Anthony Harris would be a solid pick.

 

[Monster]

Oh yeah, Bennet is still there.

Nor Ben Rapesurburger.

I knew it was an NFL QB, I just couldn't remember who, so i went with Kobe.

Fullback Michail Burton

 

[grandy]

A fullback

A ****ing fb?

 

[Monster]

I have one word for this pick...

Wow...WTF...that was the worst ****ing pick of this year considering talent available. What a wasted pick. That's like a R7 pick selected in R5 when R3 talent is still available.

 

[gotime909]

I'm thinking we could've probably signed him after the draft. That was a weird one.

Seems like character is #1 importance for Lions. Also appears thdy want to run the ball and stop the run..

 

[Monster]

looks like he's gonna be a great receiver at the FB position. Stafford could use that.

First pick of the draft I really didn't like. Fullbacks you can get after the draft. Unless the kid is a superstar, you don't use a pick on one.

This guy wasn't even one of the five best fullbacks in the draft. I really hate this pick.

How many snaps did we use a fb last year? I don't get this one at all. At all

 

[Monster]

You know, the more i watch and read about him, this is a good pick. A good blocker, great receiver "best hands I've ever seen from a fb or rb", and he's very physical. I guess this goes with the idea of beefing up the run game. I can get with it.

He does look like he can catch, no doubt.

35 seconds into that video, I think the scout in the khaki's has a load in his drawers.

Jed Collins played more than you think last season, and even had a receiving TD for us.

He could be a good player for us, in limited time.

However, there were some impact guys still on the board, and this guy probably wasn't going to be drafted at all given his position.

Thats the reason I don't like it. I would rather have Bennett or Ekempre-Olomu than a guy we probably could have called after round 7 and still got.

This. Collins missed a lot of catches last year, too. I think this could end up being a good pick. I would have rather gone with Ifo or a WR, but I can dig it.

I bet he's a good young player for us who develops into a top run blocker and a passable receiver.

Just think we could have gotten him without using a pick. I am on board with the player, not on board with a pick.

This is Nate Freese part two to me.

There's my girl! lol
