Karnage84 Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Vikings and Texans have swapped picks. Vikings now hold picks #11 and #23. This looks a lot like ammo for a trade up to #2 or #3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One potential consequence is that they will have a lot of trade ammunition if they want to trade back into the 1st round at 29. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenhater Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 17 hours ago, Just Want A Title said: The Lions have done a pretty solid job of addressing needs even if they haven't made any splash signings. It is getting harder for me to see them trading up in the draft for anyone unless something totally unexpected happens. Most likely this is correct but i could also see them going up to get Verse. I have a feeling Denver is a sweet spot to trade. He could be there and they appear to be tanking for next year. They might want to aquire draft capital since they are low on picks.

Originally from Ferris State so would be coming back to MI. Has had a decent three year stretch in Houston as a depth slot CB. Solid tackler and run defender so makes sense. Would likely be a backup to Brian Branch if we sign him. Assuming if we do, it will be a cheap deal that has little to nothing guaranteed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His missed-tackle-rate for the last three years: 5.5%, 6.8% and 8.9%. Solid numbers. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/ThomTa01.htm 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Wow, Aaron Donald retiring. Thats a tough blow to the Rams and sad to see another all time great leave the game. Still sad we passed on him in the draft but then we likely wouldn't be where we are now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sort of expected soon but not this soon. Figured with the Rams getting healthy and looking like they may have a chance to compete would keep him interested another year or two.

Based on what is on OTC it cant be good. https://overthecap.com/player/aaron-donald/2952 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing he would still count against their cap in a big way ($24M) this year unless he agreed to take a paycut? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think he makes it to 11 but I think he will be 3rd QB taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
