LIVE UP TO THE MINUTE DRAFT THREAD

Gonzalez looks like a Belichick DB.

Porter makes a lot of sense for Detroit. So does TE.

 

[SteelerFan448]

very surprising. Forbes is definitely the best coverage CB but he's so small.

It's the same concerns with young. There is a reason almost every player in the NFL is big.

 

[madinsomniac]

Man i don’t want Porter to fall to 32 because I totally want us to trade down and we would have to take him there…

 

[ZonaBurgh]

This whole process is insane, 2 hours in and only about half done, and I'm on Pacific time.

 

[Steeltime]

Jones is extremely athletic. Very long arms, excellent balance. Agree with del that a guy that athletic, with the performances he had against the best college defenders in the nation (including practice), is as bust-proof as you can get.

Forbes reminds me of that second round pick we had, gholston or whatever… great in coverage but couldn’t stay healthy because he was too small

He has that nasty attitude you want with the athletic ability to back it up… at worse he is going to be average but if he pans out he will be a star LT…

 

[Black & Gold Bleeder]

Starting him with Jones and sending Okorafor to the bench or cutting/trading him.

i thought we put moore at LT because he couldnt play RT.

 

[Steeltime]

Gonzalez looks pissed off

I read he was not a big film buff.

 

[deljzc]

Honestly, how would Gibbs the RB not have been here for the Lions? Why did they pick him early?

 

[SteelerFan448]

Jack Campbell, wow!

 

[Steeltime]

Campbell goes at 18. So much for my 20 mocks where I got him in the 3rd round.

 

[SteelerFan448]

The Lions took two of the worst value positions in the first round.

 

[madinsomniac]

Detroit is just stupid

 

[Steeltime]

Exactly. I don't think Gibbs is better than Deandre Swift. The selection was just dumb.

 

[BLITZ]

well there goes that dream. Cambell gone

 

[ZonaBurgh]

I liked Campbell at 49, but at 18?

 

[deljzc]

Lions Big Board is there own thing right now. For a team with 5 picks in the top-50, my lord. What is next for them?

 

[keslerclan]

Jones will get a shot at RT, IMO. He can develop for a year and add strength. He will not look good going up against TJ or Highsmith as he has trouble with "inside" and "counter" moves. We have some pretty good OLBs which should help him along. We need a 3rd OT because if even one gets hurt...LeRaven is was our swing, until now.

 

[tapeANaspirin2it]

Exactly. I don't think Gibbs is better than Deandre Swift. The selection was just dumb.

But swift is injured a lot. And may have killed a guy. Maybe the Eagles will have interest.

Take a punter

 

[BLITZ]

100% agreed but he is a day 1 starter

 

[Paul G]

Detroit over or under thinks shyt........ could have traded back twice and still got those picks ........... wow ........just wow

 

[madinsomniac]

See, both of Detroit’s pick’s could be good and they still fail… its not about just getting a guy, it’s about getting the best player you can that helps your team win… so at ilb there are what, five premium to really good prospects , but the positional value isn’t high… same with RB… the guy you get in the third is probably going to give you nearly the same production… so why miss out on a high end CB to get a rb? They could have traded down and gotten the same guy or a prospect that was about the same and added other players later
