Lions Clinch Playoff Spot After Redskins loss to Giants.

[dtroitlionsfan951]

Maybe it's just me but the o-line i thought did pretty good this year if you consider the circumstances..at some points we had 3 rookies starting and swanson has been out for a few games. Going forward they should continue to improve drastically. I know our running game has been pitiful but I think that's more due to having no Rb's. Here's my needs in order from least to greatest.

1. Linebacker..we might have the worst linebacking situation in the nfl.
2. Pass rush, preferrably one DE and one DT.
3. Runningback we need another runner on this team besides abdullah, theo should be only a pass catcher.
4.Safety, we need another safety that's youthful and can play. Perhaps killebrew will grow substantially but glover isn't getting any younger.
5. Cornerback depth, we need a solid number 2 and some depth.
6. Wr depth, preferably someone that can stretch the field more.

I'm with you on number 6 but that's not Matt's strength. He can be accurate short to medium but long passes is not his forte.

1. At least 1 more guy for sure. After Boldin is gone, we got who? Ebron not used properly down there burns my ass.
2. Hell ya.
3. Zenner should be that guy IMO.
4. 100%. Too many tiny WRs running around out there...
5. Not sure i agree. Abdullah and Riddick as 1and 2. With Zenner and Washington as the fillers. I still like Washington...yes.
6. Roberts did a helluva job IMO but there's always room for improvement.
7. 100%
8. RG and RT need to be addressed. Maybe Dahl steps up next year??

Good list bro. I still think their biggest need(s) are CB, LB, DE. In that order. Imagine another shutdown corner opposite Slay? A healthy Ansah teamed up with a high pick DE. Throw another good LB in the mix high too! Would be nice but there's obviously other needs. I think we can find a WR through FA that can help next year. I say concentrate on the draft and go defense.

#5 was intended to be backfield as in secondary..DB's

I'd like to add to your list a really good blockinh tight end.

After that acl....Jake butt might be had on deal in the 3rd rd?

I'd like CB Jalen Tabor in the 1st, but I also would have to problem with a pass rusher, DT or DE, don't care. WMU's WR Corey Davis should be in the cards if hes there too, even though it will undoubtedly strike a nerve with most fans. Can't pass up that kind of talent.

Would love that move, it'd push Ebron too. Have a huge season, right before we let him walk

when I heard Hooker declared I thought that would be a great pick at 20...but from what I read he is likely going to be gone by then.

Jabrill is dropping like a rock! That int hooker made vs clemson was ridiculous though. ...his range is crazy.

Give me the top CB or top DE at that spot. Hell, top LB possibly! I don't want nothing to do with drafting another DT. We got some young guys in there that can make a splash hopefully. I guess if it's a monster thete i'm all for it but would rather go a different position. Bottom line....we need some help across the board. Especially defense IMO.

Ngata getting old, I'm not against another big man in the middle one bit. Getting some push from the middle consistently would be awesome. Force that qb to sidestep right into Ansah.

 

[kdp1980]

Seattle's d is 29th is ypa, and 25th in opponent passer rating since Thomas went down. This is not saying this is an untalented group, but it has fallen off drastically.

Good news is there is alot of talented corners in this draft. Bad news is we will probably get like 5th or 6th best one after pick 20.

Either tabor or adoree jackson should be there around pick 21. Maybe both.

Demarcus walker or taco Charlton are probably the des we can choose from. Never really saw taco as a 1st rd pick. ...but he's been in alot of mocks late 1st rd along with wormley.

Not a big fan of Jackson. We've got plenty of undersized corners.

 

[tomdalton22]

Lions a 7.5 point underdog in Seattle

Weve taken big corners in the 3rd round that got cut in a year...remember that guy LKP kept saying was going to be a pro bowler for us?? Ya no one else remembers his name either. I dont care what size they are....we need people with talent.

 

[LKP]

Alex Carter is on the roster. Right now. Do you even pay attention to the team hughes

Ya i do....i remember him being waived this year. Your savior. Waived.

Promoted to the team on 12/24 when 18 guys infront of him were injured. They played Don Carey injured over him lmao. Your savior. 0 snaps. Don Carey injured....all the snaps.

[kdp1980]

Ugh, Greenwood. Anyways, Tabor is not Greenwood. Going to be a good one, and will probably move up when he blows up at the combine. Slays size, not a giant corner, but has good size. Reminds me of Slay, honestly, but more polished coming out, maybe better ball skills than Slay.
