Lions Nation: Grading our players

[Gulf of Brazil]

I'd rather have Sherff over Collins.

Have two of those big ole corn fed Iowa boys on the left side of the line. Beastly.

That is what they said about Reiff until he went to the combine and had "short arms"

this is one of the better analysis I've read on any single player to date that also is supported by many others.

Yeah I like the guy. The short arms crap might let him fall right into our laps. Reiff Style. Actually picking in the exact same spot. #23.

Nobody on these boards or anywhere for that matter thought Reiff was a possibility the year he was drafted.

that would make for 1 helluva left side of the O-Line.... Reiff-LT, Scherff-LG.... I wouldn't be upset 1 damn bit with Scherff and you never know what will happen come draft day

I pretty much wrote Scherff off as being long gone before #23, so I haven't even mentioned him. I still think LSU Collins or FSU C/OG Erving would be great also, if the 1st two dropped

I'm not sure if I would take Erving at #23. Maybe trade back 5 or 6 spots and take him later in the first if all possible. The problem is most teams picking behind us don't trade up cause they aren't stupid.

thunder, would you rather possibly miss out on Erving by taking that chance for a 5-6 pick drop back, when more than likely you're looking at a starting caliber player who could battle Swanson for either the LG or C position. sometimes this "he's a reach" just grinds me... IF a trade could be worked out to drop back and the GM is pretty damn sure that those 5-6 other teams aren't in need of a C/OG, then yeah, but it's still a risky move when considering losing a starting caliber of player and at a position of need. JMO, so don't mind me

SF traded from #31 2 yrs. ago to #18 Dal (for sf 1st/3rd) and took the kid from LSU S Eric Reid. I'm pretty sure NO went from #27 to #20 with AZ last yr to draft WR Cooks from Ore St... it doesn't happen all that often upper 20's to high teens or early 20's but it still happens...

I'd take Erving at #23 all day long. He's an instant starter for us at C or LG. Helluva talent.

I'd like to lower my points by 2 for every player on defense now that Suh is gone. Lower Stafford by 1.5 since he'll be throwing 40 times a game again.
