2017 Lions Draft Thread

[Thruthefog]

For depth or something?

Upgrade for Wagner midseason.

An NFL scout told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel that USC CB Adoree' Jackson is "a first-round player for me but he’s got to be penalized because he’s a midget."

Naturally, the scout sees him as a second-rounder. "He’s a really good player but he’s small," said the scout. The dynamic 5-foot-10, 186-pounder posted a 40-yard dash of 4.42 seconds at the NFL Combine. "Only negative is his height," another scout said. "He’s always in the right spot at the right time. He knows how to keep position and break on the ball. Reminds me of Darrell Green, who was just 5-8. He’s so instinctive. Excellent one-on-one cover."

Or that running back... Walter Payton who was also 5' 10", granted 30lbs heavier.

There are so many prospects I would be happy the Lions draft in the 1st this year...

Adoree, Peppers, Cook, McCafferey, TJ Watt, Foster, Reddick, Lattimore, Humphrey or Budda Baker. There is bound to be one or two of those guys there for the choosing.

Cant really go wrong in round 1. Not keen on a RB though.

 

[Old Lion]

My post combine draft. I will adjust for FA moves. I have already removed OT from draft.

1 OLB Reddick Temple
2 CB A Jackson USC
3 DT Adams Aub
4 ILB Beckwith LSU
4 RB Hunt Toledo
5 TE Saubert Drake
5 DE Davis Chattanooga
6 WR Rogers USC
6 G Are FSU

Needed to update to make more realistic:

1 OLB Reddick Temple
2 DT Adams Aub (Hill wont make the team and Adams is moving up a round)
3 CB Witherspoon Col or CB Myrick MN (Adoree will not be there late in the 2nd anymore)
4 RB Hunt Toledo
4 WR Golladay NIL
5 TE Saubert Drake
5 DE Davis Chattanooga
6 DT Coward ODU (need to replace Ngata)
6 G Are FSU

I know... But Fournette, Cook and McCafferey are all special talents. I would prefer defense #1. Like Adoree or Peppers. Also, watching some highlights of Rueben Foster and TJ Watt last night. I would take either of those dudes in a heartbeat as well.

There are 3 teams (Jax, Car, and TB) who are all pretty set on taking a RB in the first round so I doubt any of them will be there anyway. McCaffrey would be interesting though as it would save us a roster position similar to Adoree with the return ability. I think Washington is the guy right now but he can be easily replaced.

I just don't really want Taco Charlton...

Trade up for Leonard Fournette! Super Bowl or bust like the Julio Jones trade!

Not going to happen. Not Quinn's style.

Plus, we dont even have any lineman that can run block.

No shit, eh?

Not a fan of Washington. He simply isn't fast enough for the NFL. Reminds me a lot of Matt Asiata. Having that guy returning kicks is a nightmare.

Been seeing him mocked to us quite a bit. I would rather roll with TJ Watt and set him opposite of Ziggy than Taco.

I think I remember reading somewhere that TJ Watt is comparable to Clay Matthews which would be bad ass having one of those dudes.

 

[RobBase]

I'd be happy with TJ Watt. He prob going to a 3-4 team tho.

 

[RobBase]

Might be the guy at 21. He stood out watching the combine.

Obi Melifonwu continues to draw interest of Detroit Lions

 

[Thruthefog]

Nope. Roderick Johnson.

I understand he's low on the boards of people who are paid to talk about it, but he'll go 1st round.

Sure, but we have our tackles. Where would he play?
