Did not have the time to do the write-ups that I usually do with the draft being here in Detroit and with me basically blowing up my mock and starting over today (it looked very different last night). But here we go: Top Wagers:

Finishing up the State of the Roster Series with a look at the Lions front 7. The guys who control the trenches and affect the quarterback the most. *projected starters in italics *likelihoods are probabilities that they wait until that day to fill that need OFF-BALL LB Jamie Collins Jahlani Tavai Jarrad Davis Christian JonesContinue reading “2020 Detroit Lions State of the Roster: Front 7 (Pre-Draft)”
2020 Detroit Lions State of the Roster: Skill Positions (Pre-Draft)
And now, continuing my look at the Lions, we will finish the offense by moving to the less important, but glamorous skill players. *projected starters italicized TE TJ Hockenson Jesse James Isaac Nauta Roster Outlook: Above Average The Lions spent a considerable amount of resources on this group last offseason, by overpaying James and overdraftingContinue reading “2020 Detroit Lions State of the Roster: Skill Positions (Pre-Draft)”
Lions State of the Roster – 2019 NFL Draft Outlook (Offense)
Time to take a look at the Lions as they get ready for the 2019 NFL Draft. Bob Quinn and company have done a solid job in 2019 Free Agency (more on that in a later post) and are actually in a solid roster position, where they do not have to abjectly reach for need. Continue reading “Lions State of the Roster – 2019 NFL Draft Outlook (Offense)”
205th Overall – Jeremiah Ledbetter
Jeremiah Ledbetter is a guy that must have caught Bob Quinn and his staff’s eye at the combine. Because the tape I saw was not all that impressive. Still he has the physical profile to fulfill a need as the base end in our scheme (5 technique that plays just outside the edge of theContinue reading “205th Overall – Jeremiah Ledbetter”
165th Overall – Jamal Agnew
This one will be brief as I scoured the Internet and could not find any real film on Mr. Agnew. The closest I could find is this highlight film. Highlight films are not the best for evaluating a player as, naturally, it only shows a player at his best. However, I suppose it is betterContinue reading “165th Overall – Jamal Agnew”
127th Overall – Michael Roberts
The irony/riddle/enigma of the Lions selection of Michael Roberts is the eerie similarity to Brandon Pettigrew, but for the EXACT opposite reason that the casual Lions fan would think. Also, I expect Roberts to be a case study in the role of fan expectations in perceived performance. …. Also, former Toledo RB Kareem Hunt would haveContinue reading “127th Overall – Michael Roberts”
124th overall – Jalen Reeves- Maybin
Jalen … is an interesting film to evaluate. Let me just say he certainly stands out on the field. Unfortunately, that is both in a positive and a negative context. But you cannot miss him on the field, as he FLYS around. https://youtu.be/V9IaR0_n-HA https://youtu.be/281bNB4sQqs First, as always, the positives. Jalen is a converted safety andContinue reading “124th overall – Jalen Reeves- Maybin”
96th overall – Kenny Golladay
First off let me say that if this kid pans out, he’s got a badass nickname already waiting to be unleashed from his surname. Also, while watching Golladay’s film … That Northern Illinois QB is tough as nails and accurate. IDK if he has NFL talent but he could play for me any day. Anywho,Continue reading “96th overall – Kenny Golladay”
