Top first rd player who falls

Who is this years first round player that is in all of the mocks that falls to the second or third round?

There is always one, who do you all think it will be this year?

My vote: Janoris Jenkins (safe pick due to character concerns but saying that I wouldnt mind if we picked him)

Vontez Burfict wont get drafted. (FIXED)

Out of shape for the combine, ran a 5.0+ 40. A known head case. I bet he is done.

I remember a WR out of Wisconsin (I think) several years ago, Martin Nance, who was not a head case but everyone (all the mocks) had a first round grade on him. He went undrafted. Signed as an Undrafted free agent and was cut. Every once in a while, there is a player we all miss on that makes the draftniks look very stupid. There is so much hearsay and passing of bad info, we get suckered.

I do not think anyone takes Burfict. You have probably hit on the best answer here, Action.

I was thinking the same thing. Someone may take a flyer on him, looked terrible at the combine, and didnt seem to care... that scares me. I def. wouldnt draft him.. but would allow him to come as UDFA

    • Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.
    • I remember when football was great.    Wasn't this century.  
    • Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
