#1 Clowney

Any other over-hyped players that will make you cringe if picked by Lions?

Is there anyone more over-hyped since Tebow than Clowney?????

Taylor Lewan - Dude got away with a ton of penalties in the B1G, I think he could get exposed at the next level. Also, I think he's a RT long term.

Eric Ebron - I think he's a good player, but not an elite athlete like Graham. He's doesn't have the hands and separation skills of Gronkowski. He's rated high, but I really hope the Lions don't take him instead of a WR.

Side note: I would draft Clowney if he fell to us. Had some motivation issues this year, but he's a beast on the field.
 
im pretty sure clowney is better than every single DE on our roster....so id probably draft him if he fell to 10. That's a stretch though at this point....hed have to look horribke at the combine for that to happen imo.

Gilbert is probably going to be my guy. Watkins is a close 2nd. I might flip flop those come draft time. 3-4 guys might come into play depending who our DC is. My dark horse is Ra'Shede Hageman. If this huge monster blows up at the combine he could go around 10...with our situation pending with Suh and fairley contracts.....Hageman could provide some leverage and stability if we go another direction in a couple years.

Who I don't want? CJ mosely. 4-3 OLB theres no value getting that high in the first round. Good player but shit value and theres concerns with speed.

Haha Clinton DIx is my other. I hate Delmas and thought quin was below average vs the pass which accentuated our already shitty pass secondary. But like the mosely pick....I think Safety at 10 this year wouldn't be very good value. Again...Dix is a good player and would bring a lift to our secondary but I don't see the value....hes more of a 15-20 guy.
