I don't think the Lions are going to risk anyone getting him from the PS. Third round picks rarely end up on the PS. Just like Martin last year, he will be on the roster but play sparingly if at all.

Lol. It probably is the equivalent of that or worse but some of those ends look like they are 150 lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Want A Title Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 I suspect his career arc could be similar to Jordan Mailata. That would solve our long-term LT issues for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

detfan782004 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Detroit got a Millen grade from Walter football on this one. Great grades first couple picks and last couple picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, his foot placement allows him to gain leverage quickly. Size helps but understanding how to use leverage matters no matter how big a person might be.

Just Want A Title Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 It is crazy to think that Penei Sewell might look small next to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they don't stop doesn't equal good footwork. His lateral movement to me was pedestrian. He can be coached up but im not a fan as of today Not for where he was taken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giving up a future 3rd for him is risky. He is a huge boom or bust candidate. Again I have to trust Holmes assessments but for this to be the third player we drafted is wild. Similarly drafting a S next to play RB is also wild. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
