Series Thread: 2023 Lions official draft thread

I like Hyatt a ton here, but after taking a slot RB and a pass catching TE already we can't grab a WR too. AA from Northwestern would be a good 3 technique pick here

Still love the gm. He has not picked players I wanted, but no denying he has added talent all over in the draft. He has several years of great GM work, and 1 draft I don't love.

there is no rhyme or reason for what he is doing, drinking the rat poison from the media and fucking us, if he wanted jamyr, trade back 10 spots and get him and pick up another 2nd

Yup, 1 draft I don't love. Still has years of good work.

 

[Mebert]

We traded back again

 

[elguapo]

we are cornering the market on 3rd and 4th rd picks! awesome

 

[Mebert]

Rumor is Lions are looking at Cory Trice

 

[Mebert]

Nope Hendon Hooker

 

[Thruthefog]

It sure got quiet around here.

 

[broncosmitty]

Later than I’d assumed.

Like the guy longterm.

I like it, we finally have a solid backup. Hooker is only 2 years younger than Goff, so I don't see it as qb of the future.

 

[Thruthefog]

Not a single trench player.

 

[elguapo]

Glaring weakness on both lines but let's get a backup injured qb, a 3rd running back that is same as our 2nd and a te we could have drafted at end of second.


Screw it, this is what broke me. GO CHIEFS!!

Good lord drama queen, calm down

The Lions finally have a "young" QB with high upside. And we won't rush him out there for obvious reasons.

The LaPorta pick almost made me swear in front of my kids, but the last two picks make a ton of sense.

Now let's build the trenches... After we draft Tank Dell.

 

[Mebert]

Overall I am C+ on the draft. They reached with early picks, took some good day 2. Looking at pure talent they did just fine in the draft, just bombed the need/draft slot part.

Texans took Dell with #69.

Damn it. That kid is a clone of Amon Ra.

 

[Mebert]

If the Lions trade back into the 3rd and take Dawand Jones or AA I consider this draft a high B

 

[elguapo]

wow Simpson dropped all the way to 3rd ala nakobe dean!

 

[Zwalt]

I'll be honest, I"m not thrilled. This draft has been all over the place, but there have been zero picks addressing the defensive line. That may be unforgivable.
