Dan Orlovsky is sitting there mezmorized because his favorite team is getting praise in front of his eyes, and they're talking about them on national television. You love to see it.
Detroit 🦁🔥
Facts upon facts. My man’s eyes were glistening with pride like a parent in the first day of kindergarten. 😂I’m here for it.
Cmon Jacob everybody knows Dan’s favorite team is the Eagles 🦅
Dans fav team is the colts😂
@Bigmacstacks Right! He just blew Stafford during his time like his name was Kelly.
I been a lions fan since I was a little dude. They've never been taken seriously in my lifetime, and to see the lions being talked about in this way is surreal
Yes. It feels heartwarming in a good but awkward way.
There are dozens of us! DOZENS!!! Cheers, fellow lifer! Let's enjoy the ride, shall we?!
THATS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU EAT KNEE CAPS FOR BREAKFAST AND PISS EXCELLENCE BABY. There's a new king of the North.
@@croc313 i gotta be honest, I still can’t fully trust them. I pray to god they dont fuck it up but thats sll Detroit has done.
Ima tell you rn! They are my favorite team to watch bro every-time there on TV THEY PLAY HARD ! all the way from h-town
I'm pretty sure that ESPN saying something positive about a Detroit team is one of the signs of the apocalypse.
I just hope that the sky doesn't split open in the east and the trumpets sound with the Lions leading by 14 in the final minute of the Super Bowl. I'm gonna be pretty pissed at Jesus if that happens.
@@jetsamperes5762 J... You can't wait 5 minutes.
Be a bro.
@@jetsamperes5762 the universe might simply collapse into a singularity if that happens lol. The Lions winning the Super Bowl is sort of like dividing by zero, the world simply explodes.
If you removed where they were drafted, the Lions had a stellar draft. So many dudes that will be instant impact starters and should be here for years to come!
Exactly - look at who the player is, the character of the player, the knee biting potential not what spot they were taken. They had a list of guys and got most of them - regardless of where the fact is they got them.
Gibbs is going to be a star right off the bat. Dudes gonna be a game changer with his speed and shiftyness. Can't imagine what the offense is gonna accomplish when him and jamo are both out there together. That's a lot of speed to cover. Oh and st brown is going to continue to shake dudes all year. Should be a top 3 offense, possibly number 1 overall. See no reason they shouldn't average over 30.
Yeah, when people understood the swift situation this made perfect sense. I’m glad Keizer gave them a low grade. The dude is a clown who is constantly wrong.
During the draft it the picks were really perplexing. But at the end of it all every single guy we picked has potential to be a day 1 contributor. If that's not what you want from the draft idk what you want.
@@playdiscgolf1546 yeah I’ve seen many non lions not understand that Swift hasn’t been good for us. He has so much potential, hopefully a change of scene does him well.
I am a Bear Fan but I’ve always liked the Lions to. They have cool uniforms and I wish we had a dome like the Lions do. I loved seeing them taking the Packers down and out of the play offs last year. They should win the division this year.
Bears have way cooler uniforms
not at all, i see detroit taking a step back this year this draft didn't make them any better than last year VIKINGS own that division.
@@markfennell1604 Not at all. Detroit's draft was really good. It just wasn't what the "experts" thought we should pick. Only thing that will cause Detroit to take a step back from last year are injuries.
@@markfennell1604 The same Vikings that only won one game over 7 points lmao. We owned you guys both games last year too. Just gave away the first one
@@markfennell1604 how did we get worse we improved our secondary an improved our running game an drafted a QB that was supposed to be a first rounder if not for injuries please give me insight on how they are worse
Our Draft class is the type of class that may seem confusing in the moment but will age really well.
Feel that too
As a Lioness. Always stand at side. Fight with. Protect. Defend
what the hell r u on about
lol Wut the heck
@@Blizznor 😂😂😂
I totally agree with Dan and swagu here they are spot on. The Detroit lions had a hell of a draft.
2 RB at 12?
i disagree with both of them. Detroit over reach for both of their first round picks. LBs and RBs aren't a high value picks in the NFL and the lions reached to grab both.
@@markfennell1604 hey buddy don't let the rear tire run you over while jumping off the wagon
Nah they should've drafted d-line to help aidan, pass rush wins superbowls not a dam rb at 12 who most likey won't even get a 2nd contract if hes good
@@markfennell1604 facts
How many home runs does Brad Holmes have to hit before people stop being surprised at his success? Lions coming for the North, you ready?
