The Official Hold On To Your Asses, It's Draft Day, Thread

[Thruthefog]

We find out what we have at the top.

I had a good feeling about things until I read the prediction from some bleacher report guy saying we would take C Ryan Kelly. Not that I put any stock into some bleacher report wannabe. But it reminded me of how quickly things can go horribly Ewrong.

My recommendation: Bake early and often. Have zero expectations. Don't take the poison pill until you are sure all is lost.

So long as we don't draft Derrick Henry or Kelvin Taylor, I'm good.

I want one of the DTs. Don't really care which, like them all. DE is fine too. If we take a C at 16, he better be All Pro by year 2, or bust.

 

[Old Lion]

OK, So here is my draft:

16 DE Lawson, Clem
46 CB Fuller, VT
95 DT Hargrave, SC st
111 OT Beavers, WMI
151 OLB Kwiatkowski, WV
169 QB Prescott, MS st
191 OLB Campbell, MN
202 OT Haeg, ND st.
210 WR Moore, Cin or WR Core, MS
236 OC Blythe, IA

Feel free to comment

Reposting mine from other thread to make it official. Cant see us drafting 3 defense in a row but this is what I would do. I really like my last 3 sleepers, especially the center.

My guess is that the 1st pick will be one of

in order
Jarran Reed
Sheldon Rankins
Vernon Butler..............not at #16
Andrew Billings............not at #16

I can see it happening with the following conditions of player position/value. Center and RT player who they have on their board is already gone in 2nd/3rd round.

Do not be surprised to see DL in 1st, LB/S in 2nd and DB with 3rd comp pick.

Lions have 5th most picks of anyone in this draft with 10. Can't see them trading back unless it's for future picks next year. If anything, I think they trade up at some point.

It could very well go like that. It will depend on players targeted on their board and how the run of those player positions is going at that time. I could see that 4th round, #111, being packaged with one or more of the 5th/6th round picks to get one of their targeted players late in that 3rd before our comp pick.

This is Blue on this Lions Christmas Day after a trade down.

There is a chance Myles Jack falls to us as well. I would be OK with that if Lawson is gone by then.

Enlarged > regular.

Bigger is better. Draft his ass!
