I’m getting a weird gut feeling that CY will be available at 3… Let’s hope!

I just hope the Lions go young with most of their picks. Notice young wasn’t capitalized. With the decent chance that we don’t see football until 2021, no need to spend a pick on a 23 year old that won’t see the field until he is 25.
Lets be honest, the Lions have a big weakness at CB, LB and DT so Okudah, Simmons and Brown would all fill big needs and the biggest need is arguably guard which will have to be filled later.
This is why I think it’s imperative for Quinn to trade back for an extra pick or two. Just too many needs and not enough high picks to fill them.
I have seen the Thuney rumour floating around for awhile now. It wouldn’t surprise me if Quinn does something very stupid. Belichick has 3 3rds and 2 4ths and 4 6ths. It will probably be 3 for 23, Thuney and a bunch of garbage. Thuney becomes leagues highest paid guard.
Thought Ted’s “Annual Den Mock Draft Contest” was the official thread. Anywho, here’s mine from that thread.
Rd. 1 = (DT) D Brown
Rd. 2 =(OLB) P Queen
Rd. 3 = (S) K Duggar
Rd. 3 =(RB) C Akers
Rd. 4 = (OT) B Bartch
Rd. 5 =(WR) Q Cephus
Rd. 5 = (OT) C Heck
Rd. 6 =(QB) A Gordon
Rd. 7 =( P ) B Mann
DT is a much bigger hole than any other position on the defense. Are the Lions not paying 2 CBs top 20 money? Lions have nothing at DT. Danny Shelton on a one year deal is nothing. I am not a huge fan of taking a DT high… but Quinn is a need base drafter and DT is clearly the highest need and it’s not close.

An abundance of needs, which reflects poorly on Quinn given his time here. I was negative the day he was hired, but hopefully he can change my thinking today and tomorrow.

Good God NOOOOO! but this does look like a BQ move. he has cap money, so this really scares me. With a high pick in round 2 you can get a Thuney way cheaper and keep your #3 pick if you want a guard that bad.

Their secondary got torched last year and they went from Slay to Trufant and Melvin to Harmon or Oruwariye. Maybe the secondary got torched due to the lack of pass rush which also wasn’t addressed so yeah, many needs.However, it’s hard to argue that DT is their weakest unit, I just think it’s a lot closer than you think.
I just thought about this, since this year there’s no live event for the draft… Does that mean no Twitter leaking the pick ahead of time? I’d assume everyone finds out at the same time now.
Neat story

You can select more than one. 
A little draft trivia for you.
Since 1970 what college program have the Lions drafted from the most?
Hint: We have taken 13 players from this program.
What’s your best guess.
I’m startin’ to dig this!

If Lions make a trade with Pats it will be a blockbusta! Does Belichick want to coach out his final years with whatever rookie QB he can get at #23?
I presume J. Simmons in the poll is I. Simmons.
I’m still thinking he’s the pick, hopefully with some added draft capital.
I think he meant JK Simmons.
