People think I hate PFF because I don't regurgitate everything they put out as gospel, but they have a pretty cool draft simulator here:BobbyLayne said:
We should be used to it by now. Almost every time someone gets into the HOF they show them scoring a TD against the Lions.
I only want a crummy WR like the guys you listed if they're available at significant discount. And yes, I realize that crummy WRs are still an upgrade over the ####ty WRs currently rostered.
Not a lot of WRs on the market, I was starting to think they would only be drafting. Add someone good there and definitely a better receiver room than last year.
I was underwhelmed with AA though I think from a leadership view he’s a favorite with the staff. Walker was their top priority resigning so good sign there.
Amped about this, big physical receiver with a chip on his shoulder. When he’s healthy has been productive. Got a little to prove after the Urban head games about his work ethic.
Agree with this. A big WR that ran a 4.34 40 and had a 1000 yard season in 2019. Lots of upside at a reasonable price.
My issue with Pickett beyond the tiny hands and fumble problem (more 1 fumble every other game) is it took him 5 years post a good season. He was a pretty mediocre to bad starter in 2018, 19 and 20. He will be 24 by the time traning camp starts. I just don't see much upside with him.
Yeah Anzalone wasn't good on the field but like you said, he is a veteran leader and my guess is they hope he can mentor the younger LB group.
Great signing for both price and fit. He is exactly what the team needs. I just hope he has improved his toughness. The negative on him was mental toughness and an unwillingness to run block. Those could be issues with this current coaching staff.
Agree. Pickett reminds me of Bridgewater who also has to wear 2 pairs of gloves because of hand size. 23 year old QB blowing up in his last year is someone to be doubting.
Will be interesting to see what defense looks like after draft. Lions will be using most of their draft choices there. Odds against going QB early. Think they may be interested in a QB like Eleby or Perry in late rounds.
Bringing back a bottom rung #2 qb like Boyle makes this more possible than if they signed a more expensive guy to maybe challenge Goff for the #1 spot. Easy enough player to cut or banish to the practice squad if someone is drafted.
Woods would be an interesting reuniting with Goff. But might have to settle for a draft pick or two, not a lot on the FA market this year.
Oh yeah they are bad. That’s the funny part I suppose. Taking a WR with that early 2nd seems like a very strong option.
Half the first round may be wide receivers thanks to this off-season. I hope they are able to garner more picks by trading down from two but I am not optimistic the right deal comes along. I agree about the 4th/5th rounders, would rather have the picks.
Saleh coach of Jets says that Lions signing Davis was a good upside move.
They’ll sell you the whole seat, but you’re only gonna need…the EDGE
If they are in love with Malik Willis then it would be smart to take him. However, it seems much more likely that the Lions take a DE. I say it every year but a small trade back would be really nice this year.
I'm a big fan of them leaving the door open to the possibility that they might take Willis to improve their chances of trading down.
They don’t seem to be trying to send the message they want Willis. They weren’t one of the teams sending HC and GM or other prominent names to his pro day. Though that could be a smokescreen and they do actually want him. I just hope this is the year they can pull off a trade back.
I would be curious to see all the QBs from the last 8 years with their rankings to see how they correlate to NFL success.
Who would a team be trading up for at 2? Probably not a QB (Willis), maybe Hutchinson.
Would be Willis imo but no way the final offer comes until the Jags pick. You can’t make a big move up to 2 only for another team to jump you by trading with the Jags.
I hope someone trades for either pick. Best case would with the Lions, but consolation prize would be Hutchinson.
Great point. I think a very realistic trade for Detroit would be something with Atlanta (who can jump division rival Carolina). We send pick 2, pick 97 and pick 177 for pick 9, 43, and 2023 1st.
