The Official 2014 Lions Draft Thread

[LPinSLC]

With all of these QB's dropping I wouldnt mind snagging one to have a good young backup

 

[tpaulus_2]

4th rounders I like:

WR: Keenan Allen, Markus Wheaton, Da'Rick Rogers, Quinton Patten, Ryan Swope, Kenny Stills, Marquess Wilson, Denard Robinson
TE: Jordan Reed, Nick Kasa, Dion Sims
OT: Terron Armstead, David Bakhtiari, Brennan Williams, Jordan Mills, Luke Marquardt
OG/C: Barret Jones, Dallas Thomas, Davis Quessenberry, Alvin Berry
DE: Damontre Moore, Alex Okafor, Corey Lemonier, William Gholston
DT: Johnathan Jenkins, Jesse Williams, Brandon Williams, Montori Hughes
LB: Kahseem Greene, A.J. Klein
CB: B.W. Webb, Jordan Poyer, Will Davis, Terry Hawthorne, Logan Ryan
S: Phillip Thomas, Shamarko Thomas, Earl Wolff, Duke Williams, Bacarri Rambo, J.J. Wilcox, Josh Evans


Let's see who lasts here. Lots of my 3rd rounders look like they'll make it to our next pick...

 

[Mebert]

With our 4th being at the end instead of the beginning of the 4th I think most of these guys will be gone.

 

[tpaulus_2]

There's at least 40 picks there... I'm willing to bet our next two picks are on there...

 

[Rob]

Im watching interviews of Ziggy Ansah and my man is intense. If Schwartz asked him to rip out Aaron Rodgers larynx I think he'd take it as a direct order. Ansah is all business. This guy is going to be a monster.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Damn, there goes one of the best remaining guys for me. Great pick for them. RT or pulling guard or even center...

 

[tpaulus_2]

I'm just liking that we got three plug-in starters in the first three rounds.

We've plugged 3 of our 5 major holes. If we go LB and WR in the next two rounds then they clearly gave up the BPA approach, or it's just one helluva coincidence...

 

[gvsulaker82]

Our oline looks awful even with the addition of warford. Three unproven players *warford, reiff and fox. Nagy? The only guy I'm sold on is sims. This is not saying that warford and reiff wont turn out great, but such an inexperienced offensive line is scary. Lions desperately need linebacking and offensive line help still.

 

[Mebert]

I am curious to see how far Barret Jones falls, other then that I would not mind Marquis Goodwin

 

[jalopy]

I'm just liking that we got three plug-in starters in the first three rounds.

Slay won't start, at least not initially. Should see him in nickel coverage some.
Warford needs to get in better shape but at least he could get in the way of a few DLinemen on their way to Stafford.

 

[tpaulus_2]

Loving our new-look offensive line. Reiff and Fox are much more athletic than Backus and Cherilus were. Nagy is a lot bigger and stronger than Ravioli, and Warford should prove a huge upgrade over Peterman.

None of them are over 30, either, so they should get a shot to grow together as a unit...

 

[Chief602]

Incase you missed it, Sanchez set a Tiger record with 17 K's!!!!!!!!

 

[black_magic]

been saying it for months, Fox is a monstorous man, standing at 6'8''. Rieff was drafted to be the LT, and we dont really have anything to prove that hes not good enough to be the LT

 

[tpaulus_2]

I'm just liking that we got three plug-in starters in the first three rounds.

Slay won't start, at least not initially. Should see him in nickel coverage some.
Warford needs to get in better shape but at least he could get in the way of a few DLinemen on their way to Stafford.

Who's gonna start over Slay? Bentely? Bartell? Maybe, but my money is on Slay.

I haven't heard anything negative on Warford's conditioning, not sure where you're coming up with that one...

 

[Mebert]

I think the line will be solid this year and be great within 3 years.

 

[black_magic]

wow. Damontre moore to the giants.

I didn't and JL pulled him from a possible complete game shut out after 8.....kinda fucks my fantasy baseball but still a great game for the cannibal.....

 

[Rob]

Is this talent+need draft the work of Colonel Xanders? I like it.

not sure you can be upset with Leyland for taking him out. sanchez has thrown 121 pitches and the game is 10-0.
