24. Terrion Arnold. CB, BAMA, 6-0 / 196 LBS. Perfect fit. I probably would have given up a second and moved up earlier. Brad read the room, only gave up a third to move up. Excellent pick. It took some guts to watch him drop to 24 before moving up. 61. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. CB, MIZZOU, 6-0...

2nd best kicker in the draft. Did kick a 61 yarder, but had a bit of accuracy issues from 40-49 yards. Outdoors and wider hash marks makes kicking more difficult. Nice pickup.

Really? In four years he took over by far the worst roster in the league and turned it into easily a top 5 roster in the NFL. Voted best GM in football. First time the Lions had a competent GM. Killed the first three drafts, especially last year. This draft finally completed the fix of...

For Round 6, looks like a solid pick.

I suppose a PK could be useful. JOSHUA KARTY of Standford has 60 plus yard range and 85% accuracy.

My guess would be WR, Edge, and OT... ....scouting to see if there are any 7'-1" WRs out there.

Giovanni Manu is a three-way player. He has also played some DL and punted.

It kind if makes sense to pick up a second guy with ties to Canada after getting Mathieu Betts earlier. Now we have two guys who can speak Canadian to each other.

Could you imagine a 350 lbs beast jumping up 34" and landing on you? Damn, that is a massive amount of potential energy.

If he would have been at Combine, he would have tested off the charts.... Manu was clocked at 5.03 in the 40-yard dash with a 33.5 inch vertical leap. He also bench-pressed 225 pounds for 23 reps

First British Columbia player ever drafted... GIOVANNI MANU..OT

Is there another Alabama player available?

This should be the theme song for the rest of the draft.

They are very fluid and are elite in things like cone drills. But if a 4.3 guy gets a step on them, there is no closing speed. Good technique can help limit it, but there will always be those rare instances where not having that top end elite speed will hurt.

The Lions put a lot of value on physicality. We want guys who are going to punch you in the face on Defense. The trade-off is we don't have that elite top-end speed of someone like Wiggins would have given us, so we will need to disrupt their routes at the LOS. It is going to be a fun...
