I’m not going to complain about any defensive help but am bummed Gonzalez was gone. Had a moment of terror when they showed Levis.

I'm surprised but I like what the Lions are doing. I also like that brad dunked on all the nerds who do mocks all day and talk about positional value and how you can't draft RBs at all. Like that nerd Reisman.

Everything I'm hearing is that these are very good players, followed by kvetching about where they were picked and all I can say to that is WHO FUCKIN' CARES? Good players are good players. Don't gently caress around, go get 'em.

LET'S EAT SOME loving KNEES BITCH.

unless the lions pick means they get rid of Justin Jackson The Ball Carrier then they can go to Hell (unless JJTBC ends up on the bears, then i will die)

Noted Has Won A NFL Playoff Game or Even Made The Playoffs person Brad Holmes lecturing the rest of the nfl on draft value is loving hilarious. I mean, it'd be fun for him to dunk on everyone I guess but the recent history of first round RBs and off ball LBs isnt good!!!

Mock drafts are where I can clearly see that all sports journalists are guessing and just pick who they like, regardless of if they fit the team. If we had an NFC North Thread mock draft it would be just as reliable and just as terrible.

I don't see what is cocky about drafting players you want and making the very obvious statement that online mock drafts are stupid.

Yeah I mean I don't mind them taking a RB in the first, but it seems like the RB they took would have still been available later, on top of the fact they seem pretty set at RB. Guess that's my hang up here but all said and done I'll trust Holmes more than my own rear end for sure. 100% would trust myself over, like, the previous past 20 years of the Lions braintrust too.

Other than there is no guarantee that he'd be there. Bijan went higher than mocks predicted, and the Lions don't like Swift.

I was kinda shocked they traded Hockensen instead of Swift last season. It worked out, but it was still a very big “Huh?!” Kind of moment.

Todd Gurley is the only RB that Les Snead ever drafted in the 1st round and he's never drafted a ILB but sure.

ok i've been reading up on Wright and i'm getting hype for this dude to whip some rear end. looks like the guy they told us teven jenkins was without the crippling back injury. would've preferred skoronski but that's because i'm an insane northwestern homer and i desperately need another northwestern guy on the bears since they got rid of sherrick mcmanis. i really want them to get adebawore but he won't be there at the end of the second, but if they pick up Evan Hull as a 7th rounder or UDFA i'll be thrilled.

Dude the Lions could've had Gonzalez and Cancey, or Van Ness or Nolan Smith. Htf can Holmes lose my trust so loving quickly. He's pounding the table for someone who might've been picked in the late 20s and you got him at 12. gently caress right off. Then Campbell who we could've got with the pick we got for trading down?! Why were we happy for the Rams sucking?

Ride him out and draft a RB next year, unless you really believe Gibbs is the guy. I guess to drill down to it, they score enough points already - it would be nice if they could stop the other team from scoring more. And maybe having a stud in the backfield and a new LB will help with that! In conclusion, the Lions are winning the superbowl.
