Nothing really exciting about that.

Comparing him to a more elusive Ray Rice who was a top three rusher for half a decade doesn't excite you?

Sparq jedi....im sold. Really though i love the player. ...but the lions as an organization just sound like they don't know what they want with their offense.

They already have an identity crisis cause it's a different teams offense. Throw in lombardi runs a passing offense. ...caldwell wants to run the ball more. Go get moar weapons for stafford but now lets pound the rock. Potentially 3 new starters on the oline. My god our offense is confusing.....

Wow.. the Seahawks gave up 4 picks to move up and take the NOT best WR still on the board.

5.6 YPC in college does not excite me. That said...I think he is better than Bell so he will be an upgrade.

As much as I want more defense... I'd take Jalen Strong too. Very talented to be falling to the 3rd round.

Gonna need you to stop mentioning prospects. The draft rooms are listening to us.

They want a Darren Sproles clone in the worst way. The focus on guards a MUN TE and an in space RB is a bit of a flare.

Ife Ekpre-Olumu...Come on Detroit, do what you gotta do to land this guy!

But do we give him the ball more than bell?

 

[thehippo73]

Wow! I thought Jamon Brown would be there for us in the later rounds.

Steven Nelson is another name I like. Great ball skills.

 

[lucke]

Ife Ekpre-Olumu...Come on Detroit, do what you gotta do to land this guy!

Why do you want to draft an injured nickel back? We already have 2 of those on the roster.

 

[inkfreq]

I like Alex Carter more than Ifo.

 

[kdp1980]

Yep, Bell just became our 3rd down back imo

 

[kdp1980]

Pj Williams is my guy now

 

[inkfreq]

Pj Williams is my guy now

Oohh.. I forgot PJ. I like him a lot. Great balls skills.

He's a shut down corner, can come up and make tackles. A little undersized but a blanket in coverage.

We have Mathis, draft Ife, let him sit and in 2016 you have Slay on one side with Ife on the other...He was rated the #1 cb by some experts before his injury. Risk/reward is very good in the 3rd round.
