Kendall Wright has been graded as a first round pick for the longest, as a matter fact you can bet on cleveland taking him or another receiver with there second first round pick, they have pretty much said it out loud. Where have yall been??

Based on the old draft value charts, the Lions 1st and 2nd is only worth around the 14-15 pick. Adding their 3rd wouldnt even get them up to 12. I know many have said that those charts are obsolete but the main reason they became useless were the stupid contracts rookies were getting. With the rookie wage scale in place, the draft value chart has become relevant again and some trades last year were not only in line with it but showed that the early picks were worth MORE than what the chart said. Example, Wash. traded #16 & #48 (worth 1,410 pts combined on the chart) to the Jags for #10 (worth only 1,300 on the chart).

Per Rotoworld, Chargers are serious as well:

The Union-Tribune San Diego confirms the Chargers "continue to talk" to teams about trading up for Alabama S Mark Barron.

There hasn't been a hotter name in the hours leading up to the draft. The Bolts would have to move up at least 8-10 spots with the Bills, Cowboys, Lions, and Patriots also reported to be hot on Barron's trail. The Chargers and Patriots reportedly "love" the draft's best safety.

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
