Lions 2019 Draft

i got to tell ya...i like alot of the projected 2nd round names. #8 could be a great spot for teams looking to jump up and grab the 3rd or 4th qb off the board (Haskins, Lock or Jones). Depending on the trade...id love to see them trade down and gather as many 2nd rd picks as possible this year. Current projected 2nd rd picks according to waltermock that i love:

Greedy Williams CB
Jachai Polite Edge
Justin Layne CB
Amani Oruwariye CB
Michael Dieter G/C
Irv Smith Jr TE
Jaylon Ferguson Edge

Texans, Eagles, Pats, Colts each have multiple 2nd rd pick.

Greedy Williams is expected to go in the 2nd round now? What happened there? Swear he was mocked to us in the 1st just a few weeks ago.

Detroit Lions named 5th most likely team to trade in NFL Draft.
There?s an awful lot of smoke around the Lions? 8th overall pick being up for sale.
Detroit Lions general manager Bob Quinn hasn?t exactly been the wheeling-and-dealing type in the NFL Draft over his three years on the job. In his first ever draft, he didn?t make a single trade despite having ten picks in 2016. The next year, Quinn only made a single trade, moving down in the third round to pick up a fourth rounder. Last season, Quinn was at his busiest. He not only traded up in the second round, but he traded back into the fourth round using 2019 draft assets.

Despite a relative sparse history of trading in the draft, expectations are high that the Lions will be active during draft weekend this year. With Quinn openly saying his team is open for business to move down in the first round, and rumors about dealing with the Atlanta Falcons still burning hot, USA Today lists the Lions as one of the top five teams most likely to trade their pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. And author Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz has an idea of how they may do it.

?Finding a team antsy enough to leap ahead of the Broncos at No. 10 to grab a passer could be the key to Quinn?s vision materializing,? he wrote.

With so much smokescreening going on at this time of year, it?s hard to imagine all of these rumors are true. However, there has been an awfully large amount of smoke around Detroit and their desire to trade down this year. Could all these rumors actually materialize on draft day?

Pride Of Detroit Lions Blog Podcast: Breaking down the top 7 candidates for the Detroit Lions? 1st-round pick. 66 minutes.
Would you approve or disapprove of these 7 draft picks for the Lions?

At this point in time, it?s getting really hard to tell what the Detroit Lions will do with the eighth overall pick. While rumors of a trade down are gaining steam, there are also a lot of prospects that could be there when the Lions are on the clock that would make a ton of sense for Matt Patricia and company.

So on this week?s episode of the PODcast, the crew discusses the top seven prospects that could very well be the pick should the Lions stay pat at eight. Would the pick make us happy or sad on draft day? How do we envision their fit within the Lions? scheme? Is the value right for the player and the position? Does this feel like a move the Lions would actually make?

That?s the entire focus of this week?s episode as we enter the final couple weeks before the 2019 NFL Draft.

This week?s episode:
Jeremy, Ryan and Chris go through seven of the most likely prospects to be taken by the Detroit Lions with the eighth overall pick and answer a simple question: Would drafting them make you happy or sad?

Who is the better fit in the Lions defense: Montez Sweat, Rashan Gary, Ed Oliver or Brian Burns?

Skill position in the first? You okay with Detroit going tight end or wide receiver in the first?

Which prospects will make an immediate impact with the Lions? Who will take a year or two to develop?

Are any cornerbacks still in play for the Lions at eight or do they need to wait?

Mailbag talks overasked draft questions, our lack of Game of Thrones knowledge and how we fill the time in the NFL?s long offseason.

Mentioned i thought this might be what they do last month. If they don't trade down i could see this being the scenario. Unless they love Crosby at rg...i think it's the pick.
