Lions Need to Trade Up for Alabama DeVonta Smith

If Resigning Jones Jr and Golladay isnt gonna happen.
Why Keep Stafford if your not keeping his guys?
"You keep Stafford because Hes a Our Baller"

Glad we have a scouting gm. should hopefully be good for drafting and finding potential in some new talent. Thats what we need new talent. Especially on defense!!
Hope we pay Jones Jr for sure
Really like Mohammad Sanu dude was a beast. Took the coaches too long to put him out. Dude got hands

Cephus unsure who I thought looked worse getting thrown in the Fire him or Okudah. The young fellas will develop I hope. Because both didnt match their grade in picks last year imo.

The running back situation
Last year I was disappointed getting rid of Bo Scarbough, was also disappointed they got rid of 5th round pick Jason Huntley before using him. A.P took both their spots. Possible future backs. We Dropped em both for A.P. A.P hes got it yet, defense never played well enough to give this man the touches he needs. He make few nice runs and get pulled or pass pass. Was weird tbh but maybe because we watched him run 30 times for 150+ yards againist Detroit for 10 years before that? lol

Swift shows flashes! Really good pick. Will win more games because of this man soon I feel like. Need someone who can help absorb the punishment behind him. Is Kerryons knee strong enough?


Defense, just blows, I hope we can afford Romeo he was a bright spot!


I wouldnt trade up for Smith, i think Chase will be the better NFL Reciever, and its possible neither will be available at 7, but i wouldnt be trading up for a wr when there are much more pressing issues with this team.
Also i wouldnt say Cephus didnt play up to his draft position, i think he did just fine with 20/349/2 as a 5th round rookie on a team with Marvin Jones, Golladay, Hockenson, and Amendola getting the majority of the looks on passing plays.

Our best bet this offseason imo is work on keeping Golladay around, even if its a franchise tag and a contract to follow, draft defense and o-line heavy with the main focus being pass rush, and dont take risks on guys like Tavai, that just play like dog shit but somehow get drafted in the 2nd round or w/e it was.

No doubt, but wasting a pick on a shit linebacker with future pro bowl receivers and rbs still on the board was a huge mistake. Of course hindsight is always 20/20 and at the time im sure they said "we got golladay and marvin jones, dont need another wr" but fuckin dk or aj brown would provide so much more value than tavai ever has regardless of our linebacker situations.
