2017 Lions Draft Thread

[broncosmitty]

Didn't that Jake Butt guy blow his knee out or something?

Is that why he went in the4th round of Meebs Mock Draft!

I slept thru the Orange Bowl pretty much. But I thought I saw him play..... Idk.

Rueben Foster or bust. If we are in position to draft him of course.

Can he play def tackle?

 

[Old Lion]

We need a LB in the worst way. Hopefully they can address this in FA. Zach Brown, Donta Hightower, or draft Zach Cunningham. Kiper also mentioned Tim Williams from Alabama. 6'4 250. I wouldn't be upset if we signed a solid FA and drafted one of these guys.

He mentioned Williams as a DE though, not to play LB. Kiper has been losing his touch for a while now.

Williams is kind of a hybrid. At his size he seems like a OLB in a 3-4, but a DE in a 4-3. He does not have much value as a Lb in a 4-3 I think, it takes away his most valuable skill.

I wouldn't mind getting a replacement for Eblow.

Pettigrew is also available.

Oline and Dline then then the rest of the fluff after that.

Everyone should show solidarity with the falcons for this weekend.

Nah, we don't need anyone that could make a block.

If BQ sticks with his idea to create competition at every position, we can expect him to bring in a TE or two this off season. Can't see him keeping Ebron around on a new contract without a colossal improvement in 2017. Chances are he is let go when his contract is up.

Pettigrew is a FA/out of football for a reason.

The four remaining teams have guys already that can block?

Of course after I read another article from Kiper he said Williams has been suspended a couple times for off the field issues, pot issues and probably would scare teams away. Give it up old man.

This years #1 and #3, 2018 #1 and #4, 2019 #2 (or something)

With the 4th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft the Detroit Lions select:

Leonard Fournette, future hall of famer

The need is so glaring and desperate... 4th down and 2 and these chumps ran an odd ball screen pass to somebody named Mulligan. Seattle scored a TD after the turnover on downs.

Give what up? He was not my pick.

I'll be rooting for Atlanta but am betting my money on Rodgers.

We already got stud blockers. Guess you've never heard of Laken Tomlinson.

 

[Old Lion]

We already got stud dud blockers. Guess you've never heard of Laken Tomlinson.

you spelled dud wrong.

Not you, Kiper

Pettigrew can barely walk these days let alone block. Hes been toast for awhille now. Last I heard he was pushing 3 bills.

Can't give up three years of early picks for one guy. But I agree that the need is top priority.
