Lions 2020 Draft Watch

[Gulf of Brazil]

CD Lamb, nice work.

Ohhhhh myyyyyyyyyy

saw the replay this morning

that skimpy black dress did her justice and then some.

McKinney from Bama wouldnt be a disappointment IMO. He reminded me a ton of HaHa Dicks at Alabama.

McKinney is a better overall S imo. He's probably better suited for in the box than a single high and his tackling skills far outweigh HaHa's (the latter can be an ankle swatter). His diagnosing skills are better but he can have problems with hip flexion on turn and run - catchup speed isn't a tool in box but he's more football high IQ than Dix.

wouldn't be disappointed with him

or Antoine Winfield who'd be a perfect fit at single high - pretty much anywhere you put. size limitations and a long list of previous injuries might be a problem but his diagnosing skills and putting himself in correct position are elite as much as his ball skills. jmo

I’m still lol’ing at the packers.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Praying we don’t take anyone I’ve never heard of tonight even though Tavai turned out to be a decent pick.

c'mon now

who hasn't heard of

Ibrahim Moizoos,

Leoz Maxwell Jilliumz

Javaris Jamar Javarison-Lamar

Hingle McCringleberry

Davoin Shower-Handel

Xmus Jaxon Flaxon-Waxon

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Disappointed we didn’t receive any offers to trade down but happy w Okudah as he could be the best player in the draft a few years from now.

agree.

Maybe that alleged Jax call was to see if they could move up for Okudah. It's quite possible they may have liked Okudah over CJ Henderson and BQ bagged up and stayed at #3.

Also, the only legitimate way we could/should have been guaranteed a trade down is if NYG needed a qb. 1 year late on our part.

 

[Old Lion]

Lots to choose from. Hopefully it is a DL or LB.

35 - Josh Jones, Dobbins, or Mims

Yeah I was thinking Josh Jones, Gross-matos or Mims.

Secondary options are Dobbins, McKinney or Epeneza.

 

[Rollingthndr]

6. Tee Higgins
7. D apostrophe Andre Swift

Love any of those first 5 but getting bust vibes with these two. Wouldn't be surprised if either of them are available round 3.

In the NFL you have to make people miss or break tackles and Swift does neither very well.
Higgins looks like "just another guy" type.

Even a small trade back isn't the worst idea with how much is left.

I really believe in AJ Dillon I hope we take him round 4

 

[RobBase]

We have 3 picks tonight?

 

[Old Lion]

Yes, hopefully one of them smells of cushenberrys.

I like a guy named Eno Benjamin.
If he could cut down on fumbles. Might be a later round gem.

 

[Mebert]

Yes, hopefully one of them smells of cushenberrys.

But he was a key part in highlighting Burrows ability to escape a collapsed pocket?

They only used 5 man blocking schemes so he was 1 on 1 with NTs all the time. Good experience for sure although I would put him at G. He will be much better starting there.

 

[Old Lion]

Yeah I was thinking Josh Jones, Gross-matos or Mims.

Secondary options are Dobbins, McKinney or Epeneza.

My Friday wishes are:

Baun
Cushenberry or Muti, (but rd 3 might be a reach with his injury history)
Pittman

He's one of the very best receiving backs in this entire class of RB. unquestioned - well - except you

Swift is the modern do-it-all running back. His ability to torch linebackers one-on-one as a route-runner is more than any other skill at the position. Over the course of his Georgia career, he hauled in 73 passes for 666 yards and five scores while breaking 19 tackles and dropping three targets.

I'm all in on DE/DL Epenesa @#35. and I'm not moving off that pick. Plus grad a Jack @#67 or #85

and if he's there and pass on him then I'll question there ability as to having a plan.

I don't care about his alleged bad 40 as it was .11 more than Flowers but their 3-cone and short shuttle were .03 apart with Flowers having the slight edge.

Both Cincy and Indy could have a need for Epenesa

Cincy...…. Dunlap 31 signed through 2021 but could save 11M as a 2021 cut, nearly identical size as Epenesa . Sam Hubbard is their other starting DE. Cincy needs a RT (Josh Jones ?) currently have Bobby Hart. ugh

Indy...… Houston 31 and on last year of contract. Al-Quadin Muhammad, 25, is their other starting DE with Banogu and Turay as rotational

didn't know you indulged in the flowery smokables.

or were you with Key and Peele this morning ?

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Love RB's who fumble.

might as well draft J. Taylor

he only had 18 in his career at Wisky Pete's
