Draft Thread 2020

I?ve been very pleased with most of the picks post Okudah until now. No defensive line help? Another RB?

What late 5th rounder on the dline would play next year?

That rb is for special teams. Y?all wanting to draft starters in the late 5th round are high.

I think they'd like to be done with Agnew as a return guy.

WTF?!? Another RB??? What the hell is BQ doing?

RB depth chart right now
Swift
KJ
Scarborough
Ty Johnson
Tra Carson
Jason Huntley

Watch his highlight tape. Alot of kr and pr tds. 1000 yds receiving. Bye agnew.

I really think Bradlee Anae would be a great fit with this pick. I would hope we would address the worst part of the Lions defense. When Mitch Trubisky looks good against your defense, your pass rush blows.

I liked anae too but he wasn't going to get reps over bryant okwara and okwara.

I would rather have Anae than Bryant or either Okwara. Julian Okwara will not have a positive impact on pass rush. Bradlee Anae can create pressure on the QB.

And Anae just goes to the Cowboys. Watch him make an impact. I realize he won't be an All Pro but Anae can be a good rotational pass rush guy.

I wish he was a WR......but I love adding explosive players to the O.

As many have said.....if your Quinn, you have to ask yourself if the player your about to pick is better than another player on your roster. If he doesn’t feel that Willikes or Anea are better than Okwara or Bryant.....there is little use in picking them.

Clearly they didn’t think much of their RB situation before the draft started.

Oh i agree.... but wr should have addressed that need a long time ago. Instead we dedicated an entire draft to running the ball. Our qb is so oooooo good we're doing everything we can to take the ball out of his hands. 35 mil!... here we come!

Can't hurt .

But when we did nothing but let Stafford throw, everyone was pissed we had no balance and no running game. Now we focus on running and somehow thats an indictment of Staffords ability to throw.

Not sure running the ball means your trying to give less responsibility to your QB.

Pretty sure KC spent their 1st on a RB. Does that mean they don’t want the ball in Mahomes Hands?

Pretty sure they won the Super Bowl, so I think they have fewer holes in their team than the Lions. When you win the Super Bowl, you can take luxury picks.

Not at all what the conversation was about.

Are you saying that only winning teams can want to run the ball better?

I'm saying comparing the team drafting 3rd and the team drafting 32nd have very different needs.

The Lions draft a RB in round 2. No need for another RB in this draft. Address the anemic defense. Lions gave up the most passing yards and had the fewest interceptions. Yet 5 of our 7 draft picks have been on the offensive side of the ball.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Since Matt was drafted the best season we had, based on wins, was 2014. Average at best for Matt. You need defense, like 2014. Doesn't it ever dawn on them.

#197 John Penisini DT...lulz.

 

[biggunsbob]

Sweet a undersized Running back. They must have a dL signing we don’t know about coming up.

Right ?

 

[turok]

NYJ pick top-rated pro-bowl caliber punter Braden Mann...snooze ya lose Lions.

Yeah....a UDFA or a post-draft D-Line cut from another team.

Packers took Indiana OT Simon Stepaniak. Giving Wolverine/Lions fans yet another reason to hate Green Bay.
