I’m still not convinced they wont take an O-lineman.
It’s a one year tag, I’m sure he wanted more years…there’s a reason they dont want to make that commitment.
Vegas says Adian is the heavy favorite now so in my mind Willis becomes more of a option if Hutch is off the board KT and Walker are the only other options.
Wasn’t expecting it at all for a guy who has been average.
Taylor has struggled badly at RT.
I’m not either. They have a bunch of question marks along that OL.
Their likely going to lose Norwall so maybe they take an OT and play him at OG for a year.
This maybe as simple as them not wanting to start a rookie LT so their taking a 1 year rental on Cam. Will still draft a LT but play him at guard a year.
They do have a lot of question marks on that OL. This helps them solidify some of them. At least for another year.
I would take the best player in the draft over a meaningless win against a team that had zero to play for. If the Packers needed that game, Rodgers would have played more than just a half and they would have won the game. Our victory was simple a moral one and for that we get hosed out of the best player in the draft. Sign me up for a hard fought game that we lose.
We should have at least put our backup in when GB put their backup in.
I think it was Mark Dantonio that said “pride comes before the fall.”
F. my life if we take Tibbidope
I’d even prefer that guy that can’t play a lick of QB but has the Uncle Rico arm.
And most of the board would be bitching “of course the Lions get the #1 pick in the draft in a year where there is noone worth the pick!”
No matter how much we lose, it never seems to be enough. Then when we do lose “enough,” the complaint is that nobody is worth the pick. Rinse and repeat every single year.
Easy to say that this year. I mean the other leagues all have a draft lottery for a reason. Don’t tell me you would win a meaningless game if it cost you Connor McDavid.
I’d love it if ppl were willing to trade up. I’d love for our guys to be able to trade back and get a nice haul. Doesn’t have that feel to me. It’s always so interesting to watch the dominos start to fall, once picks start being made.
Dr Strange could see MANY possible ways we could win in this year’s draft. As long as they take one of those paths, I’m good. Sure would be nice if Willis was the guy…AND worked out to be amazing.
Monster pass rusher would be great.
Adding many positions that dramatically improve the team speed would be a great outcome (WR and defense).
Even an OLmen that makes the OL invincible would be a good outcome.
