OFFICIAL: Draft Day (Day One-Three)

[Slick]

Stephon Gilmore - DB - Player

NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora confirms the Lions are "legitimately pursuing options to trade up" in the draft.

Whereas ESPN's John Clayton reported the Lions were targeting Alabama S Mark Barron, LaCanfora suspects South Carolina CB Stephon Gilmore is the player "they really like." It's entirely possible the Lions are smitten with both defensive backs, offering more flexibility if they do pull the trigger on a trade.

Go get 'em dudes.

 

[Monster]

Your choice...gilmore or barron?

 

[cheeno]

Barron

 

[lgolfer]

Barron for sure. Proved himself in the SEC under Saban, while Gilmore has shot up the boards partly because of his height and speed.

If you played DI CB and are over 6' you are a millionaire this year.

ESPN. Adam Schefter's inside info trumps all.

I can't handle Chris Berman and Mel Kiper. I think that takes away from Adam Schefter.

 

[cheeno]

I like to flip. Usually lean more NFLN but I agree with lp I like Schefter.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Oh shit, I just remembered - wasn't Millen on NFLN last year during the draft? Man, I hope not.

Lol. Berman. Why is he still there??????

I don't mind Kiper. He's more entertaining than Mayock IMO

 

[Mitchrapp]

Well, if Millen makes on to the set of NFLN then I'm switching to ESPN.

 

[cheeno]

Chat or thread?

 

[Mitchrapp]

I'm staying here. Plus, if I switch to my Tablet later on, chat won't work with it..

Yeah I'm on the tablet now.

 

[Monster]

little over an hour now. probably a few hours before we get our guy though...unless there's a trade.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Foooootbaaallllll!!!!!!!

 

[grandy]

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.

Exactly

Wake me in August

 

[Mitchrapp]

Browns trade their 4 to Minny's 3. Minny picks up additional 3rd. Per NFLN.
