In this time of Covid-19 a sweet distraction
The NFL draft starts tonight. And even though the format will be far different I for one am ecstatic to watch it.

I'm looking forward to it too. It's sports-adjacent anyway. I can't wait to find out how the Lions will blow this one.

Re: In this time of Covid-19 a sweet distraction
in my view the Lions would be best served by trading down to the 5 spot with Miami. They should still be able to get Jeff Okudah there and with the extra pick(s) they might get from the trade focus on the secondary some more as well as the O-line and the WR slot.

The WR spot is LOADED like I've never seen it loaded before. Some nice RB's like Swift and Clyde Edwards-Helaire,Jonathan Taylor or Dobbins could be really productive as rookies.lust4beer wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:44 pmLots of fantasy talent in this draftDallasDimeBags wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:33 pmThe NFL draft starts tonight.

I've been saying the same thing. If the trade isn't there then hopefully Chase Young is. If he isn't I wouldn't mind taking a flier on Tua, but ownership probably won't allow them to put pressure on Stafford like that.DallasDimeBags wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:48 pmin my view the Lions would be best served by trading down to the 5 spot with Miami.

Without a physical by your own doctors Tua is far to risky a pick that high. Young is going #2 to the Redskins.Evil wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:53 pmI've been saying the same thing.

Re: In this time of Covid-19 a sweet distraction
Getting Chase Young in the 3 hole would be a steal of mammoth proportions in my view as I view him being the top overall taken in the draft. I am pretty sure he goes second overall. Tua seems like a terrific young man and is a very accurate passer and a true warrior as the LSU game clearly showed but his injuries would put me off taking him in the top 5.Evil wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:53 pmI've been saying the same thing.

Tua is pretty brittle. His best bet is the Chargers where he can apprentice behind Tyrod for a year like Mahomes did as a rookie.DallasDimeBags wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:57 pmGetting Chase Young in the 3 hole would be a steal of mammoth proportions in my view as I view him being the top overall taken in the draft.

I don't expect him to be there, but if he is... I see more value with Derrick Brown than Okudah, but either would be a good pick.DallasDimeBags wrote: ↑Thu Apr 23, 2020 1:57 pmGetting Chase Young in the 3 hole would be a steal of mammoth proportions in my view as I view him being the top overall taken in the draft.
