2016 Draft- Who ya got?

[SoCalLions]

Yep, and we all have different opinions on players. I think guys like Treadwell, Coleman and Elliott are game changers. Would love to see one of those guys in a Lions uni.

Well if we do decide on a WR in the first, I hope it's Doctson.

Yeah they did, hopefully this means more qbs are going in the top 10 picks than expected, so we can get who we want at 16. Or not, ESPN sees the Titans going for a LT or a CB(both high priorities for us), and 1 pick right before us, nonetheless. Will this move hurt us or be a positive for us? If Hargreaves and a all 1st round talent LTs are off the board, I want a trade down,Reggie Ragland, or Shaq Lawson. In that order

Former front office exec anticipates Lions making unconventional draft selections.
Mlive

"I wouldn't say (they will) make a pick that may surprise you, but without a doubt, this is a team that will draft specifically for what they deem to be the kind of role they specifically want (a player) to play, meaning this is a team that won't be afraid to make the unconventional pick, to make a pick that really fits them," Riddick said during a Wednesday conference call.

"A lot of no-frills types of signing, a lot of guys that are role player types of signings that really do fit what New England's protocol has been in the past," Riddick said. "You look at guys like Tavon Wilson, Rafael Bush, Darrin Walls, Johnson Bademosi, these are all very good role players that fit specific criteria within your greater 53-man roster, just like Bill (Belichick) does in New England."

You do know Oakman is currently facing a Grand Jury. Innocent until proven guilty, but the guy isn't getting drafted.

There's a really good chance theDA vacates the trial before the draft with the new evidence that the victim is the one who initiated contact.

Thats never to say a sexual assault didn't take place. She could have sought him out but said no to sex, and that happens a lot.

But it's so much harder for a DA to prove an assault when the defense can put something like that in the jury's mind. They will tell the story of the girl who wanted a free ride, seeking out the draft prospect that could be worth millions (and trust me, they will find something somewhere saying he would have been the first pick of the draft) so she set up a sexual encounter and cried rape.

Just having that is enough to make a lot of DAs drop this thing, and the defense will push for a "we will give a little here if you do this right away".

Regardless of the outcome these type of things tend to pull names from draftboards. Especially when they land so close to the draft.

Oh absolutely. Even if he is cleared, at least half the teams aren't going to touch him. The other half will have him in the 6th - 7th rounds at best.

Odds are, it's all moot as he won't be cleared by this weekend anyway. I'm just saying there is a chance.

Anyone have info on Ryan Kelly? I've been seeing him in mock drafts more often. Given that 3 or even 4 tackles could be gone, and the depth of defensive line in this draft, upgrading the center spot could go a long way. Swanson has been garbage, and he's not particularly strong or athletic to begin with. If Kelly is an Alex Mack type, he could make a pretty big difference right away.

I'm sorry about that hippo, but glad you posted it. I did a search in the Lions team notes thread because I had posted a few on Ryan Kelly. I hope these links work.

Thanks, guys

McShay has Myles Jack falling into Lions lap at 16. Wow, what a couple weeks of research can do. I would not pass on him at all and would be absolutely shocked if he is there at 16. I am not a doctor and have no idea what to think over the reports on his knee. Many had him as the best player in the draft not long ago.

It was a solid yet unspectacular draft class for the Lions. Decker, A'Shawn, Glasgow and Dahl were good selections. I remember liking the Killebrew, Zettel and Washington picks. I was never sold on Rudock as a prospect. And I'm still baffled at drafting a long snapper.

I skimmed through looking for some predictions. Most of the thread was a typical thread...LKP defending Stafford.

yes...going back and reading old threads does remind me how stupid "we" are
