I think King is a safety in the NFL

Even if that's the case, he's such a solid play all around. Given we're nearly into the 5th round, I'd be happy to draft him just for special teams purposes. I don't see anybody else left in the draft that seems more of a surefire contributor at the next level. That includes Butt.
 
I dunno.... I'm not feeling this draft after rd 1. I just thought we could plug more starting holes.

Tabor might be a decent pick if he turns out to be a starting safety.
Didn't get any de or dt help. Golladay won't start over Jones. Reeves-maybin doesn't start. Roberts won't see the field much.

We helped out some depth in need areas.... hopefully they can develop.

If Tabor is healthy by season start, don't be surprised if he wins the starting spot opposite Slay. He was a monster in coverage in college.

I agree. I don't doubt that he'd challenge for the slot job right away, but I think he'd be Glover Quinns ideal replacement. Go get him

Tabor is a corner through and through, and potentially a good one

124. Detroit Lions: Jalen Reeves-Mabin, LB ? Tennessee
Everything about this is I love. The need at linebacker is there, the player and potential are there with Reeves-Maybin, and it all falls into place. Well done. Grade: A

127. Detroit Lions: Michael Roberts, TE ? Toledo
Eric Ebron was a premium pick in the first round, but hasn?t lived up to the hype. They need a willing blocker in-line that can also catch the pigskin and Roberts should be that for them. Grade: B+

We should draft Stevie Tu'Ikolova or Elijah Qualls with the next pick . Both are huge and big run stoppers .
 
4.62 4- for talib. Good med to short with ball skills. Give him help with quin
