Which player will the Lions regret passing on most?

[RobBase]

Feel free to include any other guys in the later rounds.

I chose Other. And let's face it, the only one he could ever regret not drafting is Suh. It all begins and ends with Suh. If BQ had drafted Suh, then he would have been in charge years earlier, Suh wouldn't have gotten out via FA, the Lions would be winners year in and year out, heck, the SportsHoopla banner would even still be relevant.

Or so some would have us believe.

I went with Watt. If Davis can stay healthy then they are fine. I would have said Foster had it not been for his shoulder. If he can recover fro that, Foster is a beast. But all and all, if you need a healthy LB Watt would have been the safest choice.

 

[Old Lion]

DT Elijah Qualls. Could of had him in the 6th round. Bowling Ball of of a player and much better then that Bedwetter guy we drafted later.

The rest of our draft was decent although Maybin and Golladay were earlier then necessary.

Also passing on a bunch of other DBs and taking Tabor could bite them too.

Roderick Johnson

Roderick Johnson

They say he's good in the run game...

Johnson will need to learn the fundamentals of pass blocking from the ground up. His upper body plays out of sync with his lower body. He leans into his pass blocks which allows defenders to use his body weight against him. He fails to set his feet properly which opens him up to power moves like bull rushes. His footwork fundamentals are bad causing him to get off-balance when he is not leaning.He has not developed as a pass blocker because he has not had to. With his long arms, he has been able to latch on to defenders and lean on them. But the NFL is a whole new world where grab and lean is not effective.

At this point Johnson is a major project. The raw physical talent is there, especially in the run game, but the production has not always matched up with that talent.

Browns sign fifth-round pick Roderick Johnson

I'm on board with the Suh stuff.


Not a player in this draft that brings what he does. In fact, I'd support trading next years draft, for Suh. Winning the SB and retiring the franchise. Fuck it.

 

[RobBase]

I'd be fine w that.

Don't retire it. If you don't want it any longer, move it to San An Tone. I'd finally have a reason to visit that fucked up place.
