The # 3 pick in the draft

lawnmowerman · December 31, 2006 1:37PM

The Browns and the Bucs will need a coin flip to decide who gets the #3 pick in the draft.

Im sure the Bucs will find a way to lose that as well

Is the tentative list out yet? (For the non-playoff teams, that is)...

lawnmowerman · December 31, 2006 1:44PM

Espn listed the top 5

Raiders
Lions
Bucs/Browns

I missed the rest. I was busy laughing at the Bucs record

Cowboys should win that game going away. Parcells needs to get back that postseason victory feeling. It's been almost 10 years since his last playoff win with the Jets in 1998.

dallas lost to the lions was a good thing.....i said this in another thread.. they can beat the seahawks.. and the bears..

both those teams cant move the ball on offense.. sets up well for dallas to make the championship game..

1 problem is if the eagles get blownout by the giants which i can see happening! then cowboys will have to go to the saints and there air attack will kill us again.

See, this is where fans of relatively successful franchises have it all wrong. If you have an OK season (9-7 or whatever) and get bounced in the playoffs your season was a wash. Your team was never quite good enough to give anyone other than the delusional fan hopes of a long playoff run, and you're stuck drafting in the low teens. But if you're a fan of a perennially terrible team-- like, oh, I don't know, the Detroit Lions for example-- you get 4 MONTHS of breathless anticipation as you await the April draft. While the rest of you only get to a Superbowl every 10 years or so, those of us in Motown get our own Superbowl EVERY APRIL! How sweet is that??

its amazing that the lions won today... its great for the team that they won.. but for the fans its great also BUT deep down inside you have to say wow now we have the 2nd pick... and watch the raiders will make the 1st pick of the draft a hall of famer while matt millen will draft a PUTZ!

i feel bad for lions fans i really do.. i hope they win the superbowl soon! or at least a playoff game

but you have to be happy with roy williams the lions roy williams .. he is the real deal!

The Bucs need to draft a head coach. LOL

I will agree with that!

You know, the more I think about it, you should invest in rookie cards of the number three pick in the draft as well as the #1 pick. In fact, the #3 pick is probably more likely to be a top 5 all-time NFL player than the #1 pick, simply because the Lions passed on him.

Great point. The #3 pick should also be a perennial All-Pro player. But in a way the Lions 'passed' on the #1 pick as well, by virtue of this fluky win in Dallas, so whomever the Raiders draft is a stone lock for a fabulous career.

In any event, THE COUNTDOWN IS ON. While the rest of these schmucks are fretting over nonsense like 'home field advantage' and 'matchup problems' men like you and I, Tom, are priviledged with the blessing of knowing that the REAL football season has just begun, and won't conclude until April; at that our beloved Boys of Honolulu Blue will be the belles of the ball all the way up until April!

There is one more bright side to being a Lions fan: I read in another post where a Broncos fan is so devastated he can't even bring himself to watch the NFL playoffs, and I can't blame him. As a Lions fan, we never have that problem.