#DetroitVsEverybody
I hope so man. Don’t jump the gun yet. We’re still waiting on Jamo to be available
It's gonna be Bears and Lions duking it out. They both have good regimes and a lot of young talent. The Vikes are pretenders and GB bout to fall tf off
my Lions had a fantastic draft all these guys are going to help us idc about the critics
🥹 IT BEEN A LONGGGGG TIME COMING! Brad Holmes is BY FAR the best Lions GM EVER
idk how Brad can say it any clearer. these are players that will help them win games
Her kombucha reaction was one of the best analogies I’ve ever heard. That was perfect.
What Holmes and Lions did, was shun all the so called " mock experts", who are mostly wrong year after year anyway and found gems those fit there culture, attitude and NFC style of play: versatile, football intelligence loaded, tough minded, run heavy football!! Watch out for these Lions! They will be in Superbowl this year with Gibbs, Campbell, Branch and Laporta out performing all other rookies at their positions and already a grit and character infused team ready to pounce anyone in their way and hungry for the ultimate!!!
you're 60 minutes from being right, that prediction is already great
Lions looking pretty solid.
Well see...👍🏽
Alot of us in the 313 was mad at first now we're like damn we some killers
Brian branch is the best pick up, dudes a beast
Back in March Emory Hunt rated Gibbs higher than Robinson. Hunt gave Gibbs a 90 and compared him to The Saints RB Alvin Kamara. We know that HC Dan Campbell came from The Saints and knows how important a RB that can catch the football. Gibbs had 43 catches last year. By trading down to get him got The Lions another good pick. With the resurgence of QB Jared Goff , drafting QB Hendon Hooker was perfect at that spot. This gives him a year or two to learn and fully heal. The Lions are building the roster the right way. Through the draft and an occasional FA addition. The Lions scored when they hired Chris Speilman, GM Brad Holmes and HC Dan Campbell. I'm proud today to be a Lions fan. It's been decades since I have been able to say that.
Dan always has the goofiest look when he's not talking 🤨😁 313👍🏼❤️
As I'm writing this a week before the 2024 draft here in the city, let's see how this one panned out . . . Probowl RB, a soon to be starting LB for the next decade, The 2nd best TE in all of football as a rookie, & a future defensive player of the Year caliber safety. Such a terrible draft, reminds me of Millen LOL
I think BH categorized Jahmyr perfectly, "Not a "RB", an "offensive weapon". Not a fan of Bama so rarely watched them but when i saw this guy's highlights from there and GT, the comparisons to Kamara, Deebo, even Christian were more relevant. Can't wait to see what "Magician Ben" cooks up for him!
Orlovsky always holding down the fort as the Lions guy! Much appreciation
Yeah I mean the order was odd but they addressed the areas they needed. They needed to draft a TE, a DB, and a Linebacker and they got three solid players at each position. Now, they probably need to go out and sign Frank Clark or another pass rusher for me to feel comfortable but they have the cap space to do it.
One pride!!
Detroit is both a pass or run team now. While Gibbs will be used like Debo he’ll also be a running back especially on 1st downs. Detroit uses rb by committee because Goff is strictly a play action pass qb. Swift was a liability to the whole offense! I saw this before FA and was told i didn’t know shit about football when I said we’d take a rb with the first pick trading back. Brad did a great job keeping this huge need a secret. Had Dallas knew they would have traded up to grab him and maybe a few others.
Just say this
-
I’ve been a Lion Fan sence
1968!
-
This I’m telling you in two years
-
THIS DRAFT WILL PRODUCE 3-4 PRO BOWLERS!!
I like the last 3 picks more than the first 2 because of the value of the picks
I think the Lions draft board was as follows Witherspoon at 6 and Gibbs at 18 and Campbell with the 3rd pick in the second. They tried there best to trade down and get those players in that order. I think getting Branch in the 2nd is just as good. I dont know if taking Laporta over Mayer was better but we will have to see this coming season. Thats my take.
I loved the Gibbs pick!!!
Have to agree, Lion should win their division this year and may be good enough to get to a championship game. You could see them start to gel at the end of 22 season.
as a lions fan we gotta grind it out and earn it and not give in to the hype.
Lions getting mocked for their picks. Yea. Well wait till they beat the piss out of everyone in the nfc. I’m a Steeler fan and I’m rooting for them, but only because they are underdogs, but because they picked really good players. People are just insanely stupid.
People saying Jack Campbell can't defend the pass, but PFF (for what it's worth) graded him at about a 92 or something in pass defense, and he's had 5 INTs at Iowa. No, he's not Derrick Brooks in quickness but he's more like a better version of Leighton Vander Esch or perhaps a Brian Urlacher type, for the sake of comparison.
