The draft is going to be very important...

Did I say we did? I think we have a 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th. I know we traded a 5th and 6th for Leonard and Tyler...the extra 6th came from the trade with Oakland last year to move back in the 7th and pick up munnerlyn. If I'm missing something someone please let me know.

Besides that I think the DT class is too deep to pass up...I would love either geno atkins or lamar Houston in the second. But then we have to address WR and DE later in the draft. We could bring back brayton and I think I saw a thread about maybe Brock. But we won't make a big splash in free agency.

I really like the potential in the younger guys who will be stepping up...but for every guy that steps up leaves an open area behind him, like the situation at LB, DE, OG, and QB. We have to bring in some guys to be backups or even push the starters...a few injuries would devastate this team right now. I know there is a long way to go but I would consider the possibility of moving back in the 2nd and grabbing up some more picks.

is that you Captain?

We've got to use the first pick for a WR, Jarrett isn't the answer for a 2, he will make a nice 3 though. Got to get someone that can catch 50-60 balls this year or all the cuts were for naught and this team will still have the same weaknesses that it's had for the past few years.

    • Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.  
    • I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......  
    • Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
