Lions Select Slot WR Kendrick Law Kentucky #168

The Bills will not end up making back-to-back picks in the fifth round; they sent the second of that set to the Lions.

Buffalo will receive Nos. 181 and 213 from Detroit in exchange for No. 168. The Lions are taking Kentucky wide receiver Kendrick Law with the obtained choice.

I like the pick. K-Law could be our Leaf replacement.

BPA clearly. Pretty electric with the ball in his hands.

Yeah hard runner after the catch.

He will likely be a ST player this year but he’s also a gadget player type. So we could use him there some too.

This has to be strictly for kick return. Did nothing at WR over 4 years. First pick I don’t really like at all.

He’s also an excellent blocker.

The Lions must see something special here because they swapped two picks to move up to get him. I suspect they believe coaching can make him a productive player besides just kick returns.

good thing I gooned before this pick

hey ! @Bob don’t like it.

Do you know what the odds of either of those two picks making this team would have been?
Something between 0.0 and 0.5

At least this guy has a legit shot to be #5 WR and play ST

I just read he lead Kentucky in catches, yards, and TDs. Sounds like production…

He put up over 500 yards at Kentucky.
He was mainly ST at Alabama.

He has ST abilities but I think he can help us in our short passing game as a gadget receiver.

A good Lief comparison type.

A better Greg Dorch

Physically he’s Golden Tate, without the lateral juice or light feet. I think there’s a chance we should be thinking him more like an ā€œoffensive weaponā€ than a WR, he has the size to hold up in the backfield (unlike Dortch).

He’s Gibbs size coming out

He doesn’t go down as easily as Tate.

This is fine. Lions depth at WR beyond this year isn’t as deep as everyone might think.

Ran a full route tree at Kentucky. Not just a slot. a
