2014 Lions' Board complete draft picks

[themuzzer]

The same shit was said about Pettigrew, Blah blah, now we have two.

 

[VulturesRule]

well, thats what I get for typing instead of watching the draft! Radio is still playing commercials!

 

[Old Lion]

I called it. If they stay at ten, it would be Ebron.

Me too. I started a thread a ways back and got a lot flack

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

LMAO -- Eric Ebron. A flipping TE. Not only a TE, but a TE who drops more balls than Pettigrew.

Seriously -- we now have spent a top 10 pick and a top 20 pick in the last 6 years on a TE. We haven't drafted a CB in the first round since 1998.

 

[LPinSLC]

Could be great?...

 

[gandydancer]

Makes so much more sense than trading up for a wide out. Saw this coming with Lombardi. Not pissed.

I am not pissed. Just wanted defense. So it seems a lot 2 WR 2 TE sets in future.

Noone ever said Pettigrew was a Gates / Graham type player. Not even close.

 

[Howie115]

That pick was PUKE!!!!

FIRE MAYHEW !

CBS Sports grade = C-minus. I think they were over-generous.

I remember and might have blasted you or someone. Might work out who knows...

I think it was either Dennard or him.. It's not as bad as taking a WR.. But they should have never resigned Pettigrew if they had this guy so high on their board.. I don't think there was anyway Ebron was going to be picked any higher than this..

Pettigrew blocks. Ebron won't. He'll play the same role as Jimmy Graham, seem routes. BP and Fauria aren't capable of that.

Nah this guy is way more athletic than Pettigrew.. This pick looks like shit because they resigned butterfingers.. I personally thought they should have picked Dennard.. Or maybe even Ha ha..

And there's nothing wrong with that. Also got another big target for the red zone, an area we sucked ass in last year.

Pettigrew stays in as a blocker

 

[Lions=TeHsUcKs]

Actually he can block..

 

[Dr. Evil-er]

There is what Mayhew has done constantly during his tenure. You get a guy showing potential like Fuaria, he resigns Pettigrew and then drafts a TE with a top 10 pick?? Why?? Why?? why??

How does that make any sense?? Two TE sets right? We have two already. He just pushed Fauria to the bench and Williams off the team.

The guy is simply clueless

I believe you gave me some shit a month ago or so. Im not crazy pumped, but Im not pissed at all. Hope he gets #86.

Lots of single coverage for Tate and short passes to let him run.

 

[lionstop1]

Man, you guys are something else. Thats a solid pick right there. He will be a problem for teams.

 

[gandydancer]

You had 4 guys there... stop swarming me.

 

[TrustMeIamRight]

we have our Jimmy Graham.

Jimmy Graham? Ebron is 6'4". He is the 3rd tallest TE on the Lions roster and we have two WR's taller than him. Jimmy Graham is 6'7" and ran faster than Ebron at the combine. Oh yeah -- Graham was drafted in the 3rd round.

And we wonder why the Lions continue to take one step forward and two steps back.
