Lions 'urged' to trade for No. 2 overall pick Chase Young

He has talent… But the effort and lack of motor does not seem like a Dan Campbell player.

I’d rather add nothing.

He does have a couple sacks and 12 qb hits which is better than anything we currently have healthy at edge… But probably not a culture fit.

I don’t know that he can pass the turd test. He takes too many plays off.

Maybe he can give good foot rubs.

Everybody needs that.

No help against run, hard pass

People always bring up “oh he sealed the NFCC with a sack on Goff”

Yea but he also let Monty walk into the endzone untouched.

So it’s a wash. Hard pass for me.

Exactly, the first time we get gashed because he gave up contain to chase a sack will be his last time on the field. He has the size and strength to set the edge. He just doesn’t want to play the run.

Yep. No turds zone!

Same. He was traded to a Super Bowl favorite last year in San Francisco. Even there he put in half assed efforts. You can see it on the field. I don’t see it being any different with us. You either have the motor or you don’t.

He is also not as good as people thought he was coming out of college. In particular he doesn’t have enough power for it to be used as a standalone weapon. That makes his lack of elite quickness/bend an issue. Any decent tackle can defend his power and speed with the same pass set. They don’t have to guess which one he’s coming with.

So my view on the DE situation is that I think we at least need a flame thrower. Okay, so Brad doesn’t want to sell the farm. I get that. It takes two to tango. But I really think we at least need a guy who can go out there on obvious passing downs and shorten the QBs time to throw. He doesn’t have to be great against the run necessarily. It probably wouldn’t take much. Like a late rounder. I have my doubts James Houston is that guy anymore.

Houston isnt that guy any more.
45 Defensive snaps.
2 pressures 2 tackles. 0 sacks.

But i absolutely could see them bringing in a Z smith a true 3 down DE AND a lower end OLB for pass downs blitzes.
