tough call...still no DEs on this team is slightly troubling. Quin, Delmas and Houston kinda makes me say just go ahead and finish the defense. Worry about the oline in some other way.

BPA. Every team needs more playmakers. Don't pass up on a playmaker for need. Collect talent in the draft, buy what you need in FA.
 
I went OT, but that's only if 1 of the 2 studs is there. Kinda like qb, if you don't have one you gotta take one.

We've got to take fisher if he's there. One half of me wishes Lewan came out and the other is glad he stayed. If he did we'd be guaranteed a great lt.
 
Finish the defense. I want to go to Ford Field and feel comfortable with our defense on the field. Not sit there and bits my nails during every play because im worried about guys who cant tackle, cover or make any plays whatsoever.

Go get that CB and DE immediately.
 
If the option is available (big if) you definitely trade down.
 
For as much money as we have invested in Staff CJ and others we have to protect him. I would take OT @5 then I want Barrett Jones in 2nd.
 
BPA was my choice and Mayhew's

But I'd prefer to stay balanced. Fisher and then a DE or CB Round 2 depending who is there and maybe a speed WR in Round 3.

I'm higher on Bentley/Green/Bartell and Lewis/Whitehead/Palmer than most though. But I'm also higher on Fox/Hilliard than most too.

And just to warn you it could be like Jarvis Jones and like a TE (Eifert/Ertz) if Mayhew thinks they are BPA and they drop. We have two tight ends that contracts expire next year and Linehan loves two tight ends plus Jones is just a freak athlete. We'll see how the Lions could get him to fit at OLB/3rd down DE.

To be fair you're higher on everyone than everyone.
 
Lost our starting RT to FA and the LT retired

It's a no brainier to me

Gotta go OL,trade down even if 5 spot isn't needed to do that maybe pick up an extra 1st round pick in the process

Not everyone. Hated KVB. Hate Mike Thomas. Don't like Durants coverage. Not that high on Levy really. Not big on Ronnel Lewis either but he gets some time. Hate Raiolas run blocking. Hated Peterman. Not that big of Scheffler fan after last year when Pettigrew was hurt.

Willie Young I'd be nervous if he started.

We're fucked if big Willie is our starting DE this year. Im calling no chance on that one...

Yeah our run defense would suffer with his size. I want Idonije. He played 1 year 2.5 million last year. Steal him from the Bears. Rotate Jones/Young and a good rookie DE/Idonije.
