The Official Round 1 Draft Thread

We are doomed. I don't hate the pick, but what the hell do you pick up Ramirez for then?

 

[LKP]

Deep at guard in two seconds. Ramirez versatile. Backup guard and center. Improved run game. Love this. Told you we had only one spot to upgrade

 

[jdeb]

About Flippin time we did it right... YES!

 

[Mitchrapp]

Hate hate hate this pick..

 

[inkfreq]

So does manram play rt?

Could be. He's played all over the line. He wouldn't be worse than what we had last season.

 

[zoombabyzoom]

Kids like a neurosurgeon apparently.

Eh, I can't complain I did like the kid. Tad early from us looking in, but fuck I never know the value teams place on kids

We drafted a Dukie...in football...as a first round pick. LOL that's weird.

 

[mhughes0021]

Can manny play rt? Im lost....

 

[boogerlovejoy]

So does manram play rt?

C maybe?

 

[jdeb]

Early for Tomlinson, but they must be terrified of Warford being seriously hurt.

No. Protect from inside out. Stafford will have a field day.

Nothing wrong with the pick.. We get another linemen from Denver and 2 picks ..Plus this guy.. Not a sexy pick but it had to be.
done.. We Have to stay positive.. I like him... Our line was very sub-par last year and not deep.

 

[swami45]

Denver beat writers are saying Ramirez was likely to be cut before camp anyway. Remember him playing poorly last year, must just be for depth

 

[detrisin]

A little early for our version of LT. If it was a Round 2 pick I'd be thrilled.

 

[motown1958]

He's not first round talent..

Neither was Warford and yet he looks worthy of a first round grade now.

False. We don't draft for need. BPA

 

[zyxt9]

Wow. WTF was the point of Manny Ramirez?

Still, the Guards will look good. Running should be a bit easier.

Any of them able to play center? Or maybe they are protecting against injury? I'm not sure. Maybe a vet helping to coach up a rookie??? I'm trying man...

 

[jdeb]

I'm so freaking happy, now we are looking more like a deep playoff team. Plus we are gonna get some running lanes as well

 

[lucke]

I love the pick. I wanted Laken in the 2nd, but there was no way he was going to be there by the time we picked. Running the ball just got a lot more viable, same with interior protection for Staff.

 

[Mitchrapp]

Neither was Warford and yet he looks worthy of a first round grade now.

But we didn't draft Warford round 1.

I think this pick blows holes in the Lions Best Player Available theory. No way he was the highest rated on their board. No way. I think he's going to be great on the line for us, but there is absolutely no way he was BPA.
