Anyone an ESPN insider? I'm interested in who McShay has us picking in his Mock 3.0. ***Beware the Lions***

I am sitting here contemplating reinstating my ESPN Mag account to become an Insider again. But I still have probably a half dozen Mags that I haven't read. Anyway...anyone know who McShay has us taking?  I may not know who he has mocked to us, but I can tell you that he has Mike Evans going to the Lions. The Lions.

 

Imagine: Calvin Jonson  split right, Mike Evans split left, and 6'6" Kris Durham in the slot.  

 

If you want to take it a step further...imagine Cap or White...

 

Whoa!

Detroits economy should be booming in no time now that they've successfully cloned a 6'5" WR

So Stafford will have Evans and Megatron.

 

 

Dear God can you imagine.

 

And don't underestimate Kris Durham in the middle probably devouring the leftovers. 

 

And we may re-sign Munnerlyn, and we're bringing in Jason Verrett.  I don't really want Munchkins book-ending our backfield. Perhaps Munnerlyn would be the Nickel guy, but so what in that type of scenario.

 

I don't know how I feel about Brandon Browner, but he is on the radar.  Hopefully Melvin White makes a leap in the off-season. I just don't know about anyone else.  Perhaps we can get McGill or Jean-Baptiste in the draft. Just thinking of us dealing with the Bears and the Evans-empowered-Lions gives me some anxiety.  At this point, our pass rush would be our only saving grace.

If a no2 wr is that big of a problem in Detroit, why not just go sign Nicks?

WR is not the problem. How can you not win games with probably the all time no2 best receiver to ever play this game?

Detroit's problem is defense and not being balanced enough offensively.

Passing league this, passing league that. Cut that crap out. At the end of the day, the teams that can run the ball (balanced offense) and plays defense win.

I fundamentally agree with you, but the Lions figure that they have enough to push the envelope right now.  They hired what many people consider to be a solid, if not good, coach.  They have a solid defense, but for some weaknesses in the secondary.  CC, they think that they can win NOW, and with the pieces that they have in place they could be right.  If Evans is still sitting their at number 10, and you know that you already have Stafford, Megatron and Bush locked up for a few years---and you can add another potential 6'5" beast into the mix---then picking Evans becomes real easy.

I know right? That's a beast of a line up. Don't forget they have rookie 6'7" Joseph Fauria as a weapon as well.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.

      Self described anti-Bryce dude wants us to fail to take a major step forward     Yeah that lines up.
