Sllim Pickens Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 I’m good with it. I like 21 quite a bit and he reall helps a weakness, but I get concerned about 2/3 other positions that we also need to fill. But as far as drafts go, if we get two top 15 picks, one of which being a top 10 talent IMO, it’s a win. Can always look at trading up later too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My rationale: we basically took Okudah at #3 and Kinlaw fell to #35. (And had a 5th magically upgrade to a 4th while finding a future 3rd on the ground somewhere.) I'd much prefer Kinlaw to Gallimore, and we can find a good player at 13's position in round 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know people don’t always like combine risers but the more film I watch on him I think 4 can develop into a real player. I'd love to see a 57 as a Lion. However, if someone like 13 is still there in the 3rd I think he needs to be the pick. I'm still concerned about that position group. But you wouldn't have to twist my arm one bit for 57. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigC421/ Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 13s teammate is probably more realistic but either is solid value in the 3rd, even there other teammate as a later round guy with huge upside. 3rd rd could be a great spot to double up at the position (group) depending on how the board falls. I think we need to come away with at least 2 before the 5th rds this over 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Yeah, I agree about 13's position. I sort of wanted to scour other teams' trade blocks for a body there as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hard thing is going to be waiting and not wanting to trade up. There are going to be a lot of very tempting players in the second. 96 also wouldn't look bad in the 3rd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are players that drop that will be great value at #67. Unfortunately, that's Monday... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 Ha! So true. We, as a family, played the "What day of the week is it?" game yesterday. I don't remember who won, but I'm pretty sure we all lost. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, have to let the board fall to us. This thing moves slow we start to talk about guys we’re willing to trade up for as we get into the mid 2nd I think 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC421/ Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Can I get a list of the picks we have left? A lot of swapping went on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TL-TwoWinsAway Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 I'd like for us all to discuss Mr. Forrest Lamp, OL, LAC: 6'4", 310 lbs, just turned 26 years old. Early 2nd round pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Regarded as a versatile tactician on the OL. He tore his ACL in training camp as a rookie, then broke his fibula last year. As a result, he has only 9 games played entering his 4th year in the NFL. It appears as if LAC brought in Trai Turner to give them a reliable starter at OG, making him (potentially) expendable. We aren't in that position: out of all of our bodies at IOL (outside of Ragnow), he'd likely be our best. I don't think the asking price would be too high, and we'd get to see what he has during his pivotal 4th year to know if we should keep him around. Thoughts?
