No! His hand? He only has...? No! It's scheme!

Just stop.

To be fair Lions dont really wrap up while tackling anyway, would we notice?

 

[RobBase]

Omg just stfu already and make the pick he has one fucking hand but not really but really we got it.

How many hands? No way


But how fast is he?

 

[RobBase]

Now they are going to run his rap video again. I bet Goodell is on the phone right now offering some team 10 pass interference calls in exchange for drafting him.

 

[RobBase]

12 picks away!

Troy Fumagalli... maybe 7th round though

Lions traded up with the Patriots and selected Alabama DL Da'shawn Hand with the No. 114 overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft.

The Lions gave up a 2019 third-rounder to get this pick from New England. Hand (6’4/297) was a four-year contributor and one-year starter on the Crimson Tide’s deep defensive front, tallying 14.5 career tackles for loss and nine sacks and earning second-team All-SEC from the conference’s coaches as a senior. The No. 1 recruit in the nation out of high school, Hand was seen as an underachiever in Tuscaloosa but has always possessed high-end traits and pass-rush potential, and showed blazing size-adjusted speed at the Combine (4.83). Experienced both on the edge and inside, Hand has a Cameron Heyward-level ceiling if he puts it all together.

He's my favorite TE in this draft. Loved how he dominated vs. Western.

 

[Mebert]

I will change back to draft coverage in an hour or so when they move on to a new subject

Who does everyone want in round 5?

Well I wanted Tim Settle this round but looks like that ship might sail before our next. I am worried about our LB core. If we coud snatch Genard Avery that might save us.

I also am iffy on the last pick. Oblongo Oingobongo or whatever his name is was still out there at DE. We took a project instead. Although if we are going 3-4 base more than 60% of the time then maybe it might work.

I am sure Patricia thinks he can coach the kid up.

Troy Fumagalli

I hate that four fingered fuck.


But he can be a Lion.

 

[broncosmitty]

Conklin from CMU would be good late also.

 

[RobBase]

Seattle took a P to go with their new punt holder.

Not trying to be negative, but I'm not a fan of Hand. He's not that good. Not fast off the edge, not a high motor, and when he does get penetration, it's often against a tight end. There were better DE's on the board.

*Remember, Patricia brought Bama's DL coach here. That dude probably lobbied for him, too. Not sold.

Foley Futikasi - DT - Connecticut

I dont care who we take, I just hope we somehow dont send draft picks to the Pat's this time
