2024 Detroit Crimson Tide..Roll Lions: Draft day! (21 Viewers)

[BobbyLayne]

G Christian Haynes, Connecticut would make sense here

Unless they like Franklin or Wilson

here's the pick.....

Ok....we now have 5 CB better than we had last year (counting Moseley)

When he says best player available, he means it.

Looks like we’re not extending davis

Rakestraw like Arnold better in press. Carleton Davis prefers press.

Lions can now be aggressive and play press on defense.

 

[jon_mx]

That is one way to say good riddance to Will Harris, Jerry Jacobs, Cam Sutton, Chase Lucas, Sterling Thomas, Khalil Dorsey and the entire secondary coaching staff.....we cleaned house.

The 27th ranked pass defense no more.

 

[Zeppelin]

You can't go wrong taking best player available.

 

[The Captain]

Massive weakness last year is now a strength. Holmes doesn’t mess around

 

[Mt. Man]

Lions picks: 1st - CB Arnold. 2nd - CB Rakestraw. 3rd - CB Carlton Davis
Can't really badmouth Brad, and can't fault him for finding last year's DB room a mess.
Now a really long wait. Wonder if 5th/6ths will produce at least once OL. Maybe WR too? Or a long shot at Edge?

Brad has ants in his pants regarding the draft. Believe he will get back in before our 5th round pick using next year’s picks

The CB position has clearly caught up with the rest of the defense. Look at the end of last season;

Puka.....9-181
Justin Jefferson.. 12-192
Justin Jefferson. 6-141
Ceedee Lamb... 13-227
Mike Evans. 8-147

That was embarrassing. I would say they addressed that.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Man talk about taking care of a position group by just flooding the roster with talent.

Think about who we play six times a year, you're gonna have to have good corners to beat GB, CHI & MIN.

Watson & Reed & a plethora of young WRs
DJ Moore & Keenan Allen + Rome Odunze
JJ & Addison

Brad is cookin'

This is like swapping out a 4 cylinder for a big block V8

When he says best player available, he means it.

I was thinking he would take a shotgun approach and go for other positions

Man has target fixation and I love it

 

[BobbyLayne]

positional villain

Brad waxing philosophical tonight:

If you draft guys with positional value but they don't contribute to your team, did you win the draft?

"We draft players. You draft the players who make us a better team. Draft this position? "

 

[Leroy Hoard]

9 picks in 2025:

• R1
• R2
• R3
• R4
• R4 PHI
• R5
• R6 TB
• R7 DAL
• R7

If you lose a round per year it seems like that 3rd could be shopped for a 4th this year. Or one of the 4ths for a 5th.

And I don't mean a 5th of tequila.

 

[Moonlight]

ESPN screen shot for the Rakestraw pick considered him to be a smart pick as there was only a 18% expectation that he would be available at pick 61.
