I mean, I do think this OL class is blessed. I still need to do more work on the top of the OL class, but just seems pointless to look too far into guys like Alt and Fashanu, Latham, etc.

OK, my maybe sorta draft crush Zach Frazier had been replaced by the real thing, a late round gem that we could snag at #163OA. Dan and Brad will love the football player. He shined in the Shrine.

Yeah, that’s a football guy. I had him on my list of tape to get into after the Shrine. Thanks for posting this interview. Good stuff.
Updated.
On a side note, I no longer feel like I have too many draft crushes.
I think there is very little chance of him making it to 163 anymore. It depends how he tests of course but I’m at the point I would be surprised if he didn’t go day 2

Maybe I’m just excitable, but there are a lot of guys I’d be jumping up and down for if the Lions drafted. LOL.
Oh I get it. My list will only grow.

I’m old-school. I can only have one favorite, one draft crush.
I really only had one last year in Witherspoon and watching him get plucked from the Lions at #5 was heartbreaking. I’m spreading my love around this year.

I think it’s a little easier to focus when you have a high draft pick. I mean honestly there’s only so many ways you could go. This year it could be literally anyone except the guys at the very top. Different animal.
I like all players at the right value.
Yep. I think most crushes are for players at their current perceived value.
It’s like Jarius Monroe. He would have qualified as a crush of mine back when I thought you could get him on day 3. Now that I think he’s day 2, it’s the wrong kind of value for a crush.

We are gonna have every draft eligible dude on the list once this thread is completed lol
I’m a fan of him as well.
He might be best fit in a 3-4 like Melvin Ingram tho.
Guys like Mo, Corum, Sweat draft crush that won’t likely be our picks
I am adding Brian Thomas Jr. to my list of draft crushes. I don’t think we’ll be able to get him, but man is he a perfect fit. Guys that big shouldn’t be able to move like that. And once Brad sees blocking effort like this, he’s gonna fall hard for him too (far right yellow circle):

I move to rural Utah during the draft run up. Solves the above issue.

I think that was the one I figured out the soonest. It was too obvious. NBA 2 Guard build and he runs like that? Was kind of shocked he wasn’t on anyone’s radar at that point.
But yeah, I think he goes top 20.

Yeah you were on him real early for sure. I need to watch more live college ball outside of my rooting interests. I will say I took a page out of your book and watched Thomas’s basketball highlights… though hard not to when I read he was as highly-rated as a basketball recruit as he was for football.
Don’t know that many WRs fit this team like he does though.
