Sllim Pickens Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Can’t say I know much on him but glad we went with OL. I hope he can play OG and OT and push some of the junk off the end of our roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Friend Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 NFLN seems to like the pick.. Late riser, team captain, experienced. I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a lot of starts and help W&M rank high in Rushing and fewest sacks allowed. I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Friend Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 TBH, I lost track of picks. 🫤 We are about 40 picks away. I’d take the best WR available and sign S John Johnson III and attack UDFA. Keep our capspace to see who becomes available later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 I liked Chris Smith. In a couple of years he'll be starting for the Raiders and hitting mf'ers all over the place and people will be like didn't he get drafted in the fifth round?

MrLionzz Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 This draft is shaping up rather nicely for the Kings of the Jungle. In past drafts, we are used to having to swing for players who have to be starters right now because the depth was always so sub-par that being the first or second-round pick meant that you needed to be a starter from day one, now we are in a place where as Lions fans we are simply not used to and that is drafting for depth, drafting for development, drafting on potential and not instant production, this is a new era for us all and we are somewhat taken aback by some of the picks and where they were taken but it's not about where the players were drafted but rather did we get better as a team, did we secure depth at positions that were lacking in overall talent, did we strengthen positions that were good to great and make them great to elite, did we bring in young men who are going to be about ball, who are going to buy into the MCDC style, culture, and mindset, did we shed problem areas that caused us depth issues (RB)? The answers to all of those questions are a resounding yes. So when it comes down to the only negative argument people or analysts have about the draft as being where they were selected I say look at the whole picture, see the plan and where everyone fits and how that is going to push the lesser players out or make them work harder either way draft placement is moot, I care about the overall picture. I can guarantee you there are players under contract right now with the Lions that are thinking I better get to work, I better show up and show out because my days of feeling comfortable and secure due to the depth chart issues are long gone. This team did nothing but get better, create legit competition, and show the rest of the league that we are coming, we are hunting, and the Lombardi is the only thing we hunger for. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows that it's about being able to build depth not just starters, I mean if we constantly have the majority of our rookies being starters then we are never getting better. He knows what the Lions are building. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knows what the Lions are building. I mean...the Lions still got 4 starters in this draft. Gibbs will start heavily in the rotation at RB/WR, Campbell will be a starting LB as a rookie, LaPorta will be our starting TE, and Branch will be on the field plenty in the DB rotation.
