Louis Friend Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think Stewart and/or Murray could be options for the Lions. Move Riddick over to slot WR full time as that's what he is at this point, Give Abdullah one more year to prove himself and draft a RB in this deep RB draft class. Then let Washington/Zenner/Green duke it out for depth purposes. QB- Matthew Stafford/Jake Rudock? RB- Murray or Stewart/Abdullah/Rookie/Depth WR- Marvin Jones Jr. TE- Eric Ebron/??????/Michael Roberts LT- Taylor Decker LG- Free Agent/Joe Dahl C- Graham Glasgow RG- T.J. Lang/Joe Dahl RT- Rick Wagner SLOT- Golden Tate/Theo Riddick WR- Kenny Golladay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Want A Title Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 The free agents that I think would help us the most: 1. Trey Burton TE--Ebron is too super athletic but is a headcase. 2. TJ Carrie slot CB--He is a really good slot CB. 3. Isaiah Crowell RB--The only RB's on our roster that have shown anything are Theo Riddick and Tion Green. Enough said. 4. DaQuan Jones DT--Our only depth at DT is Jeremiah Ledbetter. Ledbetter was solid in spot duty but expecting him to be anything but a role player next year is a stretch. 5. Anthony Hitchens OLB--Reeves-Mabin flashed some speed but projecting him as a starter is a huge stretch. This guy could really help us out. 6. Senio Kelemente OL--Has all OL positions except LT. If we aren't targeting a LG in the draft we should sign him. We can't afford all of them but if I had to prioritize, I would sign Trey Burton, DaQuan Jones and Isaiah Crowell.

Louis Friend Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 A lot of chatter right now that it's a two team race for Malcolm Butler. Word is it's between Detroit and Houston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hankins comes down in price then we could be back in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rob_shadows Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I was always vocal on wanting Donald in that draft, including on this forum... And I've been very vocal about how pissed off I still am that we didn't take him too, lol. But to be fair... Even had we taken Donald the pairing with Suh would have only lasted one year, there was never a realistic chance he was staying in Detroit... He wanted to go to whoever gave him the most money and it was never going to be us. That's actually one of the reasons I outlined in a post back then as to why Donald was the obvious choice.... Everyone knew we were going to lose Suh and likely let Fairley walk leaving us with nothing... Will still never understand what the hell Mayhew was thinking.

I believe that I had been pro-Donald at the time but had concerns as he was considered undersized. However, because of the Fairley/Suh situation it made a lot of sense to draft Donald and then let either Suh or Fairley go. Looking back on it, also liked Justin Gilbert, Lewan, Z. Martin and Bradley Roby. I was very high on Roby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
