2022 Lions Mock Draft...

[Gulf of Brazil]

I wouldn't like the two 3rd round picks or the FB pick, but I do like the double dip at safety.

2022 Lions 7-round mock draft: Detroit adds 3 defensive starters

The Lions need pass rushers, and it’s possible they’ll have the best one staring at them in the face at the top of the 2022 NFL Draft.

No. 2 DE Kayvon Thibodeaux
No. 32 S Jaquan Brisker
No. 34 LB Chad Muma
No. 66 TE Isaiah Likely
No. 97 WR Wan' Dale Robinson
No. 177 OL Dylan Parham
No. 181 S Bubba Bolden
No. 217 FB Connor Heyward
No. 234 WR Jalen Nailor

Goff is Holmes' guy at least for the next year, if not the next two years, and I don't see him drafting a QB at all this year.

Hopefully later in the draft. Even Skylar Thompson would be a nice pickup if Zappe goes too early.

This would not be a bad haul.

Tiny hands for a QB, but Pickett's hands are in the exact mold as Thompson.

QB Skylar Thompson (Big Board rank: 248)

Height: 6'2″ (27th percentile)
Weight: 217 (36th)
Arm: 31 inches (24th)
Hand: 8.63 inches (1st)

QB Kenny Pickett (Big Board rank: 48)

Height: 6'3″ (63rd percentile)
Weight: 219 (43rd)
Arm: 30.88 inches (19th)
Hand: 8.63 inches (1st)

How can these guys have barely 8.5 inch hands at well over 6 feet. Those are like Carny hands. I am only 5'9" and even my Hands are like 9+ inches.

Sooner RB Brooks can make both of those QB feel a whole hell of lot better

RB Kennedy Brooks (Big Board rank: 218)

Height: 5'11” (52nd percentile)
Weight: 209 (39th)
Arm: 30.25 inches (29th)
Hand: 7.63 inches (0th)
Vertical: 36 inches (62nd)
Shuttle: 4.40 (24th)
Three-cone: 7.00 (61st)
Bench: 14 reps (11th)

Somehow it never became a problem spinning a college size football but a pro football radius is definitely more.

Hell, there's inclement weather in both Pitt and K-State come late fall not to mention extreme windy days

@Mebert you might like this one. At least the first two picks.

2022 NFL Two-Round Mock Draft: QB Desmond Ridder goes to the Atlanta Falcons, WR Chris Olave heads to New Orleans

The Atlanta Falcons select Cincinnati QB Desmond Ridder at No. 8 overall in Anthony Treash's two-round mock draft.

2. DETROIT LIONS: EDGE KAYVON THIBODEAUX, OREGON DUCKS​

32. DETROIT LIONS (VIA LAR): S JALEN PITRE, BAYLOR BEARS​

34. DETROIT LIONS: LB LEO CHENAL, WISCONSIN BADGERS​

One of the most underrated players in this draft class, Chenal is an explosive athlete who attacks downhill with a vengeance. A season ago, the former Wisconsin Badger actually ranked second among the nation's linebackers in pass-rush grade and first at the position in run-defense grade.

Unfortunately, his play in coverage is still a work in progress. He will need a role at the next level that gives him ample opportunity to rush the passer, which the Lions can provide.

Some of us just have really stubby fingers.

Mel Kiper mock draft: Could the Lions take Sauce Gardner at 2?

ESPN’s Mel Kiper projects the Detroit Lions to select Detroit native, corner Sauce Gardner in his latest mock draft.

www.prideofdetroit.com

No. 2 Sauce Gardner, CB, Cincinnati​

“Can I interest you in a 6-foot-3 corner with long arms and 4.41 40-yard dash speed who didn’t allow a single touchdown in coverage in college? That’s Gardner,

No. 32 Lewis Cine, safety, Georgia​

“The more I talk to people in the league, the more I think the Lions will stand pat on a quarterback with their three picks in the top 34,

Kiper has changed his tune and given the Lions a player who many, including myself, believe would be a great fit in Detroit's scheme. Cine is an ideal split-zone safety, capable of dropping to single-high, as well as making an impact from the box where he delivers aggressive, sure tackling.

No. 34 David Ojabo, edge, Michigan​

“Ojabo is my top-ranked outside linebacker, even after he tore his Achilles last month and could miss most of the season,” Kiper wrote. “If the Lions are thinking long-term, they could get a steal with a high-ceiling edge rusher.”

A first-round talent for certain, Ojabo was on his way to a possible top-15 selection before being injured at his pro day. There’s a lot of debate about how long his recovery process will be—my study from last year suggested nothing is guaranteed—but it’d be hard to justify adding a player who is dealing with an Achilles injury, when they already have two other defensive starters currently recovering from the same injury.

Maybe these guys have small hands, but long fingers?


Don’t know how they pull off not fumbling every time they get hit without two hands on the ball.

It’s not the throwing that makes me curious. It’s one handed hard pump fakes and throwing on the move.

well, just in case we forgot, @Old Lion has 33"+ arms at 5'9", so those knuckle dragging hands must've been ground down some by now.

If it helps at all.

I read somewhere that Kenny Pickett had 23 career fumbles. IDK how many were lost fumbles though.

Malik Willis was also in the 20 fumbles range.

 

[Mebert]

I have micro hands. We all know what that means....

That doesn’t seem bad for a guy with tiny hands that played 5 years.


Think we saw Staff fumble six times against the Eagles in one game.


But I can’t pull for us taking Kenny P. I just can’t. Those hands are not big enough, for me.

I honestly don't want to see Holmes draft a QB this year, but I also don't want to see any more of David Blough or Tim Boyle either.

I'm more on the Desmond Ridder vibe currently as a possible backup in training and yet still don't want to see that happen. I believe we're safe there because he probably gets drafted in that area where the Saints or Steelers draft.
