Draft talk time

[Gulf of Brazil]

Who is trading up in your scenario and for whom??

I have no clue at this juncture however, for click-bait purposes only, there's no way I'd turn down a deal like the following as it'd only enhance the rebuild (plus, it'd give this regime more time to get their scouts in-house and hopefully 2021 CFB doesn't have the covid-19 issues or as much and they'd get a better handle/perspective on the 2022 draft. If this kind of trade happens then the Lions are sitting on 3 - 1st round draft picks for 2022). Highly unlikely though but we're talking about Dan Snyder.

^^^^^

Martin Mayhew is the New GM at WFT so, who knows what would happen.

Rashod Bateman, WR Minny - U, was the selection for the Lions in that trade down scenario. He has clear potential to become a WR1.

D'Andre Swift Will Greatly Benefit From Lions' Offseason Changes | The Draft Network

 

[broncosmitty]

From what I have found, the claim is: Parsons dumped water on another player, the player responded by pouring Gatorade on Parsons, it escalated to a fight, other kid was losing and pulled a knife on Parsons. He then filed a suit against Penn State. Seems strange to pull a knife, and then sue......

Outside of that he had to transfer schools in High School for a brawl in a cafeteria, and people got super butt hurt he tweeted mean things about Haskins.

I don't care about the tweet, but twice now he has been the center of a fight that has led to issues for him. I don't think it is nothing, but I also think it was overblown.

I’m pro guys who can beat ass. This doesn’t seem like a bad thing.

Suh still plays mean and dirty and hasn’t missed a game since Stomp got his name.

 

[broncosmitty]

If Fields is there I think most Lions fans would want him drafted. I don’t think he will be though.

Please Lord, no no no, no.

 

[RobBase]

Please Lord, no no no, no.

It’s a moot point. If he drops to 7 there’s something wrong with him and nobody is trading up for him anyways.

It’s why I hate the trade down fantasy scenarios.

I am not sure Fields at 7 is a sign that he is dropping, or that something is wrong with him.

Lawrence is going 1
2. comes down to what new people want. Most likely a qb. Fields or Wilson
3. Dolphins are not spending another top pick on a qb.
4. Falcons are an unknown, Fields could go here
5. Has Burrow
6. Even if Eagles trade Wentz, it may be because they like Hurts.

3 teams that are maybe spots for 2 qbs. Not crazy to slip to 7. A team that really wanted one of the qbs might jump ahead of 7 though.

I don’t care who drafts him, so long as it isn’t us.

Is it him or the Ohio State thing?

some on here don't mind the fantasy scenarios.

 

[broncosmitty]

Is it him or the Ohio State thing?

Him.

And I don’t want a top ten pick standing on the sidelines. Goff is the QB. Draft a fourth rounder to work with, or whatever.

 

[Old Lion]

nailed it.

wrong years though. then again, maybe not.

Almost but probably better this way in the long run.

 

[Old Lion]

Because right now I want Micah Parsons. I want that tough nosed leader in the middle of the D. Watching Devin White play makes me envious.

White was the guy I wanted in that years draft. Unfortunately we had the brain dead Davis already and Lions decided to pass on him.

 

[Old Lion]

Him.

And I don’t want a top ten pick standing on the sidelines. Goff is the QB. Draft a fourth rounder to work with, or whatever.

I would grab Trask in the 3rd if he falls for some reason. Maybe even trade up.

IMO, That'd be another waste of a pick. His processor is slow and mobility isn't much better than Jones.

2021 NFL Draft: Tiering the loaded WR class that might surpass 2020's rookies | NFL Draft | PFF

ELIJAH MOORE, OLE MISS​

Not many receivers had a better season than Ole Miss’ Elijah Moore. If it were not for DeVonta Smith’s ridiculous Heisman campaign, Moore would have had the top receiving year in the SEC. He ranked behind only Smith among all wide receivers in receiving grade (92.4), catches (86) and yards (1,193) since Week 4.

Moore played primarily in the slot during his Ole Miss career, and that is most likely where he'll land in the NFL. Out of the slot in 2020, Moore produced a ridiculous 97.7 receiving grade (tied first in the nation) and was one of just three players with at least 20 receptions of 15-plus yards from the slot since the SEC kicked off.

another WR I like but not until day 3 should he last that long

DYAMI BROWN, NORTH CAROLINA​

There were only 29 instances of a 1,000-yard season since 2019 among Power Five players. And North Carolina’s Dyami Brown was one of the few to eclipse that threshold in both years. Brown benefited largely from his Power Five-leading 18.4-yard average depth of target and his quarterback Sam Howell’s willingness to look his way when throwing deep.

Brown averaged over 20 yards per reception in back-to-back seasons and is tied with Alabama's DeVonta Smith for second in touchdown receptions on throws 20-plus-yards downfield (13).

HONORABLE MENTIONS​

TERRACE MARSHALL JR., LSU​

With Justin Jefferson leaving for the 2020 NFL Draft and Ja’Marr Chase opting out of the 2020 season, Marshall was finally setting up to be the primary guy on the outside for the LSU Tigers. He was on pace to put up numbers similar to that of Chase and Jefferson after just four games. He led the country in touchdown receptions (9) and trailed only Alabama's DeVonta Smith in receiving grade from Weeks 4-8 (89.4).

JAELON DARDEN, NORTH TEXAS​

Darden is another slot prototype that NFL offenses crave nowadays. The speedster from North Texas was one of the most electric players when targeted in the slot this season, hauling in 16 touchdowns from that alignment — the most in college football. The closest player to him in that category was Heisman winner DeVonta Smith with 12, and no one else had more than nine.

Darden’s speed puts him in position to take the top off defenses at will. His 4.31 yards per route run ranked second to only Smith’s 4.39 mark, but he ranked first among all pass catchers in 20-plus-yard touchdowns from the slot (8).
