Get StartedFS from Florida gone early. Justin Love too. Justin Hill gone.Players that would make me feel better in day 3 (which basically means we will not get these players):
D’Andre Walker - Edge - Georgia
Showed improvement every year. Has the athleticism to rush, set the edge, or even drop into coverage.
Chauncey Gardner-Johnson - FS - Florida
I think he's dropped a lot because of not having a natural position at the end of his Florida days. He bounced from FS to Nickel CB, due to necessity, and thrived where ever he was. Very aggressive, maybe too much so, but is extremely disruptive.
Mack Wilson - LB - Alabama
This guy is a project. Has all the physical tools to be a sideline to sideline guy. Seems to lack instincts and/or anticipation to be a reliable playmaker. Probably the riskiest of the guys I wouldn't mind seeing the Lions pick. Perfect for the late rounds.
Riley Ridley - WR - Georgia
Calvin's little brother. Doesn't have blazing speed but has extremely polished route running.
Justice Hill - RB - Oklahoma State
Small, shifty back. 4.40 40 yard dash. Very hard to tackle 1 on 1. 41 plays of 20-plus yards at OSU. Doesn't project to be a 3 down back due to lack of size and poor vision.
Justin Love - CB - Notre Dame and Michael Jordan - OL - Ohio State are other top guys that have fallen. I don't know as much about them. I was really hoping the Lions would grab higher ranked guys at those positions early.
But I bet those teams don't pick a TE at 8. And Denver, Cinci - really? Gronk was highly thought of and was a 2nd round pick. Only a stupid franchise takes 3 top 20 TE's.
Thank you.Gronk went in the 2nd round because of a back injury. He was a lock in the 1st.
They were possibly interested in round 2? This might be worse than that braindead long snapper pick
Yeah okay sure. If you can't complain about your teams draft picks then what good is a draft thread for.

I think we got an End.
I'm glad we got an end.
Is that why he missed the combine? I didn't see any measurable.I like it. Austin Bryant had some upper body injury if I remember correct. He was 2nd round talent in a lot of mocks I read.

I think we traded down.
