Series Thread: 2023 Lions official draft thread

This draft is awesome its got all of you pissed off and the comments are hilarious. I'm rolling just reading it. Live with who they take cause you ain't got a say in it and just maybe they might know what they are doing

When the dust settles next season and Lions are playing in the NFC Championship most of the clowns on this board will be talking about how awesome this draft was.

I’m hoping to see one second contract out of this group.

Between Campbell or Branch.

 

[Old Lion]

Got a 5th rounder coming up, and then one more pick.
-Noah Sewell still here right now. Would be a hell of a ST guy who still has starter potential.
-Andre Carter from Army is another guy i love. While everyone else was in specialized football environments and going to school for physical education or something stupid, Carter was a full on soldier. Army guys don't get that special treatment just because they play football. Give him a redshirt year as a pro to transform his body into a football player and you might really have something special. Regardless I'm not sure you find a better locker room guy.
-Caleb Murphy from Ferris State. Could be the next James Houton.

Picked a guy noone ever heard of from a school noone ever heard of. Apparently he is a guard who does not fit our blocking scheme. On the bright side he is small and slow and weak with tiny hands and short arms.

Everything you want in an O-lineman.

Campbell is a 12 year starter for us, but will always be good never elite. I loved that pick. Branch will probably end up being the best player in this draft.

I’ve been trying to come up with runnings back we’ve drafted and resigned in my lifetime other than Barry and Corey Schlesinger.

Same with linebackers not named Spielman or Levy.

But I can’t.

Assuming Branch was the best selection also.

 

[Mebert]

That is a good pick

 

[Old Lion]

That is a good pick

Green will be more useful then Cephus was anyway.

 

[broncosmitty]

Happy to see we’ve signed Mo Ibrahim.

He bounced back well from injury. Not a burner, but can bring the pain on would be tacklers for a guy his size.

 

[Mebert]

Love the Brandon Joseph signing

 

[Mebert]

Also Starling Thomas.

 

[Zwalt]

There better be at least one kicker being signed.

 

[Old Lion]

Here is the tracker. Couple of nice LB pickups that have a shot of making the team. Granted that bar is pretty low
