Get Startedthey would me stupid not to take him if still there. may be the best player in the draft.
If stafford can't score with what he has now, we should find his replacement now. Unless a WR or TE is truly elite, I see no reason to draft one at 10. Ebron is not elite. Good, but not at that level. Meanwhile, plenty of other good defensive players will be available at 10 or lower. I wouldn't hate Ebron, i just think it'd be stupid to waste a chance to actually make the team better. The pick has to be DE/OLB or DB. That or an elite offensive player that significantly upgrades the group.
5 TEs already on the roster. At least 2 of them will be gone or on the PS. Draft Ebron and you have 4? Pettigrew, Fauria, Williams and Ebron? It's an awful idea. Let Fauria grow in this offense because he could be the future. Maybe even now...
I don't know why there is an obsession with fauria the dude hasn't shown jack shit outside of being tall and being able to win a jump ball. Can he run routes? Is he quick, smart, able to get separation? Can he break tackles? And just because we have pettigrew is no reason not to take Ebron. If he is believed to be a Vernon Davis/jimmy graham style tight end then he's a major upgrade. That'd be like saying don't take Adrian Peterson we have joique bell.
I have heard good thing about Ebron but most have said he is NOT in the same class of athlete as Davis & Graham. If he is though, he would be a great addition. Who cares if the Lions have 4 or 5 TEs on the roster. Dump one or two of them....if Pettidrop is their best TE the 4th or 5th best must be garbage!

Interesting what we hear. I listen to NFL radio XM and they typically say he is in their class. Time will tell. I hear the Giants may draft him though.

There is room for a two tight end offense. Obv grew would be he blocking te which would fit nicely.
BPA works at times, but this team is where it's at because it never goes need. I'm not referring to taking a need that is no better than a 2nd round pick at 10. At 10, there will be a whole bunch of guys that are very similar talented..so use it on a need pick.
If sure if BPA was a QB no one would say take a QB. Not at ten.
I would. We have an over-paid, average QB. We are stuck with him. I am not convinced on Stafford. With that said, who would want him at his current salary? I'd would trade him in a second if anyone above us would want him. Heck, I would take a 2nd or 3rd for him. We have 2 over-paid players killing this team, Suh and Stafford.
trade Stafford to JAX for Manziel straight up?@@??!!!???!!!
trade Suh to HOU for CLowney straight up??@@@@!!!!!!?????????
Poof...we have a shit ton of cap space (next year)
Manziel, really?
$tafford, really? Honestly I'd trade a bag of jelly beans for him.
No reason to bring Jared Lorenzen into this.
