OFFICIAL: Draft Day (Day One-Three)

[kingofdetroit57]

CBS had Broyles as the 15th best WR with a 3-4 round projection. I think that's quite realistic.

The pick makes absolute sense, it's just not a pick I wanted.

The Lions go BPA, and this guy is a high octane receiver. His injury should put him back on the field soon, so he rated out highest on the Lions board.

For as much as we gloat about always going BPA, we sure do tend to cry a lot when that Best Player wasn't the best player we all wanted.

That why I pretty much never post about the draft here. I've 100% accepted that they are taking the BPA (in their eyes). I don't even try to guess. They don't care about need. They care about talent. And I'm fine with that.

Do any of us truly think Broyles was BPA when we picked though? I don't think he was even close to it.

Even when you're in a 2 tight end set 80% of the time?

3 wrs on 75% of plays. Or somewhere around there

 

[kingofdetroit57]

3 wrs on 75% of plays. Or somewhere around there

LT, LG, C, RG, RT on 100% of the offensive plays.

3 wrs on 75% of plays. Or somewhere around there

and hes the 4th WR on our depth chart....soooo like 95% of the time he wont be on the field

 

[wheels002]

OK he is a punt returner and a #3 or 4 WR. So if he can heal in time do we then cut Logan we lets face it had his issues last year. And if he isnt so be it he will be ready to replace Nate after next season.

If we were going WR, why not Randle?

Broyles is better if healthy.

 

[kingofdetroit57]

6'3", 207lb, 4.55 40yd dash, and healthy. That sounds WAY better to me, but WTF do I know?

That's why I said "in their eyes." They don't care what the draft board of accountants, lanscapers and engineers look like. Fans spend tons of time trying to guess our picks and you won't ever come close. I don't get pissed off at drafts anymore. Clearly they've helped move us in the right direction so there's no reason to get pissed about a guy before he's ever played a down in the NFL.

Compare production

 

[kingofdetroit57]

Broyles is 5'10", 192lbs, 4.57 40yd dash before shredding his ACL.

If we were going WR, why not Randle?

exactly.

i do like broyles though. i think he'll be good for us, but a CB/S would be nice

wow. Colts took another talented TE.

 

[Diggler Cometh]

Are we still pissing and moaning? We all just need to get over this. Plenty more picks coming.

 

[tigermud]

What we do at #85 K? Hanson isn't going to last forever.
