LionArkie Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I'm curious if you perfer KT over Hutch, or do you think Hutch will be the #1 pick? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I like it other than I think we have to do more at WR than just Olave. The rest of our guys just didn't do enough to be comfortable with just Olave added to the group IMO. I wouldnt depend on Cephus or Raymond on a legit team. I dont know a ton on Hall so would need to look into him more. I feel like there will be better talent at that pick at more dire of need positions. I also don't think Howell makes it to round 3 but if he does, I am all for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lions017 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I don't see Howell making it to round three, but I like the idea of getting some kind of project there like Zappe or whoever is the best available. I like most of the draft. Olave would be a great fit because he's super versatile but is also a deep threat, which is something that ARSB hasn't really shown yet. Those two would give defensive coordinators headaches when they're out there with Swift and Hockenson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have Kayvon as number 1 right now. We'll see after the combine. I want the more athletic freak between the two. Just my preference for any 3-4 OLB.

(Reynolds/Olava/St.Brown) would be the focus and Raymond/Cephus are backup/role players. Howell might not make it to the third. I'm just predicting an epic slide. Who knows though. There are a lot of teams that can role the dice on a QB in the 2nd round especially. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigC421/ Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Getting Olave there would be pretty ideal. I really like London and Burks too although I’m not sure London makes it there. Howell in essentially the top of the 4th round seems pretty unlikely. I’m a bit confused by the OLB situation. You want to relegate Romeo to 3rd string? He’s being paid 14 million a year. Throwing 70 and 21 plus the 2nd pick of the draft all on edge players to boot seems like some over kill. I suppose they could get creative particularly with Reddick and Thibs but it’s still a bit much. Also don’t really see a purpose in giving that money to Raymond who’s essentially a practice squad player on most teams but that’s nit picking. Like the Butler signing. Don’t know much about Hall yet so I’ll have to get around to him. Clarke would be a nice pick there but I think he mite be a guy that gets pushed up boards due to overall lack of linebackers available particularly in FA. Filling the LBer need is going to be pretty tricky without reaching there just aren’t a lot of quality options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filling the LBer need is going to be pretty tricky without reaching there just aren’t a lot of quality options. The pass rush situation on the team is stacked. Like you said Lions now have multiple OLB's that make different fronts and match ups, 3-4/4-3. Logan is a poor mans JJ Wyatt or Arik Armstead(imo) so figure that in how you like. Injuries happen. Owkara also isn't long-term even if he is signed to that big money he's coming off an serious injury. Throw in Jabril Peppers from time to time and the dynamics of the Lions pass rush could get really creative/good. There's pass rushers at almost every level on this defense to worry about.

Louis Friend Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I don't think Olave will be there. I like Clark and Monday picks. I'm not high on Logan Hall and don't have him as a top 34 player. I didn't see Josh Reynolds in your free agency but did see Patterson listed twice. Overall, I don't mind this. But I don't think we did enough in free agency. Reddick is nice, but Lions will have some money to spend and just re-signing our own guys is not good enough for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) Cant help but think that Jahan Dotson plays a lot like Tyreek Hill. 4.33-second With his 4.33-second speed in the 40-yard dash and his sure hands, Dotson has received much attention from NFL scouts and draft analysts. https://www.inquirer.com/college-sports/penn-state/penn-state-college-football-jahan-dotson-wide-receiver-declare-nfl-draft-skip-outback-bowl-20211227.html Edited January 24, 2022 by Just Want A Title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
