Louis Friend Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 So this mock is a little different. I was discussing team needs versus talent to a friend regarding the draft and we went back on forth on players at each pick. Top 3 rounds only. And we just chose best talent available regardless of team needs. Lions actually ended up with some great talent and at a couple areas of need. 1. Rashaan Evans, LB- I don't view LB as a top need. I've actually spoken against mocks that predict the Lions using their top pick on the position, however, he landed at this spot for this mock and he had incredible talent. He's very fast with good instincts. 2. Maurice Hurst, DT- He's hard to predict with the heart condition discovered at the combine, but the talent is undeniable. I had him as a late 1st/early 2nd pre-condition. 3. Rashaad Penny, RB- Had a great combine, is a position of need and I was surprised he didn't go higher in our mock to be honest. Throwing needs out the window, who do you view as potentially the best talent at each pick? And is that a draft you could accept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superduperman Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 LB is absolutely a top need. Patricia might not play a 3-man front very often but if he even wants it to be a possibility then we need a LB in the worst way, and possibly two. I mocked Evans in round 1 a while back, though with a trade down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFL_Fan Posted March 8, 2018 Share Posted March 8, 2018 Rashaan Evans, not sure I like this pick. We have Jarad Davis at MLB. We need more of a coverage LB. Plus this guy has durability concerns...we dont need that. Maurice Hurst; no way he drops to 2nd...but still no thanks. Big fella that young with heart condition=wasted high pick in a couple years. Penny, out of all these great RB's, I hope we dont get two guys that probably wont be on team in 4 years. and then miss on the great RB class and get a backups backup. Sorry, a little pessimistic. Personally, I think a trade down and get Geuice. Unless of course a beast drops. also like Vita at DT, and Jackson at CB. But who knows what will happen!!(: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows what will happen!!(: Medicals drop people out of the first round all the time. There's two ways it could go. It could be nick fairley 2.0 which didn't exactly affect the lions. Or it could be Star Latoui whos had no issues. But I could totally see Hurst drop out of the first. In fact depending on how bad his medicals check out, I wouldn't take him in the first 2 rounds. Would consider in the 3rd but feel better about taking him in the 4th. call me crazy. Talent and potential doesn't do any good if it can't play.
