StefanAVFC Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) Holy shit, we've gone from average receivers to the best 1,2,3 in the league, in like 5 years. Edited April 28, 2023 by StefanAVFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Most teams picked best player available, few big trades... Houston really gambling for it to get 2nd and 3rd pick. Not sure I would have gone for an RB with a top 10 pick like the Falcons have.... but we're not picking until late today anyway so my opinion is moot. Lions taking an RB bit of a headscratcher too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumerican Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 75% of the QB's selected so far have ended up in the AFC South FFS. 100% of them lost to Stetson Bennet FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 We wait nearly 2 days to draft and take a kicker with the 99th pick (after trading up for a safety who may or may not be good). **** stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theunderstudy Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Oh and a crap TE at 101 too. So safety (partial need) kicker (desperate need but not top 100 pick need) and tight end (not needed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tegis Posted April 29, 2023 Author VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2023 My consensus after reading reactions is that we got good players but bad trade-value. Another WR suggests we might trade one of the incumbents for future picks. That said, I have no idea No. 63: Marvin Mims, WR, Oklahoma No. 67: Drew Sanders, LB, Arkansas No. 83: Riley Moss, CB, Iowa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 QB, WR, OLB. A very predictable draft from us so far - can't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen a SB winner with a bad kicker. And you have a gazillion picks left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure I would have gone for an RB with a top 10 pick like the Falcons have.... but we're not picking until late today anyway so my opinion is moot. Lions taking an RB bit of a headscratcher too Gibbs has been extremely underrated in the mock drafts because he's more than a running back and also played receiver in college. He's more of an Alvin Kamara type running back/receiver who can also line up in the slot and catch a lot of screens. Reports came out yesterday that the Patriots or Jets were reportedly going to draft him 14th or 15th if the Lions didn't get him. As for the Lions drafting him, D'Andre Swift is a very good running back, but he's always injured for significant periods of time during the season and drops a lot of screen passes. It's part of the reason why an average career backup running back in Jamaal Williams broke Barry Sanders's single season TD record last year. Having an extremely flexible weapon like Gibbs in the backfield makes the already potent Lions offense even more dangerous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumerican Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Gibbs is legit and Hooker is super underrated. The Lions are doing some pretty shrewd business IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Positional value though ain't it You need to be a HoF RB to be going that low And there was a tonne of talent on the board too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
