Maybe I need to watch him some more. He just doesn't feel right to me. I smell bust. I do think he is higher risk, and I think your nose could be right, but man, the athleticism is something this team really needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Remember: we still have 2 3rd round picks, 2 4th round picks and 2 5th round picks. We wouldn't be done, and could grab one of quite a few players in the 3rd and 4th rounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we entered this mock leaving with Okudah and "__" (21, 16, 65, 38), without giving up extra draft picks, what would you think about that draft? It's definitely one way to look at it. But let's say you do Okudah, 21/16 (using these because they are my preference). Would you rather have that or, 22, 18/6, 13?

I am going to have to step away from this until at least some time tomorrow. I will support whatever decision that you guys decide to make. There are arguments for both sides of that deal. I'd rather stay firm at #35/#37 but Okudah and #21 would be... something special for sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionArkie Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 Maybe just take a vote now and see where we're at? Or we can debate it some more. It wouldn't take much to convince me one way or the other? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm of the belief that top-tier players make teams. I, of course, like 18 and 6, and I like 13, but I'd be just as fine with a 3rd round player at 13's position and 21. Adding 21 and 22 in this draft, with a 3rd round player at 13's position, and still having another 3rd round pick and two 4th round picks is, to be, a more valuable haul. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 Alright. Good idea. We'll put this to an official vote. The Detroit Lions receive: #15 The Tampa Bay Buccaneers receive: #35, #37 This trade will be contingent on one of the following players being available: 21, 16, 65, 38. (Or others...) What say you, people? 'Yea' or 'nay'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionized Posted April 3, 2020 Share Posted April 3, 2020 38>65 21>16 if we kept our picks 85 would be a dream 13 is another favorite. Another point with all our picks in the range from 3rd-5th maybe we could package something up to get back into the 2nd? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a sucker for players like 65 and 38... short-term, long-term, whatever-term. Considering our roster, I think it both fills a need and gives us another dimension, especially considering what happens to the position next year. I also love the thought of 21 and 16. Truly can't go wrong there, either. If any of those picks fell to #35, I feel like we'd be running up to the podium with their name in hand. (I mean, not literally. I don't think they do that.) I just think it's insane to leave this draft with Okudah and one of those players... players that can legitimately evolve their position for this team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 3, 2020 Author Share Posted April 3, 2020 If you want to evolve this defense, pairing Okudah with 21, and with our free agency moves, gives us a pretty crazy unit. We'd still have picks to spend on 13's position and 38's position in the 3rd round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
