2025 Detroit Lions: 4-1 Lions win battle of the big cats. (46 Viewers)

[BobbyLayne]

B.J. Ojulari would be my pick at 2.34 but I haven't detected any pre-draft interest from Detroit.

O'Cyrus Torrence or Steve Avila?

Keeanu Benton probably won't be there at 2.48 so if you want him now is the time.

If it's Mayer or Washington I'm going on a long walk down to the waterfront.

how about LaPorta?

 

[Moonlight]

Wasn’t expecting a TE. Hopefully he can block

 

[Leroy Hoard]

They sure didn't waste any time getting that pick in.

Scary isn’t it

 

[nysfl2]

I hate this draft

 

[TartanLion]

Hmmm.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Scary isn’t it

They have a list and it's about ten names long.

 

[Da Franchise]

Why are you guys down on picking a TE? I think LaPorta looks great. Your offense is going to be incredibly fun to watch next year.

Like Campbell a team captain

The way this is going I’m about to start making my own list

 

[nysfl2]

Our offense was great last year. We need defenders.

Not sure but he's super athletic. A good pass catching weapon.

 

[Zeppelin]

Steve Avila gone to the Rams.

 

[BobbyLayne]

A TE from Iowa. What a great pick.

Wasn’t expecting a TE. Hopefully he can block

Ranked 430th amongst TEs in run blocking. If we limit to 50% of snaps, 60th. If we limit it to the 64 schools that play Power 5 football and TEs with 50% of snaps, 27th.

Wife has an interesting K-Drama on and it's too cold to walk.

True but defensive efficiency is not sticky. Offensive efficiency is and it's much more correlated with winning games. Offense is at least twice as important as defense.

He's a receiving weapon- catch and run athlete. Though again, low value position. We are surely taking a guard next with how this is going.

 

[King of the Jungle]

I would say at least we didn’t go TE in the first but we went RB. I am looking forward to being wrong about their draft…hopefully.

Is there like an anti-intellectual faction at Allen Park that has everyone convinced they should make it their personal vendetta to prove analytics wrong?

What the hell is going on??

 

[msudaisy26]

What the actual .... Is going on here?

 

[Da Guru]

I don`t like it...Looks like they are getting Hutch some white boys to hang around with.

Wow , never ever would have predicted anything close to these first 3 picks. Maybe Campbell in the second rd.

Titans must have had concern about Lions taking Levis.

Geez

I feel like Brad and Dan watched this before the draft.

It's obvious Holmes is not a fan of the defensive talent in this draft.

 

[BobbyLayne]

Mayer higher on every board I have seen.

Great receiver who had the third highest run blocking grade in 2022. Second highest receiving grade. I've literally never seen anyone try to claim LaPorta is a better prospect than Mayer.

Went off the board on the next pick.

 

[BobbyLayne]

That still doesn't explain how you take LaPorta over Mayer

Nothing makes sense

 

[Da Franchise]

The sea was angry that day, my friends! Like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.

 

[King of the Jungle]

Would have rather had Mingo over the TE. I am close to just turning this off at this point. WTH….

 

[Ilov80s]

Certainly going to be a comparison Lions fans will make for the next 3 years. Holmes taking some risks and if they don't pay off, it could be what derails the rebuild.

feels like they are literally lighting the picks on fire

Well La Porta broke TJ Hockenson’s Iowa record for broken tackles in a season by a TE

Not taking Mayer is bizarre. I assume they like the blocking TEs they have and want one who is a weapon. Lions are really prioritizing athletes in this draft. All 3 picks so far are arguably the most athletic player at their position in the draft.

ETA: And not athletic but unproven or from a small school, project, etc. These are Power 5 Athletes with production. Players who have been coached well.

 

[jon_mx]

The common denominator between all these guys is they will start Day 1. You can hate these guys and hate the strategy, but these guys will be on the field a lot making plays. They are drafting to win this year. It is very contrary to what they said their draft strategy was.

For sure that’s what it seems from the outside looking in. Lions totally unpredictable in this draft

Well said. It’s been confusing.
Again if he was their highest rated player I’ll stick with them until proven otherwise

This reminds me of my FF drafts when players I wanted kept getting picked right in front of me and I went on tilt.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Looks like we started the run on TEs.

Excellent analogy or when you draft players early due to FOMO

 

[Moonlight]

I guess that’s positive you want be at the start of the run

 

[Chaka]

Think Holmes is preparing for a post Jamo world?

Or is the offense just going to be sick (good sick)?

He's trying his best to keep Ben Johnson around.

 

[Ilov80s]

Please take more Cs and TEs, leave Detroit with some gteat options. Who is the best athlete from the SEC or Big Ten on the board?

 

[BobbyLayne]

Cornerback run starting now

[jrt103]

Brian Branch maybe?

 

[Ilov80s]

DJ Turner is possible? NW DT?
