Detroit Lions: Alexa, play “Last Resort” by Papa Roach

Exactly. Some left in the tank but doesn’t rule out anything going forward. Takes pressure off the young receivers a bit

 

I would rather have Chark, but Marvin is fine.

 

He’s washed. Rather have Hopkins

 

FUCK

 

I’m easily swayed and the highly suggestable type but a lot of the recent chatter about Wilson has me more comfortable with him. Feel good about getting one of Stroud Young AR Anderson Wilson or Carter. Won’t be thrilled but can live with Gonzalez or Witherspoon. Also happy with a trade down for 24 picks

 

omg i never imagined this

 

I’ve got a buddy that’s a gators fan and he’s been bitching about their facilities for a while now. Didn’t really believe it until I saw this.

 

Not surprised a guy who has no accuracy but getting hyped for other things highlights from pro day include hitting ceiling of practice field and doing a flip. Doesn't change this

 

you’re going to be sucking his dick when him and Dan Campbell are holding the Lombardi trophy in 2 years.

 

I could see this being our draft in a month

 

where’s the Michigan kicker?

 

I’d love that

 

I’m glad that were trading up

 

Picks from McShay's most recent mock:

6. Detroit Lions (from LAR)
Tyree Wilson, DE, Texas Tech

This pick has to be defense. Detroit was miserable in that department last season, and it was the reason it came up short in the playoff hunt. The Lions were bottom-three in yards allowed per rush (5.2), yards allowed per pass attempt (7.9), opponent QBR (56.0) and third-down defense (45.1%). Adding Wilson to a young edge-rushing contingent that already includes Aidan Hutchinson and James Houston could create real conflict for opponent pass-protectors, though. He had seven sacks in 2022 for a second straight year, and his arm length and pure power jump out on tape.

I also considered the secondary with a handful of top-tier cornerbacks on the board, but the Lions have been aggressive there by signing Cameron Sutton, Emmanuel Moseley and C.J. Gardner-Johnson in free agency. Detroit is back on the clock at No. 18 and has a pair of second-rounders.

18. Detroit Lions
Bijan Robinson, RB, Texas

Fans will question just about any landing spot for Robinson because of his position, but consider how heavily the Lions lean on the run and what Robinson can do for an offense. We're talking about a top-five talent in this class who can break free with burst through the hole, make defenders miss with his strength and haul in passes with his reliable hands. Jamaal Williams is gone to New Orleans, and D'Andre Swift has struggled to stay healthy and is entering the final year of his contract. Yes, Detroit signed David Montgomery, but he has rushed for 100-plus yards just three times over the past two seasons. Robinson only had three games under 100 rushing yards last year.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, this would be the highest a running back has been drafted since the Giants took Saquon Barkley at No. 2 in 2018. But Robinson is special. Other options for Detroit include tight end or continuing down the defensive rebuild path, but with four picks in the first two rounds, it can afford to make this luxury selection and fill some other holes down the road.

48. Detroit Lions
Jack Campbell, ILB, Iowa

Campbell posted more than 120 tackles in each of the past two seasons, and he'd compete for snaps with Alex Anzalone and Malcolm Rodriguez in the middle of this defense undergoing a big overhaul.

55. Detroit Lions (from MIN)
Sam LaPorta, TE, Iowa

Yup, another tight end. LaPorta makes it six in the first two rounds, which would tie the common draft era record set in 1974. But this class is that good. LaPorta was consistent at Iowa, catching 153 passes over four seasons for 1,786 yards and five scores. He has speed down the seam and tempos his routes effectively. LaPorta could step in for T.J. Hockenson, who was traded to Minnesota at the deadline last season.

Specifically I would like Robinson at 18. That would be a home run pick imo.

 

Jack Campbell’s jock is still on the field at Kinnick after trying to tackle Corum. Don’t love his athleticism in the NFL

 

Our staff is familiar with Hooker too

 

Could make things more interesting

 

I too have QBs ranked among my top 31 players.

 

Guru

 

what can I say, it's a gift. That's probably why I win my fantasy football games almost half the time.

 

At the end of the day, I just don't see how this team can act like it wants to win a Super Bowl and then not take Carter if he's on the board because he's immature. Richardson is the only person we could possibly take at 6 with anywhere close to his upside.

 

Plus it's a position of need on the roster and has plenty of positional value for a pick that high.

If there are really enough QB-hungry teams trading up, Seattle would seem to be the only team threatening to take him.

It's a boom-or-bust pick, but I'd think they would take a swing like that (unless his interview was a clusterfuck)

 

Our staff has a pretty clear opinion on him you can tell from Campbell interview. Not sure which way though, could equally see us moving up to get him or passing him completely. They've shown a tendency if they have a guy going up to make sure to get them. Wouldn't surprise me if we went from 6 to 5 even

 

I think we take hooker with one of our 2nd unless he's gone by then

 

Seems cowardly. Might as well use that pick to trade up from 6 if we want a QB.

 

Can get an elite defender at 6 and address back up qb in 2nd with a guy who is talented enough to maybe be a starter. I mean leaving top two rds with for example Carter, Banks, a LB and Hooker is probably more appealing to me than leaving with Richardson, Kancey, and a lb or cb in rd 2. Not to mention it probably costs more than just one of our 2nd rd picks to move up

 

We are probably holding off until after draft.

 

happy bday Vinegar Strokes

 

Odd tweet since I don't think those picks would be the one we used on Hooker
