2017 Lions Draft Thread

[Old Lion]

Not you, Kiper

Doh!

My bad, senior moment.

Pettigrew can barely walk these days let alone block. Hes been toast for awhille now. Last I heard he was pushing 3 bills.

Time to draft another TE that can block then.


BQ can break his seal.

(His first draft class caught ten passes. (Cole Wick caught two as well.)I'm also looking for more in that area.)

Can't give up three years of early picks for one guy. But I agree that the need is top priority.

Yeah, but they should make an offer to get this kid. He fixes a lot of the Lions problems immediately.

Kareem Hunt and Samaje Perine are really good RB options for the Lions in Rounds 2 through 4.

I'm reading there are 5-6 RBs who could all go in round 1. Its also worth noting that in the 12 years BQ was with the Pats, they never took a RB, WR or TE in round 1 other than one time with their second first round pick (if memory serves).

 

[Thruthefog]

DL or OT in round 1. After that, you kids can go after your toys.

 

[Old Lion]

OK, I made room for a RB and TE and finished it out.

1 OT Ramczyk WIS
2 CB A Jackson USC
4 OLB Riley LSU
4 RB Hunt Toledo
4 WR Rogers USC
5 DT Adams Aub
5 TE Saubert Drake
6 DE Davis Chattanooga
6 G Are FSU

Really like Hunt and Saubert to add to the offense. Adams could be a huge surprise. He is Fairly 2.0 talent wise and in that he is a lazy azz sometimes.

As much as I would be happy with that draft. The chances of Adoree lasting till the mid to late 2nd round is optimistic at best. We need to take him round 1.

No worries Old Timer, bad phrasing on my part

Its like you said earlier, it will depend on the combine. If he puts up good numbers and a 40 in the 4.3s then he will not make it to round 2. If it were most other years he would not make it, but there are many very good CBs in this years draft and he is still projected as round 2. If he is gone then we would have to take one of the others. I would be disappointed but not a huge deal if it goes down that way.

 

[phantomfoul88]

PFF has Ebron @ 49. He's worse than I thought!!! Just terrible.





Not that his sorry a$$ has anything to do with the 2017 draft. When I hear draft he's the first name that comes to mind.

Him and Slay would be sick on the corners. I know he has olympic athlete in the long jump so he should test off the charts. Also bring a dynamic aspect to the special teams. Something the Lions have lacked for a long time.

Also heard Peppers is falling too. Wouldn't be all pissed about us drafting him either.

Many scouts can't get over the size thing it would suck if we passed on a talented playmaker because he's 5'11" 200 lbs

For a second there I thought Hunt Toledo and Davis Chattenooga were real people.

That'd be awesome.

Drafting a RB in the first two rounds wouldn't though.

I am addicted to that show.

It based on how others are drafting players rise and fall based on that kinda like APD on the FF sites

Like this draft almost as much as mine. Could use a TE though. I think Cooter needs a more traditional TE for his offense IMO. He is just making due for now.

I also was not thrilled with the Siragusa pick. a few guards still sat there the next round that I think are just as good. a TE there and then a guard instead of a second CB would not have been bad. although I liked the Kazee pick.

 

[Rollingthndr]

I think the whole OL/RB debate is a chicken or the egg debate.

If Dalvin Cook or Christian McCaffery is available. You take them.
