2022 Lions prospects

I already posted his comments regarding this draft and I'm going to double down as I'm in agreement with his take on this year's draft.

Dane Brugler on NFL Draft: ‘This is just not a great year to have a top-5 pick’

Just the Lions’ luck.

www.prideofdetroit.com

Dane Brugler of The Athletic is thought of as one of the more well respected minds when it comes to the NFL Draft. When he talks, you listen.

Unfortunately for the Lions, he is not all that impressed with the top-tier talent in this year’s draft.

“It’s a good draft class as a whole, it is just lacking in high-end talent at the top,” Brugler wrote.

That’s not exactly a unique opinion of Brugler, but he takes that opinion to an extreme, suggesting that none of this year’s elite players may have been drafted in the top-10 last year.

“There isn’t a [Chase] Young or Myles Garrett or Ja’Marr Chase — the obvious elite prospect who will be an immediate impact player in the NFL. Hutchinson, Thibodeaux, Evan Neal, etc., are talented players, but there is a good chance none of them would have been drafted in the top 10 last year,” Brugler wrote.

The following Mock Draft using The Draft Network simulator is about as far-fetched achieving as Mebert's drafting of both ILB Lloyd and Dean, but one can wish.

I passed on drafting WR David Bell at No.34 because there was No Way in Hell, I'm passing on CB "Sauce Gardner" with both Okudah and Jacobs more than likely on the shelf to begin the next season ready to go.

Obviously both Lloyd and Dean were already gone as well as WR's Olave, Wilson, Burks, Williams and London. I could've drafted Bama's Christian Harris for the ILB at No.66 but I went with the clearly better coverage LB from my perspective in TO'O TO'O.

If Holmes drafted a QB at any slot prior to those late round picks, I'd hate it.

Mostly same for me.


But there are a couple Id be okay with seeing if they somehow slide.

Back when we did luck into high end talent with early picks, they came with high end contracts.


We can’t even time our horrible years right.

I have problems trading back for more draft picks... FOR this year and next year!!!

Depends on how "their board looks" - not what the fan thinks about who should be drafted.

I will state that I sure as hell don't want to see that 1st pick of ours traded.

Last year the Eagles allegedly wanted McNeil with their 3rd round pick and traded down 2-3 spots and lost out to us. Sometimes ego, cockiness, greed or plain stupidity can come at a cost. It's quite possible the Eagles didn't think we'd draft iDL in back-to-back rounds.

I am OK trading down 1 or 2 spots. Pretty sure Jags are drafting that giant LT. We could still get 1 of our top 3 even with pick 4.

Dean is working hard to show Lloyd is the better player to draft

As much as I would love that draft ... I read somewhere that Gardner is a sure fire 1st rounder and possibly a top 10 prospect.

Jags really need to draft OL cause theirs is so pathetic.
But what really is the chance of being able to trade down with no elite QB's at the top of this draft?
If there was a QB worthy of trading up for. We would be stupid to not just take them for ourselves anyways.

Somebody might be in love with one the 3 defensive players.
