Keep plugging holes holmes!

I would have preferred Washington. Iowa is a TE factory

 

[mhughes0021]

Pretty obvious holmes is patching holes as the main priority. That said be on the look out for S, DT, RG, TE and QB picks over the next couple days.

Cross one of the list.

Was trying to warm up to this draft, but this is rough. LaPorta over other top TEs still on the board, ugh.

Our defense stinks.

So let?s go tight end.

Good dline. Added a 1st round lb. Added 3 cbs. Get Walker back to pair with Joseph

Te was a huge need

Iowa te

 

[SpartyNash]

3 picks in and no edge rusher is really disappointing to me

 

[gotime909]

LaPorta put up almost 700 yards in that garbage offense. That would probably be converted to 1200 yards in an average offense lol

 

[Mitchrapp]

Get rid of RB, draft RB - get rid of TE draft TE. That makes us better how?

In the NFL that equates to 300.

PFF on LaPorta

Pick Grade:Average
Detroit shocks the football world once again by taking tight end Sam LaPorta over Notre Dame?s Michael Mayer at Pick 34. The Iowa product plays an incredibly physical game, something head coach Dan Campbell covets at every position. LaPorta is a high-quality athlete and an after-the-catch weapon. His 368 yards after the catch and 20 missed tackles forced were both top-three marks among FBS tight ends in 2022.

Don?t have to pay up for 2nd contracts.

Seems like Holmes wants to make sure Goff has enough toys around him to still be able to thrive while Williams sits out those first 6 games. Gibbs and now LaPorta.

Hutchinson, harris, Houston, okwara, okwara, comisky, paschal.

No need.

Need draft for holmes.

Hard for me to say this but I rather have Hock.

All I know is that Ben Johnson must be salivating right now. Anything worse than a top 3 offense would be a disappointment coming out of this draft.

You are scaring me.

Offense really took off after dumping him off. Especially Goff

So why do we need to draft a TE. Sounds like we don't need one.

 

[tigermud]

It?s obvious the draft strategy this is is grit over all else

 

[mhughes0021]

You are scaring me.

You simply don't carry more than 7 DEs on a roster.
