The un-Official non- Realistic Draft Prospects


Ohio

Recommended Posts

Ok people, there are way to many threads on here about who we might draft or who we should. Im letting y'all know who is in, and who is out. This is assuming we do NOT trade down.

The #1 overall is here - Marcel Dareus, Cam Newton, AJ Green, Patrick Peterson, Nick Fairly. These guys are the best that this draft has to offer. There is nobody else worth taking with the #1 overall.

NOT GONNA HAPPEN- Blaine Gabbert, or as I like to say Blabbert, Julio Jones, Robert Quinn, and Da'Quan Bowers. These guys are others I see mentioned but noway in hell is it going to happen.

For all the Gabbert lovers, this is a guy who threw for a pathetic 16 tds in Big12, which is a conference that does NOT play defense. He also had 9ints. He does not challenge defenses deep, and we saw how well that worked out for Clausen this year. Simply put, to borrow a phrase from Lou Holtz, "the guy is not a good quarterback". His pro-day is overrated, I could compelte 47-50 against the air.

Wow, your "official" list omits the QB a lot of pundits have rated as the number 1 QB.

Thank you for playing, fail.

Yeah how'd those same people do on Jamarcus and Ryan Leaf? You fail you pundit zombie

Better question. How did YOU rate Russell and Leaf?

Newton looks more like Leaf and Russell than Gabbert does.

You know, not that intelligent with questionable decision making skills.

IIRC Ryan Leaf and Russell went clubbin through most of their draft process. Manning, Ryan, and the good qbs did not.

Considering their expertise compared to yours it's needless to say that I, and most on here, will dismiss what you say readily and lend some credence to those who do this for a living.

Some very well respected guys have Gabbert ahead of Cam, several have Locker ahead of Cam.

I'm sure you're a legend in your own mind, but when the thread title says "official" or "realistic" and is nothing more than your unqualified opinion don't expect sympathy from anyone.

    • I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.   
    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
