My guess, D'onte Foreman

Mmm interesting if your right, he was on my radar for a bit. However after watching film decided I wasn't that enthused, for a big guy he doesn't punish defenders all that much. I got a soft spot for RBs that dish out punishment, which is why I liked Howard last year.

Think he will make it that far.

Lions have a million holes to fill as long as we draft a guy that has a good shot at starting i'll be happy. As far as Mixon making it that far i'd say there's a good chance lots of talent at the running back position this year. The Eagles, Colts, Vikings, and Chiefs are the teams i think are most likely to be looking at him in the earlier rounds.

Some of those teams might also be looking at the big two RBs.

watkins didnt run a 40, alot of guys do that, many qb's dont throw
This is where I contradict myself a bit. QB's who don't throw doesn't really bother me, but for good reason I feel. They're in t-shirts and shorts, facing no rush, no pocket, no nothing around them. If they do well, no big deal, they were supposed to, throwing well at the combine never means much to any team. If they don't, they're screwed.
But I do want to see everyone doing everything else, or it just reeks of something to hide

2017 NFL Combine: John Ross breaks Chris Johnson's 40 record with official 4.22 time

Chris Johnson’s 4.24-second 40-yard dash combine record has fallen, thanks to a blistering time from Washington receiver John Ross. Ross, who said at the podium he’d been timed with a 4.3 flat, delivered an unofficial 4.22 time during Saturday’s drills in Indy.

Do you guys think it would be crazy to draft John Ross third overall!

I saw that post coming. My advice would be to trade down a couple of picks, pretty sure he'd be available at 1.5
