I am beginning to believe we will draft Sheldon Richardson

This is not based on who I want to draft but the more I learn about Gettlemen the more I feel this will be his pick. My guess is we will keep Gross and try to shave some from his salary unless E Fisher falls which I doubt he will.

He seems to like the athletic dlinemen and Richardson or Floyd for that matter fits that mold.Another reason is this years wr class is not elite but deep, and feel we can grab an upgrade in the 2nd round .

Not that I am good at this but I did pick Luke as our number 1 pick last year based on the severity of the injury to Beason and Cam the year before.

I would be thrilled with a Richardson/Hunter or Richardson/Reid combo as long as we've added RG run stuffing Dt and some secondary help in FA.

That is kind of what I am thinking.We may pick up a guard and FS with a FA.There are really 2 elite guards this year but I do not see us using our number 1 on either.

Sheldon ain't so good against the run, maybe he can improve but I feel the need for a run plugging NT is much bigger than a gap shooter.

The problem is it takes a DT some time to physically develop in a time where we expect so much out of 1st round picks to play now coupled is most of these guys are out early.Though I believe we will draft one I am not so sure it will give us an immediate game changer or big bang for our buck this year.

I think it's an odd draft year. He may not be the best player available but I honk he will be high enough on the board so when they look at player ranking and positional need he may come out on top. I know there are questions about DT impact the first year but I think he can make an impact and can be a 3 down player on day one.

    • 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.
