Hello my Lionettes,Again I am sorry for not posting in awhile. This one will be a bit short because I am just getting over a bad cold. Sleep has been scarce this past week. I will post more often as we get closer to the draft. I thought I would be a bit clever with a mock draft. This one is my picks for the Lions based on characters from football movies. This is a sort of wish list not dissing any of the players on the current roster but I am treating this as a sort of expansion experiment. I would draft franchise players in major areas of need. A Quarterback, a Linebacker, Running Back, Safety, Defensive Tackle, Wide Receiver and Offensive Tackle. The unfortunate circumstance is that if these were real players thay would all most likely be 1st rounders. I have listed them by round, position, character name from movie, the actor playing them and the film.
1st Round QB Shane Falco (Keanu Reeves The Replacements)
2nd Round LB Bobby Boucher (Adam Sandler The Waterboy)
3rd Round RB Earl Megget (Nelly The Longest Yard)
4th Round Safety Torres (Lobo Sebastian The Longest Yard)
5th Round DT Switowski (Bob Sapp The Longest Yard)
6th Round WR Rod Tidwell (Cuba Gooding Jr. Jerry Maguire)
7th Round OT Jumbo Fumiko (Ace Yonamine The Replacements)
Hope you all get a good laugh out of this mock draft. Take care everyone and until next time GO LIONS!