I wish the lions would've focused more on defense than they did but it was a pretty solid draft in my opinion
They have the youngest defense in the league. They don't need to draft players, they need to mature with the ones they already have. Don't forget about the Mosely and Gardner-Johnson moves either.
They addressed most of that in Free Agency already.
We drafted Campbell an branch those guys will be solid mark my words lions about to be scary good
@@AlphabetAnthony nah not really..
@@pv2xeek I care more about needs and performance over age 🤷🏿♂️, and going into the draft the lions biggest needs were on the defensive line, linebacker, and Cornerback.. They got a linebacker which is great, but they didn't address the defensive line until basically the 4th round, and they didn't address the cornerback position at all.. It would've been nice to add more defensive depth
Dan Campbell and Brad Holmes are the NFL Herb Brooks
Lions were getting a lot of criticism early on for this draft but now everyone is flipping. I get it, it's not what we expected but we should have known when Holmes said, he didn't think the shelf was that bare on defense, then later, they hadn't even got to evaluating the defensive line prospects. It just wasn't a top priority likle we thought. Don't forget, we brought a lot of those guys back and we have some young guys like Paschal, Houston, and Hutch who are just going to get better. The line was pretty good and I think they had some guys on their board that were just gone. Gibbs is going to be huge upgrade over Swift. Not only is he better but he's had a fairly healthy career not missing many games like Swift. The impact of Jack Cambell is going to be huge. Just because he's a linebacker, don't underestimate how much he's going to make a difference at a position of need, probably moreso then the defensive line that did a good job getting pressure on the QB when healthy. And the secondary got a huge upgrade in free agency. We got a couple of good defensive players that were not even a available like Walker and Levi if they come back full strength. I do wish we could have gotten some good defensive and offensive linemen earlier but they picked BPA for the impact they thought would improve this team and just because it's not who everyone thought, doesn't mean it was. They know what they need. Remember the difference Gurly made for Goff with the Rams. We need a strong running game because Goff is a pure pocket passer and we also need guys like Gibbs and a good tight end whom give Goff more options to pass to and they did that. Gibbs is our Gurly and this offense is going to be so dynamic, especially when Jamo gets back and that wasn't Brad and Fans fault. They got the guys that were available they wanted according to their draft board that would make an impact on this team just like they should have. Only time will tell if they were right, not Mel Kipers or my draft board but Brad, Dan, and the Detroit Lions draft board but the last two years they've done a damn good job so let's wait and see and I have a feeling they are going to be just fine
This Draft was for the Dynasty! We hit it hard on different groups! We are a playoff team before the Draft! After the Draft the Dynasty is set! Extend Goff let our future QB set and learn easy transition like Joe Montana to Steve Young! Facts!!!! Superbowl or Bust 2023 season! Yep! I said it! Let's Go! Boot Up! Go Lions!🦁🔥💪 Superbowl Champions! Facts!🙌
FORWARD DOWN THE FIELD!
The Lions drafted according to their culture and identity. Everyone who disliked (myself included) their early round picks were thinking of their preference or the common ideal draft selections. After a couple of days, I realized how well these players adds to the culture and identity of the Lions.
You don't draft for the fans or other teams expectations and identity. You build your own and gain success overtime, then those other teams will draft to mimic your identity.
man, they put a war room video on their YT channel... the conviction and steadiness of this front office is out of the ordinary.
After their 4th pick Dan said "we drafted four starters"
Lions did great. They took who they wanted and who they needed. Got the #1 and #2 available in RB, LB, and TE. Even got a high-end QB too. What's not to like?
It's gonna come down to Goff. They have everything else in place. In NFC, he's good enough to win it. I just don't know if he will ultimately be enough to beat AFC team in SB. He's good, not great. Prob about 10-15th best QB. I like Hooker pick for that reason. They didn't invest a 1st/high 2nd in a QB to push Goff out the door. Hooker went 3rd Rd. It's his job to lose, but you have someone behind him who prob can be a starter. He's also older, so he can step in and compete immediately if Goff falters.
