2016 Draft- Who ya got?

[tigermud]

I agree with needing a stud LT , move rieff to RT move waddle to the inside and the line suddenly works much better IMO

Move Waddle to the sidelines or better yet move him to Chicago.

2016 Lions draft board for round one should only contain one sheet imo, trade down and pick up two or three

good teams are built through the trenches. The OL is the biggest weakness on this team. They will also need help on the DL and in the secondary.

What they really need is another matchup nightmare...that will fix things!

Horse shit that good teams are built through the trenches. You can find really good OL in the later rds. We haven't ignored the trenches at all though. Most of them high draft picks. Reiff, Tomlinson, Warford, Swanson... all top 3 rds.

Watch the offense and remember to do the exact opposite.

Sure lol. Whatever works at this point...I don't care

 

[tonyballs]

Did he have open guys? I didn't see very many on the few shots they showed of the whole field. The secondary seemed glued to the WRs. Rodgers did a decent job extending plays at times and still nobody got open. In fairness I didn't watch the complete game.

DLine was disruptive. Ware and Miller were animals, continually bringing heat all game. And that secondary is retarded. Denver D is the rizzle...

 

[tonyballs]

LT makes the most sense. If we end up with #1 overall I wouldn't mind seeing Lynch drafted. If we slide to 5-10 im shooting for Treadwell or Nkemdiche. Lynch highlights:

Beast, bro. Did you see how easily he threw that TD at the 1:32 mark? A 60+ yarder with ease. And he's ACCURATE.

My dude.

Since taking one is the wrong thing to do, I'd say it's very much in play.

Why is it the wrong thing do?

I'd be fine with us going Tumsil (OT - Ole Miss) or Stanley (OT - ND) in the first, then following that up with Cameron Erving (C - FSU) in the second. Probably wouldn't hurt to grab another OL in the mid-rounds either. I think our OGs will be fine, but we really could use an upgrade at LT, maybe slide Reiff to RT to upgrade over Waddle and/or draft another OT, and get a viable alternative to Swanson at C and the loser of that battle can slide to a depth C/OG spot.

Why is it the wrong thing do?

Putting a rookie QB behind a porous, swiss cheese offensive line is a recipe for disaster. I don't want to see our next drafted QB get David Carr syndrome and never recover.

I know the argument will be made that "just because you draft a QB doesn't mean he will play". Let's be real. If the team flounders and you have 'nothing to lose', the new QB is going to see snaps. I just don't like it. Fix the line, then get your QB.

If the next regime decides that Lynch is the next franchise QB, you take him. There is plenty of room to draft O-line further down the draft. Not to mention they have taken three in the last few drafts (Reiff, Tomlinson, Swanson). If those guys are as high as they should be, then the new coaches can get something out of them.

so you don't think that a team needs a good OL and DL? Those are the two most important units on a football team.

That's a huge fucking 'if'.

I will say that it will be really funny to see Mrs Stafford rampage on social media if they did take a QB with the #1 pick next year.

 

[dubbsco]

I know it's a big if, but this team has spent several high draft picks on O-lineman.

Stafford clearly isn't the guy. They can build depth throughout later rounds. The QB drop-off is MASSIVE after the top few, unless you like Christian Suckenberg.

They need a OT. Waddle is not the same after injury and Reiff regressed this year. OT but stud DE is on the table. You need two pass rushers in this league too.

I would probably want a stud LT, DE or even a DT if he was a force. If they get the #1 or #2 pick I prefer they trade back but not out of the top 8-10.

Tomlinson is a rookie, Swanson blows,Warford is good when healthy, and Reiff is a RT playing LT. I don't care where they were picked, they're still subpar. Quit acting like Stafford has adequate support around him. They've wasted 7 years on Stafford and still don't have him behind an even solid oline. That's pathetic. I want to see Stafford play behind a good oline, drafting a stud LT is the ONLY way to go. If Stafford sucks behind a good offensive line next year it's over for him in Detroit, and I think everybody would agree that he's not the guy. 7 years into Staffords career and I'm still nowhere close to satisfied with the line their putting him behind. This is one year that I will not judge Stafford, this whole team has quit on us, due to lack of talent on both the offensive line and defensive side of the ball.

Trade back and miss out on the top LT?

 

[dubbsco]

That's not true. He's had good o-lines while he was here. One year he did really well with it, and in 2013, he wasn't very good.

The line sucks this year, but he's responsible for some of that. Not recognizing blitzes, holding onto the ball WAY too long, actually running directly into the blitz. His pocket awareness is pathetic. I bet when he played Seattle, Wilson would have LOVED to have the protection he was getting in that game. But he makes things work because he can move and throw on the run.
