Can't wait to see Brady playing for the Browns.
Surprising he would have Ealy ranked that low, considering he had Ealy mocked to the Cowboys at 16. He is good friends with Will McClay though, so maybe he has some inside information.
Edit: Have read about Ealy moving inside on some situations, would be interesting to experiment with him at the 3. In any case, it looks like if Barr and Donald are gone the Cowboys are trading back.
Awesome show. I think being on NBC has been a benefit since they are in desperate need of good shows. Ratings are pretty poor, but the producers have hinted that they would be able to continue the show on another outlet (Netflix?, cable) if cancelled

Is that why you think she's fat?

I can't wait to read "From Tom to Ted: The Inside Story of New England's Mega Dynasty by Michael Holley" in 25 years.
God damnit. I really hope Mayhew works some magic. If the Bills have there eye on Watkins then Mike Evans is probably a backup plan.
Latest Kiper/McShay mock had both of them having Mike Evans at #7 to the Bucs. If we don't trade up to grab Watkins, Evans will be gone most likely to either Tampa or Buffalo.
Those three 4th round picks we have are going to add a lot of depth on top of our 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks but getting a DB at #10 really doesn't sound like a good plan to me. We need an impact player, preferably on offense.
Get it done Mayhew. I don't care if it costs us this years 1st and 2nd+ a 1st next year we can add depth with our 3rd and three 4th round picks.
To Mayhews credit he did get a steal in Titus Young who was a hell of a receiver in the 2nd round but as we all know he unfortunately lost his mind. I want to see Young eventually return to the NFL cause he was an extremely talented player.
Zach Martin is going to be 24 in November.
Those things have never really bothered me for most positions. I've warmed up to Martin if certain players weren't around at 12 for NYG, but I just think they can get an interior player in the 2nd or 3rd rds instead. I would rather get an impact player like Donald or Evans - if available. I have similar thoughts on Ebron as Future. Not really worried about his willingness to block, but his concentration with his drops. McAdoo would work well with him in, I'd guess, moving him around on the field and in motion. Create mismatches. Definitely need more talent at receiver because it's scarce after Cruz. Need Randle and JJ to step up.
I don't think we are trading up for Evans and I wouldn't do it either. I hope there is a run on all these QBs and OTs so we can get either Evans or Watkins.
If this Lions front office follow the Kas blueprint with the current young talent we have, we'll be a Super Bowl contender.
The Kas Blueprint goes like this:
1.) Get one more stud WR receiver opposite of Megatron and Golden Tate as a #3 option
2.) Drop 40 points a game, Greatest Show on Turf 2.0 etc. etc.
3.) ???
4.) Super Bowl
Fuck drafting a DB with our #10 who will most likely need a few years to develop. We need an offensive impact player and we need him 8 days from now. Mind you if I didn't have this much faith in Stafford the blueprint would be much different. But I know we have a stud franchise QB so get him all the help he can get while he's young.
He's not fat goddamnit. His body is well built with a strong and large jaw which casts a shadow which makes him seem heavier than he is.

40 points a game in the regular season... then lose to defense in the playoffs. I think I've seen this story dozens of time watching football for the last two decades.
Rookie WRs rarely make an impact.
Since when? Rookie WRs make an impact immediately more than just about any other position.
Marques Colston to the Saints as a 7th round pick made an immediate impact. Titus Young made an immediate impact, as did Megatron and even Roy Williams. Julio Jones made an immediate impact. Randy Moss made an immediate impact. Alshon Jeffrey made an immediate impact so did Brandon Marshall out of college. Demarius Thomas made an immediate impact. Dez Bryant made an immediate impact
Out of all the positions in the NFL rookie WRs are one of the few positions IMO that make an immediate impact on day one if they have talent.
Of course a lot of it depends on the QB they have but even Justin Blackmon put up decent stats with Blaine Gabbert as his QB and a drinking problem on top of that.

haley joel osmont is looking good
It depends on what you consider an impact, of course. Jeffery had 24 receptions his rookie year. Austin, Patterson and Hopkins went in the first round last year. Do you feel like they made massive impacts? Certainly nothing better than you could've gotten from a street free agent.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage

No. Just...no. Remember this: Watkins wouldn't even be the #1 receiver on the team. Trading 2 1sts and a 2nd for a #2 receiver? That trade would be a colossal waste and set the team back ANOTHER 2 years. It wouldn't surprise me to see them dangle Suh in a trade to try and move up, though.
Sit pat at 10 and take BPA. Gilbert and/or Barr will likely be available and could fit in quite well. Barr especially intrigues me as a DE. Raw and incredibly skilled--just like Ansah, who had a good year.

Almost exactly 1 week till draft, it's been a long painful journey.
Somehow the Pats will wind up with the first, second, third and seventh pick this year.
Backwards ass year it has been
...and they´ll have cameras in all the war rooms.

You really come off as the least knowledgeable football fan on these boards. WR is probably the single hardest position for a rookie to do well. I believe only one rookie WR has ever had more then 1300 yards his first year, only a handful have had 10+ TDs their first year. You generally wont see production for a WR until his 2nd year, and then you have to factor in the insanely high bust rate for 1st round WRs. If the Lions really mortgaged their future to trade up for a WR it would be a huge mistake.

Great way to refute all those players I listed. So if a rookie WR doesn't have 1,300 yards and 10 TDs in his rookie season he's not producing? I'm on my phone right now but I can find a ton of other rookie receivers who contributed right away. Last year for instance-
Keenan Allen, 3rd round pick, San Diego Chargers
71 Receptions, 1,046 Yards, 14.6 YPC, 8 TDs
The Chargers wouldn't have made the playoffs if it were not for Allen.
Again, rookie WRs are more likely to contribute on day one than DBs, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and linebackers.

Nah, the transition from college to NFL is harder for receivers than it is for the other positions you listed.
Shoutout to defensive tackles and corners who don't exactly have it easy

Yes Allen was good but he is most definitely the exception. Here are all the WR drafted in the 1st 3 rounds last year, how many had an impact on their teams?
Tavon Austin
Cordarralle Patterson
Deandre Hopkins
Kennan Allen
Terrance Willaims
Robert Woods
Justin Hunter
Markus Wheaton
Stedman Bailey
Aaron Dobson
Marquise Goodwin
Austin, Patterson, and Hopkins were all in the 1st round and none of them did anything last year. Drafting WRs in the 1st round in a slow game, they almost never pay off the 1st year.
be right there

True confession: I don't like wings. Not a huge fan of chicken on the bone. I'm like the anti-cajun when it comes to eating some things.
Boneless wings? Yes please.
