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.

DETROIT LIONS DRAFT OVERVIEW- #82 OVERALL TRACEY WALKER

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”
