I almost made a thread about this but about UDFA.
We are now the cool kids in town. Kids want to play for us. Do you purposely let a massive need or two slip by until IDFA signings knowing that big cash plus opportunity plus playing for Dan will help us out recruit other franchises.
“A CB that can’t cover?” You’re just making things up at this point.
Come on Brad…Work a trade for Will Harris…
This is is killer draft by Brad. Rakestraw had a late 1st, early 2nd round grade and he gets him at 61. Added to Arnold, with the earlier additions makes the Lions Defense solid on all three levels.
I think we might be done for the day. I don’t see Brad moving up again.
This is BPA… what i thought you guys liked BPA!
I can already hear the complaints about holding penalties on the Lions.
Rakestraw allowed QBs to have a sky high QBR when he was targeted, that’s what he’s referencing. One of the worst in the draft.
I’m not sure of the efficacy of the metric, though, even though it seems like it should be obvious. Would like to see how it performs historically.
I’m expecting Rakestraw and Branch to split nickel duties with Branch also playing safety. CD, Amik, Mosely, and Arnold will play outside.
Hate is a strong word, except when you’re talking about Bullard
Weird. PFF said 85.8 coverage grade.
Detroit fans: Our terrible secondary is the reason we lost the NFC championship!
Brad Holmes: Okay, I will go ahead and address that in free agency and the draft.
Detroit Fans:
Also gotta think Brad didnt know we would be in the position to actually draft these two guys with our first two picks, so had to make sure we had another legit starter at CB this year.
I expect brad to trade a future pick for a 3rd or a 4th or both… i cant see him waiting 2 whole rds.
Team updated in the offseason.
Do we want it to be efficacious? If so it is. If not it’s not. That’s the general rule.
