This is great. Draft talk AND our lions dont suck!
I like both wr’s mentioned. Corner, WR and OL you haace to think are top priority…with a de in somewhere in those too…personally id say de is the most pressing need. But who knows, maybe they think what they got will keep improving…paschal and houston that is.
I think it would be swell if our iOL could also play tackle. Kill two birds with one stone: iOL and swing tackle. There’s a few guys like that in the draft this year. Kingsley, Fuaga, Fautanu, maybe Barton.
I obviously haven’t watched his whole career, but I don’t get why everyone is calling him a 2nd round guy all the sudden. Maybe someone can enlighten me.
Here’s my guys so far…(excluding MHJ, because obviously)
Denzel Burke
Keon Coleman
Rome Odunze
Tyliek Williams
Xavier Worthy
AD Mitchell
Leonard Taylor
James Mitchell
Don’t worry. You are like me. Its in your blood win or lose. I love the draft. November is usually around the time I start to check out mocks and player profiles. I have a lot of games saved for the offseason, but around November you start to get the lay of the land in terms of the draft.
McNeill is a bit twitchy-er in my opinion. I think Tyleik is more of an anchor against the run and has better hands than Alim does, but Alim is a better athlete. Also I think Tyleik plays bigger than Alim does.
Alim wins off of athleticism whereas Tyleik wins off of skill, if that makes any sense.
I haven’t done a super deep dive on Tyleik yet but that’s what I think I’m going to see based off of just watching the games.
I’m going to see him in person later this year…so I’m going to be scouting him heavily. Although he’ll probably be done by at least halftime against UNA.
Yeah, like I said I haven’t done a deep dive either. I just know he kinda looks like McNeil. I do wonder if our staff will go that direction since we drafted Bromart last year. I think we’ll probably be looking for a Levi/Donald type, the penetrating DT, to go with Bromart and Alim (who’d kind of in-between those two styles). Of course I could be way off.
That’s definitely more of Mike Hall, although Hall gets pushed off the ball very badly at times. He’s listed at 280, which means he’s probably playing around 265 or something like that. He’s a far better pass rusher than Tyleik is, and when he’s on the field you notice him a lot more than Tyleik, but his lack of run defense is very concerning to me. I was all on board his hype train until I watched him against Notre Dame this year.
it will prolly be a bit for me till i get into draft stuff, likely next month ill hope into it when our spot is a bit more solidified in terms of drafting
