Draft Thread 2020

I agree we should throw money at as many defense guys as we can.

Are we worried about Okwara broken fibula? I guess it has healed but I hate taking guys who get hurt in college. He gets to stay with his brother rent free Lol.

Free press says Lions crushed it on day 2. Potential 3 starters. I guess that means last years team was real bad.

Check out this article from Detroit Free Press:

Like this college stat.

Swift carried the ball*just 440 times in his entire college career; by comparison, J.K. Dobbins had 725 carries at Ohio State and Jonathan Taylor had 926 at Wisconsin

Having rage-quit after the Swift pick, and allowing a night to cool off, I'm pleasantly surprised by what the team did in the third. Okwara was a second round talent and is a really good fit. Jackson could immediately step in for Glasgow and should be a strong pass blocker.

If we had swapped Swift for Josh Jones or Kristian Fulton, I would be feeling ecstatic about this draft.

My Feelers for Day 3.
Picks at 109, 166, 197 and 235

I'm exactly the opposite. I raged-quit after the Okudah pick, but I thought the Swift choice was an excellent decision. The rest of it was meh to good.
