@TheAngeltoDemon It's not like Calvin Johnson was a super 5 star recruit, he was a 4 star recruit and ranked 4th WR overall by scouting companies. They also didn't have the spread option and Paul Johnson as coach then. Ga Tech has some good WR's, they also had Demaryius Thomas and Stephen Hill is going to the NFL this year.
Matt millen actually did the right thing. Calvin Johnson is a superstar. And those bastards on espn and on the Internet were saying trade him and Gaines Adams straight up. Imagine the lions if they hadn't have calvin, and imagine him with the bucs. Crazy thoughts.
kiper is a douche but he was right about Stafford. i can remember watching this and watching his facial expressions and i knew that he was going to turn the lions around. all joy no oh shit i was drafted by the shitty lions i hate that they drafted me.
2007 was a great draft: Megatron, AP, Joe Thomas, Pat Willis, Revis Island, Woodley, Bowe, Timmons, Griffin. All of who are some of the best at their position today.
The 2 dumbasses below me...really? We got jawalruss, um got kicked to the curb last year. Lions made great pics with Charles Rodgers and Roy Williams. Bottom line this draft had Jawalruss or Quinn, either way you were fucked! Raider haters gonna hate...you either love us or hate us. More of the latter so eat a cock all of you.
@LilCJ80 ur dum, the Browns picked Brady quinn in the 20`s. With the third overall pick they selected Joe Thomas who has been a prowbowl left tackle since he has arrived and is the best left tackle in the game. U can make a point with AD since I have never seen a running back like him, but I would have Joe Thomas over Patrick Willis all day.
He will be the best promise. Based on the 19 regular season games he's played he's better then they were at that point.. Rogers got to sit back and watch Favre on a good team, then took over a good team. Stafford got drafted by an 0-16 team lol he's better u will see. Everything about the Patriots is a lie... Like how Oakland should of played the Rams in 2001 not you.. and u get caught cheating and they sweep it under the rug act like it didn't happen. Enjoy ur glory while it lasts
Ur system.. Ur offensive line look at the other stuff that makes those QB's lives so easy buddy.. Brady? ur team cheats and has been caught doing so lol
@BigTheNoodlez Over "My Quarterback"? Well, "My Quarterback" has 3 Super Bowl rings, 2 MVPs, 2 Super Bowl MVPs, 34 4th quarter comebacks, has won 30 straight reg. season home games, 6x Pro Bowler, etc. Now, is Matthew Stafford still better than "My Quarterback"? No :)
Basically the Lions had the 1st Round, 1st Pick in the 2007 Draft because JaMarcus Russell is no longer relevant. If he ever was relevant. Detroit has done some great drafting over the last 5 years. The Lions are back!! Restore The Roar!!
@SupremeGodSon lol didn't they draft stafford in the last 5 years mr injury prone and bad qb overall staffords lucky he's got calvin or he would be screwed
@BTBBaous lol yeah i was thinking that too...but i think russell was the only TRUE bust...quinn was over-hyped, i saw that 1 coming.... and ted ginn still is a return guy and 3rd-4th wr on depth chart...kinda saw that coming too....but then again as a buckeye fan i can imagine him being a desean jackson in another scheme
this is why mel kipers a fucking moron. You dont take a QB just to take a QB. Calvin Johnsons already among the top 3 WRs in the NFL today, Brady Quinn's trying hard to have a backup role. Fucking Mel Kiper the doofus
Calvin Johnson and Ndamukong Suh are the best draft choices the Lions have made over the past 20 years. Everything after Barry Sanders sucked for the most part
I am so glad that JaMarcus Russell was getting all the attention in this draft class. The Raiders jumping on his bandwagon, let my Lions to select The Best Player since Barry Sanders. Thank you forever Oakland!
@HectorDaBull best player for the lions since barry sanders not other teams calvin has a ton of holes in his game, but Suh is probably better too just less glory at his position
@fenzo53 Look it up . Andre Johnson has led teh NFL in receiving yardage per game 3 of the past 4 years including last year. the man just produces. Megatron has potential but has yet to consistently put up big season like AJ does. MEgatron doesn't even have back to back 1000+ yard seasons yet. the top 5 WRs in the game are AJ, Fitz, Wayne, Megatron and Greg Jennings in that order. JMO. I don' t go off potential, i go off what i see the player do on the field.
i feel bad for top picks, yea they get the respect of being a top pick but they go to some of the worst teams in the nfl, while being some of the best players in college
I know Calvin will be a big part of the Lions resurgence but after they drafted him here they should have traded him right away like everyone thought they were going to do. I'm personally glad they didn't cause it most likely would have been to Tampa Bay (division rival) but if they had they could have gotten so much value for him like picks and players and that would have prevented an 0-16 season. There was no sense in taken another WR for the 4th time in 5 years.
