2014 Lions' Board complete draft picks

[Rob]

Exactly my thoughts. Why in the world do you re-sign Pettigrew and sign a fullback, only to draft a TE

Yep

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Bucannon is gone to AZ in the 1st rd... DAMMMMMMNNNNNNN

 

[broncosmitty]

Watch Van Noy go now...

 

[tpaulus_2]

Im eyeing Deone Buchannon now.

So were the Cardinals.

Marginally taller, marginally faster version of Ebron who maybe has better hands. We will see. And ebron has a decent weight advantage, no?

There is no maybe about better hands. Ebron dropped over 11% of his balls in college. Evans had some of the best hands in college for WRs.

And I agree -- he is only marginally taller and you can say marginally faster, but when you add to his catch radius a vertical leap that is 6 inches better than Ebron and arms that are 2 inches longer -- It adds up in the end.

Ebron is built more solid at 245 lbs. Evans is only 231.

Then why not Zack Martin at #10? Much better player with even more versatility?

Zack Martin plays center? I wanted Ryan Shazier at 10 and dislike the Ebron pick.

Bastards! (Sick secondary out there.)

Stop jinxing it fucker.... you are bad luck my friend

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Gandy.. What U think about grabbing Richburg or Martin in 2nd rd at #45 ? There's some reaches going on now, as usual, and I see no way they're there even late 2nd rd for a trade up. The last thing I would want is to lose picks in a trade up for a player that would sit for a year. After those two there isn't much left but maybe UNC Bodine or FSU Stork late 4th. 14 teams need Centers.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

Quit mentioning the players we want the Lions to get. Buchanon is off the board now. I don't want to see Van Noy gone too.

 

[Dr. Evil-er]

NFL caliber starter at any of the five o-line spots.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

yep. maybe Denver ?

 

[Howie115]

Yeah the Rams says hi.. They probably should have won two superbowls.. I understand a defense is more important.. But having an elite offense goes a long way as well..

The Lions offense is still FAR from elite. Not even CLOSE.

 

[broncosmitty]

I've been watching his highlights for the last hour straight. Dudes sweet. Great pick.

 

[gandydancer]

Bastards! (Sick secondary out there.)

NFC West has got some damn good defenses...and getting better. Which is awesome, Lions play the NFC West the 2015 season with this high profile offense.

 

[broncosmitty]

yep. maybe Denver ?

It'd make a lot of sense for them for sure.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

What U think about grabbing Richburg or Martin in 2nd rd at #45 ?

While I would love one of these guys -- I really hope the Lions use their 2nd round pick on their defense. If they draft offense again, I may drive the 3 miles over to the Lions headquarter in Allen Park and punch Millenhew.

Our entire schedule drafted just to stop ColdStafford. They skerred.
