Draft Thread 2020

C?mon brotha...hop on the Swift wagon w the rest of us, plenty of room. Go get yourself a Swift jersey and a smile!

If you want him to do well I'm going to stay away from getting his jersey. No one ever works out that way. You can thank me later.

 

[biggunsbob]

Build a good line. Guys like Darren Williams, and Raheem Mostert have decent Super Bowls.


When will the Lions learn. Draft freaking inside out. Hopefully Swift is the next Barry Sanders but we need to fix the lines on both sides of the ball.

Pride Of Detroit Lions Blog Podcast: 2020 NFL Draft Day 1 recap: Jeff Okudah, Jordan Love and Day 2 targets. 43 minutes.
We break down all the latest stories in our Day 1 recap podcast.
The hours before the NFL Draft proved to be much more wild than the event itself. In the end, the Detroit Lions did what just about everyone expected them to do by taking Ohio State cornerback Jeff Okudah.

So after all was said and done, the PODcast crew gathered beyond 2 in the morning to discuss all of Thursday night?s events, our thoughts on Okudah, and what?s coming next for Detroit in the rounds that follow.

We?ve been talking about Okudah for months, but now that he?s actually a Detroit Lion, how does he fit on the team? Can he make a Year 1 impact, or is he due to progress slowly like many young cornerbacks in this league? And why did the Lions and general manager Bob Quinn struggle to find a trade down partner? Is it fair to put any blame on Quinn himself?

Then we move to the rest of the first round, where we finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel in the Aaron Rodgers era. We break down our initial thoughts of the Jordan Love shocker in Green Bay.

Finally, we talk about Day 2 of the draft, and all of the different directions the Lions could go with their next three picks. Jeremy lists several names Detroit could be targeting at offensive line, defensive line, running back, and wide receiver.

The Lions have their man. Jeff Okudah is the pick at #3. Why no trade down? And who will be available at 35 tomorrow?

 

[503]

Looks like Quinn got value at 35 by staying away from Baun and Epenesa. Both players still on the board at pick 51.

 

[tomdalton22]

broncos with Jeudy and Hamler....i think im going to have a new favorite west coast team.

If Drew Lock is any good Denver might be a really good team. They already have a good D, a decent running game and now it appears 3 really good/young WRs.

 

[JScottWriter]

So an injury prone, ball security issues, that needs to be on limited touches running back. Nice.

 

[thehippo73]

If either guy is there at 67 and we don't take them, I will lose it.

Looks like Quinn got value at 35 by staying away from Baun and Epenesa. Both players still on the board at pick 51.

you are starting to sound like LKP

Did he get value if Y. Gross-Matos turns out to be a really good DE which is a position of great need?

 

[tomdalton22]

J. Taylor will probably out rush Swift by 500 yards and have 8 more TDs

Lol don?t be mad at me. I?m just stating facts, draft board speaks for itself!

"Facts" based on the opinion of other people's draft boards posted on their blog.

Eagles took Hurts in the second round???

I?d take that bet for $1000?!