10-15th? Goff was statistically a top 6 quarterback last season, he’s very slept on , they just need a defense
Dude ur a complete Moran. Goff will be here for yrs to come. 10-15? Ok I want what ur smokin watch the tape please and don’t waste our time with this bullshit narrative. Thank you
@@Elusivve I like Goff..I mean that as a compliment. Imo Mahomes, Burrow, Allen, Lawrence, Rodgers, Hurts, Watson at 100%, Jackson, Herbert are better overall. That's 9 right there
@@brooksorlando4881 a old Rodgers and Watson is not better , Watson hasn’t been great in a long time. Lawrence is great but he did get outplayed by Goff
Whenever I Drafted on madden with a downloaded roster I had to select branch 1st
Lions are still in rebuild mode believe it or not but we are moving very fast if I say so
The rebuild is over dude 😂😂
@@solomo3456nah, one more solid draft
@@squidbuck9209 we literally fav to win the division this year 🤡🤡😂😂😂
People been saying “I didn’t see a RB linked to the lions” but a RB pick makes a lot of sense for them. They need to take one every 2/3 years honestly
Go Lions!!!
Huge Lions fan let’s go super pump
We now have Adrian Martinez also
Anyone who thinks Jack Campbell can't cover did not watch his tape thoroughly 🤔...He is really good at everything not ELITE but really good at everything...The BIG10 is predom a running conference so he has more downhill tape but there were many times he dropped back effortlessly with fluidity and no waste of movement.
It seems Jared Goff has this luck charm , whatever team he’s in they’re automatically contenders, both rams and lions were terrible , bottom teams for years before Goff came along, I call it the Goff effect
Thank you someone see it’s clearly.
Gibbs is a tenacious runner. More explosive and stronger than Swift. Ridiculous burst, has another gear that a lot of guys don't have. Best hands at the position in this draft and better than Swift again. Doesn’t run scared. I expect Gibbs to be a huge part of Johnson's offense, and when both he and Jamo are on the field, they will have two guys that can take it to the house from anywhere. With LaPorta and ARSB going over the middle, they have weapons at every level of the offense. On top of that, they've added playmakers at every level of the defense starting with Hutch, everything they did in FA, and now with Campbell and Branch. Upgrading positions with guys that have an incredibly high probability of not just being starters, but cornerstone guys. Everyone wanted a LB and we got the best one, all I hear is crying. I expect this team to be dangerous and in no small part because of the guys they drafted this year.
Good "takes" Weep & I'll add that they (basically) UPGRADED the RB Tandem from
the "B Grade" Tandem (Swift/Williams) to a Younger "A Grade" Combo (Gibbs/Montgomery) going forward!🍻🔥
@@Slamit88 thanks! yeah I mean this is more or less what Holmes said he wanted to do when he came in right? Get playmakers, guys that have high compete level, guys that want to impose their will. Campbell has a nose for the ball and he'll definitely be looking to force some turnovers in the middle of that defense. I know people don't place "high value" on these positions but a stud LB is invaluable in the middle of the D and these guys don't grow on trees, especially when you talk about the size paired with the athleticism of Campbell. He projects very very well. Thin draft at the positions these mock draft guys place high value on. Got yourself a handful of starters to round out your weakest points, and again the intangibles these guys have project very well at the NFL level. And like you said, the RB room is an entirely different animal now than it was a year ago, and they also picked up Mo Ibrahim as a UDFA. Gives you another option for a goal line banger. Holmes has done a lot of work in the off-season to significantly upgrade our weakest spots, and the loss of Jamo for 6 games shouldn't be as brutal as it would had they not picked up Gibbs and LaPorta. Top 5 offense last year, could be top 3 this year and I feel like that defense has been shored up in the weakest areas to where the DL got help by adding to the secondary and getting a big athletic LB to make plays at the second level if the DL gets beat. Too much negativity surrounding this draft. This team on paper got way way better in the off-season. How it translates to the field remains to be seen but I don't think anyone will be mad at this draft by the end of the season.
@@Weeping_Somnambulist Agree (re: Draft Approval).....& AGREE on MUCH of your writ here......I rate it a B+ overall (Would've been an "A" w/Carter of course, but pls/believe BH & MCDC KNOW a Heck of A LOT MORE than us "Punter's" huh!!??).....Should be a FUN/COMPETITIVE Each Game Season (FINALLY!!) for us Loooonnnnnggggg Timer's...."Stay in Touch' Amigo!!
~EW👊🍻
Campbell's gonna be better in coverage than people think. He has 4 picks last yr
Jack Campbell was the highest rated linebacker in pass defense. I think Dan said it backwards? He needs to be more stout in the run game if anything.
After how last year's draft class panned out why would anyone be surprised they did well? I trust the system.
The narrative is sounding good for the Lions in the next year or so. I think the Roger “McMahon” Goodell might allow the Lions to do something.
