him out

[homerj519]

jvdv45, tell me, how good is a running back without an offensive line? What good is mendenhall if he's running into 300 lb defensive tackles at or behind the line of scrimmage. Picking mendenhall with our shit offensive line(shit is being nice) is like sending a soldier to war without guns/ammo or a tank....

[BostonCream45th]

Gosder is a beast. Yall should be happy you got him. You guys worrying aboput a running back they they aint gonna do shit without a OL, wait and see what kind of a talent yall got.

[priceisright14]

F U MILLEN!

[jvdv45]

im a lions fan and i was at the draft decked out in all lions gear and when i did not hear the name mendenhall called out i wanted to fucking kill myself i stood in a line for 12 hours for dick sucking matt millen to pick Gosder Cherilus. Millen i hope you fucking die sucking the ford familys cock you bitch

[RCmack]

I follow football and I've never heard of Gosder Cherlius. I hope Matt Millen knows what he's doing.

Illinois' running back Rashard Mendenhall would have been a better pick.

[stealthamo]

you think matt millen knows what he's doing?

HAHAHAHAHA. Oh man.

[RCmack]

I was being sarcastic.

Cherlius was often beaten by opposing pass rushers while at Boston College. This pick is a joke.

[PACKmanN]

RCmack then you know nothing about football. I can tell you guys this, if Gosder wasn't moved to LT his senior year he would have been taken higher. He will be a great RT for you guys.

[driftingtheworld]

They need to fire everyone all players, staff, coaching & BLOW UP all proof of the lions EVER exsisted and then start all over

from scratch. They need to PAY THEM BY

HOW MANY WINS THEY GET for example you start out at $400,000 base pay Each win

you get x amount more, SEE michigan loves football so much they still sell out the stadiums, t.v, sales are strong so they dont

change Vital aspects while we look like donkeys ( WHAT happened to kevin jones? )

and lets not draft adrain peterson? ugg!

[philis05]

Thank You Millen!!! **choking myself**

[googlename0516]

im doin the same thing!
