OK in the 5th

Swope
Stills
Rogers
Denard

 

[tpaulus_2]

He's also got 36" arms and a 35" vertical, so he's got a good physcial skill-set for the position. Great length and size. Very athletic.

Needs to get much stronger, he could add 10 lbs on that frame easily.

Interesting pick. Looks like we'll have 5 DEs on the roster this year. Definitely a make-or-break year for Willie Young now. With Taylor and Lewis in the fold Young is no longer the developmental guy on the roster. He's gotta make an impact this year if he wants to keep his roster spot...

Kalimba Edwards, part 2. Same school, even.

 

[Old Lion]

Would have rather have Cornelius Washington

Or Gholston.

Didn't really want another DE. I guess they don't think much of Willie Young or Ronnel Lewis

 

[lionstop1]

Forget all the list guys, the Lions never take the guys we like.

 

[black_magic]

We now have 2 physically freaky DE's who's hopes ride on potential

 

[lionstop1]

They need a wr imo.

 

[Old Lion]

Just noticed John Simon went right before that. Damn.

This is the Denard round......Time for someone to get a very talented player.

 

[tpaulus_2]

5th rounders I like:

WR: Da'Rick Rogers, Ryan Swope, Kenny Stills, Marquess Wilson, Denard Robinson, Cobi Hamilton
TE: Nick Kasa, Joseph Fauria, Jake Stoneburner, Michael Williams
OT: Jordan Mills, Luke Marquardt
OG/C: David Quessenberry, Alvin Berry
DE: Brandon Jenkins
DT: Jesse Williams, Montori Hughes
LB: A.J. Klein
CB: Jordan Poyer, Terry Hawthorne
S: Earl Wolff, Bacarri Rambo, Josh Evans, Cody Davis

Not a huge fan of the 4th round pick. Taylor's numbers actually decreased each year while he was in college, which is very strange. He went from 7.5 sacks to 6 sacks to 3.5 sacks his final year and he went from 13 tackles for loss to 8.5 TFL to 8 TFL.

Seems to have a freakish type of skill set, but doesn't translate onto the field.

2013 NFL Draft results: Lions pick Devin Taylor - Pride Of Detroit

 

[black_magic]

How is Jesse Williams still on the board. Should we take him and be set at DT?

 

[tpaulus_2]

My round 5 top 5:

1.) Ryan Swope
2.) Jordan Poyer
3.) Terry Hawthorne
4.) Kenny Stills
5.) Da'Rick Rogers/Denard Robinson

.

Maybe he could play OLB? He is fast enough and no too big.

 

[Old Lion]

Robinson now gone. I like Swope here

 

[black_magic]

denard to the Jaguars

Sweet.

He'd be a steal this late in the draft, that's for sure...

Denard going home to Florida.....Denard meet Tebow, The two Florida boys meet up to have fun in the sun.
