4th Round, Pick 126: Lions Select OT Giovanni Manu

Manu has a HS basketball background, averaged 30 PPG his senior year and that ain’t nothing to sneeze at by itself. He will be our eligible tackle and 6th lineman at a minimum. Imagine what Penei, Taylor, and Dan did on their single receptions but more frequent with a massive TE/OT.

If this draft taught me anything, it is that the team sought to fix their red zone woes and their back end woes.

Imagine being a corner or safety and this 6 foot 8, 350+ pounder is running full speed at you on a toss or screen play. Dude runs a 5 flat at 350. Good luck.

Actally, they came for both him and the right tackle, Theo Benedet.

The best thing is that we wont have to spend another first round pick on a tackle when we move on from Decker. We have managed to keep the future of our offensive line looking great for the very low price of a future 3rd round pick.

It’s all in how you look at things I guess.

Yep.

Who signed with the Bears. Should be interesting if he makes the team.

If this works out. Then Brad goes from GM rockstar to demigod.

…& listen to his retirement speech, after appearing in his 2nd or 3rd Super Bowl appearance…with tears in our eyes, as we are so proud of the growth of our 4th/5h year, but newly starting tackle…having total faith in our next super bowl that year…totally confident in his ability to step in with. no fall off.

Even he was a “5th rounder”

You gotta draft him in the 4th round to make sure you get him then

What would you politely call it???
…less handsome? Is that the politically correct, yet still accurate way to describe it?

I just call them the Midwest Tongans
