2017 Lions Draft Thread

Looking like Taco or Obi in round 1 if they are there.

 

[Rollingthndr]

That is Mayhew type talk right there.

Taco is the consensus. Still prefer Reddick. We need a coverage LB and and LB that can blitz n the worst way. Hassan is both of those.

I don't dislike him, but he's a bit if a project. Is undersized and played DE at Temple (not crazy about his competition either). Teams like him because of his smooth drops in coverage, but there's a lot of unknowns there. 10 sacks as a DE last year, would be perfect in a 3-4 if he was bigger. Not crazy about trying to make a college DE our MLB.

BQ should have just told the reporter yes, and that they aren't even scouting first round offensive players. Then when the reporter replies "REALLY!?", BQ could say " No, dumb ass."

Definitely a concern and thats why I think we will most likely pass on him. Hope I am wrong though.

Any chance he gets pushed into the 2nd?

 

[DetroitFan*]

I've seen some mocks have the Lions taking John Ross or Jabrill Peppers... There better be absolutely zero defensive players left that are first round material before the Lions take John Ross with their pick.

Maybe to the top of round 2 but probably not back to 21st in the 2nd.

 

[Stomp]

 

[Rollingthndr]

Maybe that means he doesn't like any of the 1st round guys?

I'd be super pissed if he took John Ross. He isn't O'dell Beckham and not sure if any other fans on this board noticed, Stafford isn't the most accurate of deep ball throwers.

McCafferey or Cook would be way more impactful.

Due diligence. He doesn't ask anything of anyone, that he won't do himself. He works his ass off, and expects it of everyone in his hire.

Everybody keeps trying to compare him to BB. Well if any of those comparisons are true. (Trading down)He's leaving the illusion open for somebody wanting to to move up for a offensive player.

 

[gandydancer]

Speaking of trading back. I keep seeing NYG taking a LT. At the same time I keep seeing Texans and Seahawks also mocking a LT. They're picking at 23, 25 and 26. I can see the latter two wanting their guy ahead of NY. So I can see BQ talking on the phones possibly. Only 3 possible LT guys out there. All being spotted at our area of the draft.

Ironically the Dolphins are at 22. Steal our thunder yet again.

I hope he isn't even on their board. Fast, yes. But too small and way to many injuries and surgeries in college to draft.

The universe put both the Lions and Dolphins on parallel paths when Mayhew fumbled Suh to Miami.

 

[gandydancer]

Been hoping Derek Barnett would pull a Tunsil and slip down some. Not big on Taco. I'd be okay with it if I knew we could land Raekwon McMillan or Jarrad Davis in the second.

 

[gandydancer]

The universe put both the Lions and Dolphins on parallel paths when Mayhew fumbled Suh to Miami.

I've tried telling you, they've been parallel for about 15 years now.

With as much faith as you've shown in BQ. Suh's departure will not set the franchise back as far as you first reported.

Remember the Titans. Ross will.
