OFFICIAL: Draft Day (Day One-Three)

[Mitchrapp]

It's a bit early but we gotta have a draft thread. I know there was a chat room created but as Grandy said yesterday, not sure it's needed since it's slow between picks.

$10 that Luck is the top pick :hehe:

I'm excited! 11 and a half hours to go. lol

I gotta say I am not as excited for this draft as I have been in the past. I guess because before this was the highlight of our year. Now we have a good team and we are picking later and our pick wont be that pslash as it can be with the higher picks.

Picking later doesn't mean anything. We could still have one of the better drafts. Just ask the pats or ravens.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Yeah no doubt. Because 23 can go so many different ways its exciting. We knew we were drafting Stafford, we knew we'd be drafting Suh. So those drafts were less exciting until the 2nd round. Can't wait.

If Mayhew can find Pettigrew and Delmas and Titus Young, he can find somebody good in Round 1 and 2 this year. And Best and LeShoure talent wise are just fine but injury wise are the questions IMO.

The days of hoping on just Round 1 to pan out are long gone. Mayhew makes it happen with most of his picks.

Heck he got us Corey Williams, Lo Jack, Chris Houston, Rob Sims with 5th and 6th round picks.

He is very good at finding guys who fit the Lions that other teams give up on.

I will say its a lot different now that we have a GM and a head coach that are competent. I think we trade down out of 23. I wouldnt be that surprised if we didnt make a pick in rd 1.

I imagine if we traded out of the first, we'd get an extra 2 and maybe a 3?

 

[wheels002]

I think you may see some teams wanting to trade into the 20's for Weeden. And I think we could drop to the top 10 of rd 2 and still get a really good player.

As long as we don't go DE in the first round, I'll be okay. Mayhew and the coaches have done a great job finding players (willie young, lojack, turk mcbride, etc.) that can rush the passer. There's no need to go with one of these 3-4 LBs to play DE for us. 2nd or 3rd round...sure.

Not sure I want a DT either. OT/G, CB or S and I'd be happy. No DT, RB or WR.

obviously, yeah, i wouldn't be happy with a DT either. it needs to be CB, DB, OL, or even LB.....depending on if someone drops.

 

[Monster]

mayhew was looking to trade up to get peterson last year...any chance he tries to move up for claiborne? or even Kalil if minny doesn't take him?

Sure if you want to give up a RG3 deal.

 

[Mitchrapp]

If anything, maybe trade up to 12-14 but I doubt higher than that. Cost too much.
