Who Should the Lions Draft, if they have the first pick in the NFL Draft?

First off, there has to be a QB drafted some time, whether it's Quinn or Troy Smith or even Chad Henne if he comes out early. How popular would he be in Detroit, eh? \nStill, a team in this condition should trade down for multiple picks. They are going to have to do something with Mike Williams, as well, so he might be decent trade bait as well. They need serious help on both sides of the ball, but obviously, Kitna is nobody's answer at QB--the most important position in football. \n\nHonestly, I'm shocked at how the team underachieves. If you look up and down that roster (except at QB), you'd swear this team could go 4-12 without practicing. It's a shame these guys just can't get it together. \nHowever, when a team (business) does so poorly, one must look at management first.

saint or browns. they are drafting players that can play right away and in five years they will be seasoned veterans and be great teams. if there current drafts keep going the same way.

Assuming you mean offensive skill positions, I'll go with Vernon Davis  starting at the 49'er TE over Eric Johnson, although they will employ 2 tight end sets since no one else on the team can catch the ball.  TE's have the least to learn since they obviously have had to block in college.  No QB's or RB's will start - DeAngelo Williams will have the best chance to start for the Panthers; Young and Leinhart will ride the pine for AT LEAST a year, maybe even 2! WR's will definitely not start until maybe midseason since they have to learn how to the blocking game which is vital.

Well, that's a tough one. It could be Peyton Manning, but with James gone, he may be getting sacked more. Tomlinson may be a good choice. He always seems to be a good fantasy pick. Edgerrin James is heading into a very high powered offense and could be a great pick. Shuan Alexander had a buch of yards and TDs last year, he could be a great pick, but he lost one of his key blockers. If I had the first pick, I think I would still go with Peyton Manning.

Pick Blount. the league is full of average guards like Peterson.

My Jets got the 4th pick; we're right behind you. It is possible that the Texans could draft Ferguson, the best lineman in the country. But I've never heard of an offensive lineman taken 1st overall. I wonder who the Jets will take...better not be a lousy pick.

Reggie Bush. The Texans just signed David Carr to an extension so that rules out a quarterback the only other possibility is the tackle out of Virginia which the Texans need but who takes a tackle with the first pick in the draft

1st pick:Houston:OL D'Brickashaw Ferguson.Houston NEEDS an offensive lineman.D. Davis and Carr have potential. But they need protection.\n\n2nd pick:New Orleans:QB Matt Leinart.Brooks is still fumbling,and Vince Young is leaning towards skipping the draft according to ESPN.com.\n\n3rd pick:Tennessee:RB Reggie Bush.Tennessee has no good RB, and Reggie won't stand not being in the top 3.\n\n4th pick:New York Jets:QB Jay Cutler.LT almost threw as much TD passes as all of the Jets QB's.And as I said,Young is leaning towards skipping the draft.Plus, Chad Pennington is injury prone.\n\n5th pick:Green Bay:RB DeAngelo Williams.Ahman Green will tutor him to be better than the master.Ahman had too bad of an "off" season.\n\n6th pick:Oakland:DB Michael Huff.Everyone knows Oakland has one of the best QB to WR combos. They just need a defense. They only had 5 INT's, worst in the regular season.\n\n7th pick:San Francisco:DE Mario Williams.San Fran will have to stop the run. Mario is one of the best DE's in the draft.\n\n8th pick:Buffalo:DE Tamba Hali.Another team that needs to stop the run.At the beginning of the season, they were the worst run defense.\n\n9th pick:Arizona:OT Marcus McNeill.Detroit trades for Josh McCown.And with Warner,an O-Line is all they need......On the defensive side.\n\n10th pick:Arizona:OLB A.J. Hawk.And there is part of the defense. Another team that needs a DB also.\n\nThere is your top ten from me.

The following is my list of what players would be taken number 1 if that team had the number 1 pick.\n\nLions - Troy Smith (they've never had a mobile quarterback, and with Kevin Jones, Roy Williams, etc., Troy Smith is the missing peice, as long as he doesn't flop like that b1tch Joey Harrington)\n\nRaiders - Brady Quinn (Aaron Brooks is mobile enough, they really need to fix their offensive line, but a quarterback with a high football IQ would be better than a mobile one)\n\nArizona - Linebacker (sorry, I don't pay attention to coollege defensive players)\n\nSan Francisco - Calvin Johnson (another reciever to give Alex Smith better options, especially if Vernon gets healthy)\n\nMiami - Offensive Lineman (again, don't follow them either)\n\nCleveland - Calvin Johnson (Charlie Frye is going to be their man, so they will start loading up the offense for him)\n\nHouston - Mike Hart (to make up for not taking Reggie Bush last year, they still need a running back)\n\nTampa Bay - Who knows, they need everything at this point.

As stated earlier, they have no chance with Millen as GM. However, I am hoping more than anything in the world to see Matt step up to the podium at the NFL Draft and utter what would be an instant classic, "with the 9th pick in the 2006 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select Santonio Holmes, WR, Ohio State"\n\nPriceless

Never, it is a proven fact that running backs are a dime a dozen.  You can always find a decent one down the line in the draft.  You should always take a premier defensive player with the first pick, unless there is a franchise qb available.  i.e. elway, P.Manning.  I wouldn't use the first pick on either Vince young or Leinart.

The first overall pick will Adrian Peterson but he will be going to the San Fransico 49ers.

Being from Detroit, I know it will be Kitna- although I would like to see McCown. Kitna is alright, I think the young guy will be better suited and more successful for this team.

They will take Reggie Bush with the first pick of the 2006 draft.  They just resigned David Carr for $8M.

I would pick from Ohio State:\n\nJerry Lucas\nBobby Knight\nJimmy Jackson\nMichael Redd\nand\nPerry Carter

Reggie Bush; he's definitely going to be the #1 pick in the draft, no matter who drafts him.

yes...should've drafted O-lineman or traded down for O-lineman plus another pick because teams would've given almost anything to get Bush.
