Millenhater Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I'm starting to be over this "our guys stuff". I feel like they are reaching for character players. Maybe I'm wrong but this feels like another reach. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detfan782004 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I think it's a solid pick honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenhater Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 There was all this talk that they liked him. But I feel like we are getting mid level talent. If we end up with one of the OL players I like I can live with this as it would be like flipping the picks but right now not a fan of this draft. This draft is feeling like all of our GMs third drafts where they sort of just go off script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detfan782004 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I just find our fan base hilarious. The team looked nothing like old Lions last year and fans are hating every pick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cp0k2 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 So, like, they know we need a lot of help on defense, right? Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Tso Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 It's a bad look when a team trades up to get another TE you passed on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagahide13 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 I don't know that he's on Mayer's level, but seeing Campbell's face it was definitely his guy. We're getting starters with every pick but they're all weird and not where I expect them. It feels like every guy we've taken would have been available at our next pick. This is weird. Thing is, looking back at Holmes drafts in Detroit, he hasn't really missed many picks. He certainly hasn't missed 3 in a row yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenhater Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 What aspect of LaPorta's game is better than Mayer's? His Yac maybe? I know he's faster but I hope we didn't over think this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes fans get some wrong but how often are then right and our front office has been wrong? I think Holmes has picked players fans have wanted and liked so it's not like he was picking all these players no one knew who they were.
