So fucking stoked about Spence.
So fucking pissed about Aguayo.
If we had grabbed Von Bell there instead it would have been a great draft, instead I have to watch play for the fucking Saints for the next decade.
This kid better never miss a kick.

Hopefully Bill proves us wrong, but I feel the same way. There was much better talent at every single position that they picked (other than a solid pick with jones).
There was no need to take a quarterback in the third round. Should have been 6th round at the earliest (Brissett might have been available in the 6th!!). I watched a few games of Brissett from last year and there isn't much of anything that I like. Slow delivery. Takes forever to make a decision. Bad throws down field.
I'm completely lost on this pick.

Hey, it's not his fault the Bucs are ridiculous enough to spend a premium pick on a kicker.
There was some good talent we could've gotten (Braxton, Kenneth Dixon) but Seumalo was a good pick. He's versatile and can back up Kelce while competing for a spot at LG. Like you said, I want 5th round to be a RB and a LB or DT

I'm not even impressed with his 'highlights' he barely squeaks it through the uprights far too often, hardly ever splits them evenly.
Being 100% inside 40yds is way overplayed. Do you ever expect to miss from there in the NFL? He had a 52 yarder and didn't even have enough leg to REACH the goalpost!
He's been getting worse since his freshman year, I don't see anything that says 'once in a lifetime kicker'. drafting him, especially in the second fucking round is an awful move.

wtf apparently Vannett is a Mariners fan too?
How is this happening, no one is dumb enough to bandwagon my M's!!
One can only hope. 5 years and a couple more rings sitting behind Big Ben and he'll be ready to assume the reigns!

Dude there is literally no team that can trade for Sam now. It was 9ers or Broncos. Jets don't have the cap space.
Ken Griffey Jr. Baseball too influential.

Cruz was already established and OBJ is a special talent. You improve the fundamentals and let him do his thing. I can't really say how much affect Ryan had on either to be honest. Coughlin spoke highly of him but he's the same guy that had Reuben Randle fucking up routes in year 3 but can you put that entirely on him? Randle just never gave enough of a shit. Our WR's had dropsies issues as well.
Not sure how much I helped there.
Thanks for the reply. Right now he is either giggling like a school girl or scared shitless that he better not fuck this up

But will Cook still be available???

I mean, I think your offensive coordinator is going to have a bigger role in establishing Miller's development. Ryan is going to execute the plan he's given based on how he's used in the offense at the end of the day.
He has to play a pretty large role in their general development as receivers though. Footwork, route running, reading formations, etc...

Wow this Mackenzie Alexander is the real fucking deal isn't he?
I'm loving everything I'm reading...
I'm seeing some places had him ranked as high as 9th overall. How did he drop? His height? No ints (but he only got thrown to like 50 times all year?!)
Wow. I'm psyched.

I really dont understand Billings dropping like he is. Guy was almost consistantly mocked a first rounder

Gonna skip day 3. I hate pretending that any of those guys will amount to a huge amount long term when like 90% of them will be out of the league in 3 years or less.
I love love love the Lions draft so far.
Before the draft I said, and believe with my heart of hearts this is one of the most talented teams in the league and when firing on all cylinders can handidly beat any team in the NFL.
Before free agency and the draft I just wanted us to address depth in a couple of areas, mainly the trenches. Losing Megatron sucked but Bob Quinn immediately made moves signing Marvin Jones and Jeremy Kerley.
I believed before the draft we needed two Day 1 impact players in the draft to be Super Bowl contenders.
Taylor Decker and Graham Glasgow were great picks and exactly what we needed to fix our offensive line at our two weakest points in the season last year, Center and Tackle.
A'Shawn Robinson is the guy I'm most hyped about. Not only do I think he's a Day 1 starter I think people are downplaying his pass rushing ability. I'm still shocked he fell to us at #46 but he did the job he was supposed to in Nick Sabans defense. His job was to plug up the run game and let linebackers make plays.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/ashawn-robinson?id=2555265
I can't find the article right now but A'Shawn Robinson essentially said his sack numbers were low because he did the job Nick Saban asked him to do at Alabama and that was to stuff the interior line.
Even then His strength will be as a run-defender, but as a true freshman he led Alabama with 5 ½ sacks.
A'Shawn Robinson is going to cause chaos in backfields in between Pro Bowlers, Ezekial Ansah and Haloti Ngata.
Quote me on this, he will be in play for Defensive Rookie of the Year. I don't think he'll actually get it but I think he's going to be starting and taking the majority of snaps by Week 3-4.
Tyrunn Walker impressed during the brief time he played last year but A'Shawn Robinson will be taking the majority of DT snaps along with Haloti Ngata, with Walker and other players rotating in.
Look at this roster on paper:
All being coached and plays being called by defensive wizard Teryl Austin.
The Lions defense will have a lot easier job along with pass rushing opportunities when our offense is dropping 30 points a game.

Wish I had your level of honerism so I could come to terms with Aguayo.
Believe it or not there are STILL some good players left. Seriously
http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000656617/article/2016-nfl-draft-best-remaining-prospects
Some positions in this draft are stupidly deep
Honestly, it's not fanboyism. If the Lions suck, we suck. We don't.
There have been a variety of factors as to why the Lions haven't lived up to the preseason hype that even the sports media has given us from 2011-2015.
Just look at our roster and look at how young, talented it is along with the number of Pro Bowlers and potential Pro Bowlers.
I'm about to go Gaming Side and start listing exclusives, console war style.
This team is no joke and the biggest and most important thing is we have the continuity of our coaching staff coming back one more year. I would not be this hyped if Bob Quinn had fired Coach Caldwell or DC Teryl Austin was not back for one more season before he inevitably becomes a Head Coach.
We have 7 picks tomorrow to only further solidify the roster and add more depth.
It all starts and ends with #9 though.

Not like most day 1 guys pan out either. That's why my overall give a shit about college and draft time is so low. Last group of guys I got hyped for coming out of college was Leinart, Vince Young, Reggie Bush and Michael Huff.

I count 6 running backs that would be an improvement over the Pats incumbent lead back.
Hopefully Bill gets his head out of his ass and takes one.

Wentz couldn't be stopped.

Players are getting smarter. They know what the good organizations are, they do what they can to avoid the cheaters because they have good ethics.
There is no excuse, IMO.
The Lions as a franchise have had to overcome many hurdles mentally. We're the "Lolions", the loveable losers.
Some hurdles like making the playoffs in 2011 for the first time since 1999 or last year beating the Packers at home for the first time since 1991.
Now it's "Megatron retired, the Lions are fucked, Barry Sanders all over again."
My only fear going into this season is the same fear that all fans of teams with franchise QBs have - that their franchise QB gets hurt. That's the game and Football Gods for forbid Stafford gets hurt but I believe this defense is good enough to get us to a 9-7 record and a Wild Card seed.
:jnc
I actually like the Wentz pick moreso than the Goff pick. Wentz came from a small school but a QB his size moving around the pocket with how he moves and plants his feet reminds me of Big Ben or Cam.

So we got Jeylon Smith and an interior pass rusher?
I just got home. I will be very interested in who has the better career: Myles Jack, Jalen Ramsey or Jeylon Smith.
