Well then, let me give you a thumbs up.

I believe Teddy Bridgewater said he would be returning to Louisville next year


I went with C J Mosely, probably the best Defensive player on the board.

Nice pick. I went with the CB. Mosely is right up there. Probably the first year in the last 5, I prefer to go defense. Mayhew would be smart to sign Suh long term and build around him with a championship style defense. I believe in him, way more than I believe in Stafford at this point.

What do you think of that Khalil Mack? Guy is supposed to be the next Von Miller I read somewhere.

Tough to gauge. Randy Moss, Jack Lambert, and Ben Rottenburgers amongst others have come out of the MAC, but when you play a stretch of Stoney Brook, UConn, EMU, WMU, and UMass over 5 weeks how good is the talent you are playing?

 

[themuzzer]

I went with Dix...Though I thought he had off field issues, but the talent is there.

Yeah I wore my Suh jersey to the game yesterday. DB or LB, I wouldn't be upset with either.

 

[Dr. Evil-er]

WR and S are the two most glaring needs.

 

[broncosmitty]

Other. Not ready for this yet.

This is why I believe in watching film. You really look around the league at DB's. Lot of small school kids. Film does not lie. Kids from SEC are not sure fire studs in NFL. Lacy is the first of three RB's to make sudden impact from championship teams. Ingram and Richardson are duds.

At same time I say film. Both of those RB's looked good on film...so...

Yeah, that guy is pretty studly too. Tough spot though. Delmas will make some splash plays here and there but then make stupid penalties and horrible angles and give up huge runs at other times.

Outside of his pick yesterday. Quin has been almost non existent. A lot of people around here don't like Don Carey but I see him make more plays than Quin.

 

[Dutchis59]

If the Lions go CB Dennard from MSU is my other pick

 

[LPinSLC]

Anthony Barr would look good in Honolulu blue as well

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

I'll go with Dixon or Gilbert.. It seems as though a lot of the top defenses in the NFL has an elite cover Free Safety like an Earl Thomas or Eric Reid so he is definitely an Option.. Gibert is the top CB in the draft and is a projected shutdown or closest thing to one.. There aren't that many DEs in the draft after Clowney and it looks more like the Lions would have to convert an OLB like a Barr or Mack to DE so it all depends..

The draft is deep in WRs though and I think they could find excellent value with a guy like an Allen Robinson or even a Davante Adams should he possibly fall.. I'm not going to rule out Darquez Dennard for each two first picks either.. The guy could be a sure top 15 pick if he just has an average to above average combine because his play in CFB has been outstanding.. A goof pro day would help his status as well.. And if both are mediocre, he could be there for the 2nd round..

Edit: Barr would be outstanding at DE or OLB IMO.. The pass rush would be beast! But I don't think he falls outside the top 5 and tbh, he could go ahead of Clowney..

 

[LPinSLC]

Take a look at Trevor Reilly. More of a 3-4 olb but he has great coverage skills as well as an excellent pass rusher. Maybe add some weight and play 4-3 olb? He could be that Lb blitzer this defense has needed for so long. Not sure where he is projected but he is a stud.

If the right tackle fell to them I wouldnt be opposed to it otherwise please draft defense.
