Zappe is gone @Old Lion to your true Home team, the Patriots

Ahead of Howell and Strong too

Ahead of Howell and Strong too

Zappe has similar processor as Mac Jones

Not many changes to a playbook for another QB brought on board.

 

[Thruthefog]

Close.
I can see 2 of those 3, but if that DT from Missouri State is available, I'd put him in that mix as well.
Also, I could see Holmes drafting LSU LB Damone Clark, so long as he can pass the DeAndre Levy medical exam
WTF do I know? Not much.

Aaaaand he's gone.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Aaaaand he's gone.

I mentioned Johnson because Pride of Detroit stated he was being heavily looked at by Holmes and company. I didn't even know the guy existed prior to that.

Oh well, not a big deal.

I'm sticking to my thought that Holmes drafts injured Damone Clark.

Odd thing about Johnson is here's a big guy who's nearly 300 pounds and only benched 225 eleven times

 

[Mebert]

I would not mind Carson Strong, he might be the best qb in yhis, just with the most medical concerns. 5/6 to see if they can work on the knee issues is worth a flyer I think.

 

[Mebert]

Salyer could be good

 

[Mebert]

While talking about injury risks Ross is around and outplayed Tee Higgins before he was hurt

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Not interested ^^^^ and not everything is all speed and agility metrics
Buttttttttttttt

Ross has the height advantage but is extremely slow in and out of breaks and getting off L.O.S.

 

[RobBase]

2 of the next 5 picks who they gonna be?

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

I could possibly see Holmes going after a WR like, but not necessarily the exact player, Bo Melton. - Rutgers guy that was underused

IDK

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

No worries about the pick being Damone Clark

 

[RobBase]

HA!

 

[RobBase]

There’s the TE.

 

[Thruthefog]

Lions will take a TE, a CB, and another WR today.

Ding!

   Detroit Lions: James Mitchell, TE, Virginia Tech - A- Grade
   The Lions are concerned about not being able to retain T.J. Hockenson past the 2022 season, so this pick makes sense from that regard. It's also a solid value choice, as James Mitchell could've gone in the fourth round with no complaints.

I don't know a damn thing about this TE, but watching his clip they put up, I find him to be intriguing. And then I read he has an ACL injury. We have a couple of those on the roster already. I get it that he's light in the weight department but watch his blocking skills.

Final 7-round mock: Lions load up on defense early in the draft

The Lions take a local product at a position of need early, and proceed to load up on defense with four of their first five picks.

6th round (181): James Mitchell, TE, Virginia Tech​

If not for a torn ACL shortening his season, Mitchell would probably be in consideration for a late Day 2/early Day 3 pick. If he can stay healthy, he has the potential to earn some starting snaps and use his speed/route-running ability to create some mismatches.

Pre-Draft Analysis​

Mitchell is an effective route runner with good quickness off the line and out of breaks. He shows good body control and hand-eye coordination adjusting to throws outside of his frame. He runs well and tracks the deep ball well. He's a willing and aggressive blocker, but he has a leaner frame and lacks snap in his hands. Mitchell missed most of the 2021 season because of a knee injury. -- Steve Muench
