2022 Lions prospects

[Gulf of Brazil]

LB NAKOBE DEAN, GEORGIA​

Dean may be on the small side for the position, at 6-foot and 225 pounds, but he’s a tone-setter, nonetheless. He earned a 91.3 pass-rushing grade and 90.5 coverage grade this season.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

He's my 2nd favorite draft eligible edge rusher, but he's a big boom or bust prospect after only having played football since his Junior year in H.S. I wouldn't take a shot at him until that early 2nd round pick and may still question that choice then.

EDGE DAVID OJABO, MICHIGAN​

Ojabo has been playing football for only five years, which makes his rocket-ship ascent even more intriguing when projecting to the NFL. After only playing 26 snaps in his Michigan career before this season, Ojabo has an 88.2 pass-rushing grade on 508 snaps this year.

 

[Mebert]

There is no CFB LB that has played as well as he has this year and it's not even questionable.

Georgia's Dean displays more field speed, but he also has tendencies to be out of position often enough that concerns me.

We should draft both of them!

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

This is an insanely great catch by Burks.

WR TREYLON BURKS, ARKANSAS​

Burks has the YAC ability to easily fit into the Dolphins' offense, as he broke 15 tackles on 65 receptions this season. He also brings a vertical threat on the outside that DeVante Parker hasn’t quite provided.

We should draft both of them!

If there was a meaningful way to do that, I'd be down for it. Technically there is a way, but we know that isn't going to come to fruition.

WR DRAKE LONDON, USC​

London was a shoo-in for the Biletnikoff Award before breaking his ankle in Week 9 against Arizona. He piled up 1,084 yards on 88 catches with 22 broken tackles and 19 contested catches in only eight games.

S JAQUAN BRISKER, PENN STATE​

The Ravens love versatile and athletic secondary defenders — and that’s Brisker. He’s been consistent as can be, too, with overall grades of 82.0, 82.8 and 82.4 in his three seasons at Penn State.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Love this kid's play on the field. He's my No.1 CB for the entire class. I would sincerely think about him at that 2nd round pick, but at the same time, I'm willing to forgo drafting a CB this next draft and ride with what we have.

CB ROGER MCCREARY, AUBURN​

McCreary has the press-man pedigree the Patriots will love. He’s also earned the highest coverage grade in college football this season at 89.7.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Aidan Hutchinson is one of 4 Heisman finalists as the others are Kenny Pickett, CJ Stroud and Bryce Young.
This nomination, in my opinion, speaks to the accomplishments he's achieved this season. I would've expected MSU RB Kenneth Walker to be one of the four finalists.

 

[Gulf of Brazil]

Kayvon Thibodeaux has removed himself from playing in Oregon's Bowl game.

We are going to need the Rams to keep losing at this point if we are going to get him.

I'm a little bit interested in Brennan Armstrong as a possible late round QB prospect (6th or 7th). A little bit. Southpaw has some mobility, but not what I'd consider as a strong arm.

I am all in on Bryce Young next year. Let's pay Goff 30 million to toss check downs all the way to another #1 pick!

I believe you are correct on this highly probable scenario as much as I'm pretty confident that Bama WR Jameson Williams will be long gone by the time our 2nd first round pick comes around.

He has the quickest processor of any CFB QB in the country at this time, but damn, he is so small. He's listed at 6' and 195-200 pounds. Nothing fazes this kid and while he takes an inordinate number of sacks - his O-Line is garbage against the pass rush - I think a lot of it has to do with his height plus his unwillingness to commit a turnover via interception. He's mobile enough to move up, in and around the pocket, but he doesn't truly have a strong arm. I'd rate his processor just below Mac Jones (1st) and then Joe Burrow (2nd). He has room to grow physically and mentally.
