Lions select LB Jimmy Rolder at #118

Another Michigan guy - addresses a need for LB in a pretty thin room. Possible coverage LB guy or could grow into it.

I don’t hate it but man Kyle Louis is still there…

Not a fan of this pick. Way too early.

I mean, it’s the 4th round. Clearly the NFL isn’t as high on him as the draftniks.

Seems high, but I liked him quite a bit and I know we liked him. One of the few meetings that actually leaked.

Nearly 60% of Day 3 picks aren’t on the roster of the team they are drafted by within 4 years. Almost every player taken right now is being taken too high simply by being drafted.

He spent half his career injured. Holmes just can’t help himself

Now that packers pick annoys me.

Yeah this is just a weak draft class so they all seem like reaches. Is what it is

Every draft class is weak in the 4th round - this one especially. Any expectations for any draft pick taken today should be very tempered.

I had him round 5

Josephs or Perkins could be there round 5 and if so it’s basically a moot point.

It’s impossible to predict after top100

Day 3 can be round 4 on one teams board and UDFA on other board

Checking he was actually my 3rd highest rated LB at this point and 1st was Louis who’s sort of a safety anyway, so I’m completely fine with this.

What were the injuries, do you know?

Exactly. You might as well just throw some names at a wall and pick the one who falls off it last. If any of these Day 3 picks hit - cool. If not? Oh well - that’s the expectation.

Idk much about this young man. Seems like a reach.

He has some solid coverage grades so he makes sense.
