Don't you even dare drafting Evans, he won't be off the board before that #17 pick.

He blew up at the combine. Doubt there's a chance he falls all the way to 17

I think this draft looks awesome for us--there is tons of depth at a lot of positions we have need. Also they expect 3 QBS to go in the top 10!

One of the latest mocks has us taking an OT--if Jack Matthews or Greg Robinson fell to 10.

I don't see Watkins, Clowney, or Mack being available @ 10.

That being said I'm interested in either Marqise Lee, or Evans. I really like the prospect of having Evans, another fan mentioned earlier--imagine having Calvin, Fauria, and Evans in the redzone--or just in general--In that situation--Reggie Bush could probably walk into the endzone.

I acknowledge-- OTS and DTS are the formula for success--I'd just prefer to see us take an explosive playmaker over a foundation position. Also--I'm interested in this Dri Archer for a later pick.

That being said my board would look like this

1. Khalil Mack
2. Sammy Watkins
3.Jadaveon Clowney
4. Mike Evans
5. Marqise Lee
6. Anthony Barr
7. Darqueze Dennard
8. Justin Gilbert

I'd prefer to see Pettigrew stay than to take Ebron. I think Pettigrew has a ton of potential(still)



I think Pettigrew has reached his full potential dropping passes that hit him in the hands or chest, he seems to catch more of the ones that are above his head so, I still see potential for those balls slipping through his hands as well. He blocks very well, and I love his size, but I hate how inconsistent he is at catching the ball. Maybe its just me, I didn't look up the stats, but he seems to be the biggest culprit of dropped passes for us. Maybe it's just the time in the games he does it that makes it seem that way, drops an easy pass on 3rd and 3 or whatever.

Agreed. Don't want a TE at 10 when we have such pressing needs at CB and WR
I'll happily move forward with Fauria if that means getting Dennard at 10

No you're right--he drops a ton of passes--but his blocking ability is legit. I think it's something be will continue to work on.

I read some more about dennard --I like the descriptions I've read about how physical of a player he is--that's something our secondary lacks.

I just don't want to see us take an OT... I me not saying it wouldn't be smart--it would just be uneventful

I feel as if Dennard is a little too physical off the start, and would draw some flags.

And yeah, I would not want a OT either, need some more surprise

I'm fine with either of the 4. Evans imo. With Burleson gone we might as well get a guy that is Megatron's size, let me work with Megatron and the coaches and see what becomes of him. If Broyles wasn't gettin hurt all the time I'd say Dennard or Gilbert.

Well being lions fans, we're all eternal optimists

I see good things in broyles future.

I'd still rather have more depth at wideout.

But I love Khalil Mack

I would be extremely disappointed in an OT when Reiff and Waddle played great last year

My top 8:
1) Jadaveon Clowney
2) Khalil Mack
3) Sammy Watkins
4) Anthony Barr
5) Darqueze Dennard
6) Mike Evans
7) Justin Gilbert
8) Eric Ebron

Were expected to land 5, 6, or 7 on that list but if we grab one of the top 4, my God that would be incredible for us