That was soooo funny how everybody thought Brady Quinn was going to be something special for some reason. If the lions would have opted for Brady Quinn instead of Calvin, I would've FLIPPED. they would've had more than just one winless season.
@FranchiseRockets I wouldn't go as far as calling him an idiot for saying Calvin is the best receiver in the NFL. I mean really, has any receiver done so much with so little? Besides, if im correct, AJ has never had a season with 10+ touchdowns. I truly believe Andre is no longer the consensus number 1 receiever in the NFL. That's just my two cents.
@badmuthur No, they just have sucked. In all honesty though it sucks to have the top picks year in and out, because you now have invested a good chunk of your money on a few players, who haven't proven they can play @ the NFL level. So in reality, they suck because they have young expensive players, and can't afford many complimentary players.
looking back at the best available at that time there was brady quin at number three hahahahha and then a bunch of losers that round out the top 12 but with some great players such as joe thomas and p willis
This guy is obviously a great player,the Lions just gotta find a good TE or a # 2 receiver to take the dbs off him because you already know that when a team plays the Lions,Johnson's gonna get doubled or tripled
@bcherefosho Obviously you're not a Lions fan, because you would know they picked up Nate Burleson Wr from seattle, and Tony scheffler from Denver in the offseason. Not to mention Brandon Pettigrew who they drafted last year, and this year Javhid Best, who can act as a receiver. Stafford has a lot of targets to choose from this year, but Obviously megatron being his no.1.
lions have probably had the best draft picks recently... they got their WR they got their HB... and now they got their QB. They just need a number 2 WR which i think they'll get and a good corner they will be 8-8 next year
i feel sorry for Calvin, he got soo much talent but went to the Lions & now is etched in history as part of the worst team in NFL history 0-16. if i was him i wouldnt signed an extension on his contract & go to free agencies or demand a trade to a good team. Maybe the New York Giants, they need a tall vertical receiver. If they can trade Williams they can trade Johnson
sorry dude.calvin johnson heart and soul lives with the lions.besides giants already have hakeem nicks.he's the future for them.hes pretty sick already
Calvin Johnson i believe is the best all-around wide receiver since Larry Fitzgerald. It is a shame that he had to go to the Lions, and i believe they will trade him like they did with Roy Williams, I just don't think he will reach his full potential with the Lions, although Matt Stafford can get him the ball, so maybe in a few years him and Stafford can be like Manning and Harrison, but i doubt it
dude he has started 8 games and only has 5 receptions. Now im no genius,but that is scary bad for any starting reciever. louis murphy could be pretty good though
I was shocked Matt didn't pick Tedd Ginn, Jr. - that would have been a typical Millen fuck up.
Then again, Calvin Johnson was the best receiving prospect ever (other than maybe Randy Moss) so there was no way they were going to pass on him.

lions have probably had the best draft picks recently... they got their WR they got their HB... and now they got their QB. They just need a number 2 WR which i think they'll get and a good corner they will be 8-8 next year

@packers718 dude Lions won't be .500 for a long time. I root for you guys (Saints fan) but you just have too many holes.

@packers718 Lions have a HB? That's news to me since Smith blew out hit knee and Morris is average at best.

i feel sorry for Calvin, he got soo much talent but went to the Lions & now is etched in history as part of the worst team in NFL history 0-16. if i was him i wouldnt signed an extension on his contract & go to free agencies or demand a trade to a good team. Maybe the New York Giants, they need a tall vertical receiver. If they can trade Williams they can trade Johnson

The drafting of Calvin Johnson and Ernie Sims were Matt Millen's best decision's ever.

Calvin Johnson i believe is the best all-around wide receiver since Larry Fitzgerald. It is a shame that he had to go to the Lions, and i believe they will trade him like they did with Roy Williams, I just don't think he will reach his full potential with the Lions, although Matt Stafford can get him the ball, so maybe in a few years him and Stafford can be like Manning and Harrison, but i doubt it

dude he has started 8 games and only has 5 receptions. Now im no genius,but that is scary bad for any starting reciever. louis murphy could be pretty good though
