Tell that to my fantasy team that was killing it in December with Sony last December! But I agree, Stafford kinda sucks when he passes all the time… Look at his 14 year career, when he has a rushing attack, he’s an elite QB. When he doesn’t, oops it’s hard to watch.
Then there’s this…
" The drop from Whitworth to Joe Noteboom at left tackle has been apparent. According to Pro Football Focus, Noteboom had two separate games with at least eight pressures allowed entering Week 5."
You just know TE and OL will be taken with 2 of the Lions first 4 picks…and an RB and/or WR in the 4th/5th rd for good measure. When asked after the draft why he went with so many offensive players, especiallly with having a historically bad defense, Brad says “We went into this draft really liking our guys on defense and think they’re close, just needed to add a couple pieces”
Well, it’s looking like we need to add a guard and a running back. Big V probably needs to be replaced and Swift cannot be relied upon to stay healthy.
The lack of success in drafting on the D is slowing this rebuild. Many of us said we wanted a DT early in the last draft — the need for a top flight DT has become a screaming need. The need for a top flight CB has become a screaming need as well. We can still say we need players everywhere on defense.
The big $ FA addition this offseason must be on the defensive side no?
It will be amusing when the Lions let JWill go and sign Saquon Barkely to a huge contract then draft an RB in the 1st 4 rds…all while indeed signing a couple busted out D players a’la Brockers and/or some other team’s 2nd/3rd string guys.
