2025 Detroit Lions: 1-1 Lions vs Lamar (169 Viewers)

[BobbyLayne]

Who wants to give us a 4th for Swift?

Dallas going to target WR or TE?

Luuuuuuuke

He was fine, never struck me as a guy that would be a 2nd round pick- that's for sure

def

PFF had him as a late Day 2, in mocks you could often get him in the 4tth

 

[BobbyLayne]

Bills got sick value on this pick

 

[BobbyLayne]

Bengals gonna break some hearts

 

[Da Guru]

Find a way to complain about this one, Lions fans

• Small delay in finding first gear at the top of his drop.
• Could use tighter route squeeze relative to down and distance.
• Becomes a drag-down tackler when coming in too high.
• Occasionally outflanked as run defender from the slot.

 

[BobbyLayne]

what the hell are the Jaguars even doing?

Jax now has 61, a third, 3 fourths, 2 fifths, 3 sixths, and 2 sevenths

they know you can't roll these over, right?

 

[Zeppelin]

I won't be surprised to see the Lions trade back again. If not they really need to get a DT.

 

[Ilov80s]

Damn, Damn

The last two Lions drafts were among the top in Lions history (which is not a big bar BTW), probably in the top 3. This draft, not so much. Part of it was the talent pool, and part of it was mismanagement.

If we stayed put, the best we could have done is probably Jalen Carter and maybe Kancey or JSN. I would not be doing backflips over that. I am more excited about what Gibbs, Campbell and LaPorta can do for the team despite the analytics which say stay away from RB, LB and TE early.

 

[BobbyLayne]

wow wow wow

you know what maybe Jax shouldn't make picks after all

Eagles on the clock

 

[Ilov80s]

wow wow wow

Eagles on the clock

Ringo?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Texans traded up and took offense

LFG let's get Hutch some help

 

[jon_mx]

I for one love the Lions new draft strategy, keep trading down. The downfall seems to be, no matter how far you trade down, it is still roughly the same pile you did not want to pick from earlier.

 

[BobbyLayne]

wow wow wow

Ringo?

way way way worse

They just traded back with Denver.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Lions traded back with Denver

 

[BobbyLayne]

The Lions trade: Pick 63, 183
The Broncos trade: Pick 68, 139

 

[Ilov80s]

Would be so funny if Philly goes back to back Ringo and Darnell Washington

 

[jon_mx]

Should have stayed at 58 and picked DJ Turner. Maybe Brad can find some gems, but I know Turner is going to be a player.

 

[BobbyLayne]

I'm losing track lol

can someone please post what picks we have now?

 

[jrt103]

68, 122, 139, 152, 249

 

[BobbyLayne]

this was a half hour ago:
Round 2, Pick 63 overall
Round 4, Pick 122 overall
Round 5, Pick 152 overall
Round 5, Pick 168 overall
Round 6, Pick 183 overall
Round 7, Pick 249 overall

then

The Lions trade: Pick 63, 183
The Broncos trade: Pick 68, 139

so I think it's

• 68
• 122
• 139
• 152
• 168
• 249

Lions don’t seem to be too interested in drafting DL
Maybe they have another sleeper

Jarrod Clark Coastal Carolina would be great day 3
K.J. Henry the other Clemson ED would be nice

Kobie Turner Wake Forest should come off soonish

 

[BobbyLayne]

Eagles go offense

 

[BobbyLayne]

there's the third Illinois DB off the board

 

[Zeppelin]

This pick needs to be a DT imo.

 

[BobbyLayne]

pretty good value there for the Broncos

on the clock

 

[jrt103]

This pick needs to be a DT imo.

agreed

 

[BobbyLayne]

pick is in (I'm not peeking)

 

[Zeppelin]

Hendon Hooker...pretty good value imo.

 

[Ilov80s]

HFS! Love it

 

[jrt103]

I like it

 

[nysfl2]

Whoa - not what I was expecting, but I like it

 

[Ilov80s]

Glad we addressed QB.

 

[Ilov80s]

Glad we got him at proper value. Media was so overhyping him.

 

[Da Guru]

Glad we addressed QB.

Scott the Gator wanted him at 18.

 

[Moonlight]

Another guy coming back from a serious injury may not contribute this year and he’s old.

I guess Teddy may not be coming we are still vulnerable at backup QB this year

 

[jrt103]

just cut sudfeld for teddy

 

[Ilov80s]

just cut sudfeld for teddy

Maybe Teddy doesn't want to come here? Also Teddy is meh. Hooker has some upside. The offense was gimmicky but Hooker was going to win the Heisman before he tore his ACL

 

[jon_mx]

Hooker comes in as a rookie as the third oldest player on the roster.

He's a QB. High odds he's in the league longer than Gibbs.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Love having a backup that potentially has some amount of ability to throw the ball down the field. I like the pick regardless of his age.

Daniel Jeremiah just tweeted:

"Don't look now, but all 5 of the Lions picks have been one of my Top 50 prospects."

A guy 26 years old competing against 21 years old should have an advantage. Teddy is a very good backup and proven.

I do not recall QBs who are really old when they enter the NFL having success.

May miss training camp

I think from a consensus standpoint we added good players, just not sure about some of the selection spots. If it works nobody will care at the end of day. I was hoping we would add some more beef (oline/dline), but still some picks left. Also hoping for MI or Maryland kicker later.

Yeah, I don't particularly like Hooker as a prospect either but taking a QB in a draft is always good. There are people who think he''s got NFL caliber skills so why not give it a spin? Low chances of success but if it does work, the payoff is massive. This is the opposite of Campbell and Gibbs/. There I like the players but not the picks. With Hooker, I don't like the player but I love the pick.

 

[jon_mx]

I really like the Hooker pick. The age comment was just a humorous jab at the irony of the youngest team in the NFL drafting an older guy. Hooker has the potential to become a very good QB without it looking like we have a boot on Goff's butt. I think his maturity is a plus. An outstanding value at this range.

Lions just traded a 4th and two 5ths to move back into round 3.

Brodrick Martin, 337 pound DT. I don't know much about him but Holmes must really like him.
