Anthony Cannon (7, LB)

Blogged under The Draft Report by ravenhater on Monday 17 July 2006 at 6:11 pm

Cannon is the typical seventh round pick…..made specifically for special teams prowess.  He is a little bit on the small side (6′0″, 224 pounds) but he’s fast and likes to fly around the field.

Fred Matua (7, OG)

Blogged under The Draft Report by ravenhater on Monday 17 July 2006 at 6:05 pm

The consensus was that Matua would have really helped his draft status by staying in school for his senior season.  Matua started in 34 of the 39 games he played in at USC, and he kind of got lost in the shuffle as he was over-shadowed by the skill players.  But, Matt Millen struck again getting a player late in the draft that could eventually be a very good guard in  the NFL.  Matua is a nasty run blocker that plays with an attitude…and no doubt he will use getting drafted in round #7 to motivate himself.

Dee McCann (6, CB)

Dee McCann is a decent football player, but one that lacks speed and size.  McCann is one of those players that outplays his measureables because of his heart.  He will help the Lions immediatley on special teams and may work his way into the nickel packages on defense.

Jonathan Scott (5, OT)

Blogged under The Draft Report by ravenhater on Monday 17 July 2006 at 5:51 pm

Jonathan Scott has alot going for him athletically and experience wise (45 starts at Texas).  He stands 6-6 and weighs 307 pounds and runs a 5.2 40.  Scott has all the qualities teams look for in a draft pick….but the light hasn’t turned on for him.  Scott takes plays off and doesn’t finish all his blocks.

Scott has the talent to eventually be an NFL starter, but he will need the Lions’ coaches to kick him in the butt and motivate him.

Brian Calhoun (3, RB)

Blogged under The Draft Report, Front Page by ravenhater on Monday 17 July 2006 at 5:45 pm

I can remember watching the Wisconsin Badgers last season and just being in awe of running back Brian Calhoun’s running ability.  He reminded me of Barry Sanders, in the fact that he could make one cut and be gone.  Calhoun rushed for 1,636 yards last season and scored 22 TD rushing.  Throw in the fact that he caught 53 passes for 571 yards and two TDs and you have to be sweating if your name is Kevin Jones.

Calhoun, at worst, will be a good third-down back.  I wouldn’t be surprised if he gives K.Jones a run for his starting job in Training Camp.  Another good pick by Matt Millen (it’s about time he had a good draft).
