1st Round, Pick 18: Lions Select Iowa LB Jack Campbell

He’s a stud. Wasn’t making it to 34. Probably higher than expected. But if we wanted him, it was the reach or nothing

Very happy here. Positional value is a guideline not a law.

Analysts are ROASTING the Lions. And I quote: “Someone needs to tell the Lions that the 2nd round starts tomorrow.”

We need talent in the linebacker room. I’m good with the pick.

The fact that TB took Kancey right after this guy is going to be interesting to look at 2-3 years down the road.

I’ll just quote me from the other thread.

I wonder were Bijin and Gonzalez the desired picks.

Campbell is a fine player, just can’t believe Brad took a Lb in the first round

LB is the weakest unit on the team. Surprising pick but one of the biggest needs we have.

I’m completely mind boggled by this draft. I don’t know what to think. Trust Brad I guess.

At least they have an extra 2nd.

Absolutely LOVE this pick!
I said before the draft started that any draft with Campbell in it is an A+.
So pumped, don’t care about the rest of the night!
We do love LB’s after all!!

Don’t listen to them. Nfl people only had about 10 players in this draft with a first round grade. If that’s true then we’ve been in the 2nd round for a while now. May as well get the player you want.

Also why spend so much on Anzolone? Couldn’t you havr added Campbell and used the cap somewhere else. Odd strategy in my opinion.

So we are going to have 5 2nd rounders?

People have been complaining for 2 years for the lions to replace AA and when they do, they still complain.
