Just Want A Title Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I am a little wary of UGA players at this point. They all test off the charts and come from a winning program but they don't produce a lot of standout NFL players. Maybe Kirby Smart just gets the best out of them. Travon Walker is starting to round into shape but isn't better than Hutch. Tyson Campbell is the most impactful UGA DB I can think of. Jordan Davis has been solid but not spectacular despite his physical tools. Jalen Carter is having a good rookie season but has dropped off a bit lately (could be the rookie wall with him). Kamari Lassiter seems to be a smart player and his change-of-direction/fluidity is really good. 40-times aren't the end-all measurement but if he is going to have problems covering vertical routes that would make him a lot like our current CBs.

Just Want A Title Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 One thing I do know for sure is that the Lions need to settle the PK situation in the off-season. Will Reichard or Joshua Karty would fit the bill. Both might be good enough to get drafted. It wouldn't bother me a bit if the Lions used a 6th or even a 5th to get one of them.

General Tso Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Just a thought but I don't think Tracy Walker is long for this team next year. 12M cap hit. He is either getting Brad's "offer he can't refuse" (paycut) or getting traded. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sllim Pickens Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Iffy is earning himself a nice contract. Hopefully he doesn’t ask for too much and we can keep him now that he is breaking out. He is one I didn’t have on my list of re-signings at the beginning of the season but he has definitely moved there now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going through our upcoming free agent last night and there are a few I hope we re-sign but none that I think would set us back if we lose. It’s a nice spot to be in. Our core is locked up.

Jonah can walk if he's going to ask for a market rate Guard contract. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, and depending on how much he walks for, we might get a comp pick back if he walks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iffy will get a raise if he keeps playing like this for sure but it will probably be on a 1 or 2-year deal. As impressive as his run has been, he does have an injury history. Jonah Jackson is in a tough position. He made the Pro Bowl in 2021. He missed 4 games last year and has missed a number of games this year. There are times when he hasn't played well this year (see last game vs Vikings). It would be nice to see a deal get done but there is a risk that the negotiation process goes sideways and he walks just like Jamaal Williams. Jackson Powers-Johnson would be a very good draft target for his ability to play C and G.. He reminds me of Eric McCoy a little bit with his versatility.

I think Graham is a more valuable player to us then Jonah. His flexibilty has been invaluable to us this season. If i had to choose one i'm probably choosing Graham.

Just Want A Title Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 I was watching the end of the Ohio St V Missouri game last night. Javon Foster looked pretty good and is in that mid-second round mix right now. He seems to have ideal size and shows some pretty good skill. LT usually rise a little bit so maybe he will be in-play for the late first-round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
