What I do know is our draft last year pretty much resulted in the same kind of responses from us and it worked out pretty good. I get it. I want to be wrong and I hope that i am. But just watch this guys highlights (I know that’s not a good way to view a prospect) and you will see this guy rarely if ever makes a tackle by himself. Missing tackles is part of his highlight tape. That should tell you something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for Josh Allen but once the Jags took him I honestly was pretty sure the Lions were gonna take Hockenson. I would have liked for them to take Oliver or Bush. Heck, maybe even Montez Sweat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might have to buy it for the first time in years to do the same. I got to allow this to shake out. I just read that BQ said this dude was on their radar since Oct. Fingers crossed I guess.

LION KING Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Terrible pick you had Greedy Williams sitting there the 1st or 2nd best cover corner in the draft runs 4.3 in the 40 is 6"2 are U kidding me you pass on him for a no name LB. I disgusted bye this pick I am fine with the TE but not to address CB I wanted the Lions to trade down back into 15-25 range and snag Greedy with a extra first in 2020 it didn't happen and for some reason he drops to us in the 2nd round are you fricking kidding me. Cleveland browns draft him that team will be to a Super bowl before us period they finally found the right GM and Coach ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detroitroar Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 Well, after watching him some, he can really get off blocks with those long arms. He's an effective blitzer. Play speed is good enough. Seems to struggle some in zone coverage....then again his teammates didnt help much. He is absolutely a high motor guy who is focused and gives his all on every play. Heres hoping for the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would disagree with this. Do I like our draft to this point, not at all... But, they are making moves for players with zero hesitation. This leads me to believe that they are executing on a specific plan. We have to let this play out. If this LB is a probowl player, all this will not matter. Clearly we can say that about anyone, but it is the truth. Again, I am not happy, but I prefer to be optimistic I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think we are wasting premium picks on inferior talent and that’s one thing, but doing so on player/positions that are slated to be back ups is another. I could understand if they were premier talent that slipped but I feel they did the opposite; they reached. I really hope I’m wrong but I feel I’ve seen this movie before and it doesn’t end well for us... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nazgul Posted April 27, 2019 Share Posted April 27, 2019 You're all debbie downers. Let's give these players a chance before we run them out of Detroit like we do every single year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