Ive been saying this. The Patriots always their guys. The Steelers always draft their guys. The Ravens always draft their guys. The Lions finally have a culture so they're going to draft their guys.
agreed, terrible draft value but if you took away the numbers and look at the players drafted...it looks good
Yeah. It’s not analytically ‘correct’ but they added three starters and a future starter in Branch. And possibly a QB on a rookie deal to replace Goff when they start paying these other dudes.
They are ultimately a better team in 2023 because of this draft even though it was certainly not what I was anticipating.
Why surprisingly? Brad Holmes has had great drafts ever since he became the GM.
Don’t let them know that 😅
like what do they think, Holmes has been spending the last 12 months eat lead paint chips
We didn’t need DE unless it was someone special. Anderson was gone and wilson had medical red flags.
We have some young d-linemen with a lot of upside, i think they have faith in them.
We do need DT but once they decided to pass on carter there really wasn’t great options. Bresee isn’t a great prospect and 12 is early for a mazi smith.
People act like there was all these obvious choices. This draft was weak in our areas of need on defense
I have the same amount of qualifications to be an ESPN NFL Analyst as Mina Kimes: zero
I'm a doubt that a lil 😅
It's not RB themselves that are not valuable anymore, the game has evolved to rewarding RB's w multiple skill sets and versatility.
Not a true cover linebacker ? He had the highest coverage grade of all linebackers last year
lions first 4 picks can all start!
Cool
Seattle drafted 2 RBs to add to their rookie of the year RB. These GMs/Coaches aren't stupid. Mel Kiper hasn't learned any lesson.
It's coming
We coming baby….roar is getting louder
We could have had Will Anderson at 3 if we give up 6 & 18. Would you rather have Anderson or Gibbs & Campbell?
Did you leave out what else we got from moving from 6 to 12 on purpose so that your comment would sound better if to no one else but you?
Gibbs, Campbell and Laporta. They didn't have that pick before trading out of 6. That's 3 starters vs 1.
Anderson isn't that good
Gibbs and Campbell. No way moving up 3 spots was worth two first round picks in this draft.
How is taking a Rb that high a great move??
When you had swift under contract for one more year
I mean if they picked Jalen Carter I would understand
Swift is broken and has been
@@adamioppolo1884 Was never healthy a full year, he definitely was broken.
They told Swift in training camp he needed to learn the difference between being injured and being sore. He didn't listen. Great talent when he wants to be - but he rarely wants to be. So go get someone with heart and passion for your team and cut the glass onion loose.
Wonder if the Henry to Eagles rumours will die now lol.
1) you can’t grade the draft since none of the players have played
2) Mel kiper’s *guesses* are not gospel
Never would I thought, I would see my dumpsters fire teams and actually have faith in them.
With aaron out of the nfc north, the Lions have to win the division this year
Lmao first time I've heard this everyone been saying they reached a lot for first 2 picks
I think it's the totality of the draft. I don't really have a problem with what they did. Continuing to add playmakers at all lvls. They obviously didn't value a lot of the DL guys in this draft. You have to hit on these picks, can't be guys with high bust potential, guys they don't like, guys they don't have a vision for in their schemes. Carter was never gonna be the pick. If a player helps you immediately you take him, and Campbell is a freak and projects to be a 10 yr starter and probably an all pro at a position that needs an upgrade. Going into the season with AA, Barnes and Rodrigo is not any kind of long term solution. These guys were not making it out of the first rd no matter what Kiper and McShay and Brugler say. They aren't NFL GMs last time I checked.
Look at us now..5-1 and about to whoop on Lamar Sunday 💪
Nah most of Detroit cats had a very good idea that we where going to get a WR. Swiss Knife. Brad Holmes love’s multi purpose players.
I meant to say RB. Gibbs is such a great wide receiver I wrote it wrong. JG can do it all
I think it could have been much better had Seattle not taken Witherspoon.
Why are we saying surprisingly well like they haven’t had 2 other great drafts before this.
Campbell isn't a true cover LB? Interesting considering he had the highest coverage grade in all power 5 conferences for LB's LOL
"ItS a ReAcH" yeah well it just netted is two starters at positions we could get better lmao sometimes it ain't about the name 🤷
Mel Kiper gets an F.
“SURPRISINGLY" well? Their last two drafts been great. Shows how much these "analysts" pay attention.
Campbell not a true coverage linebacker???? Does he not know 95 percent of Iowa's defense plays are linebackers in zone coverages, that's why Iowa consistently leads or near top of linebacker int's or tips. Iowa's defense is in either a quarter zone, man to man zone,
Tampa two zone, or shell two zone, here there a single linebacker blitz zone. WATCH Iowa's defense tapes easy to see why they're always near top of nation in it's year in n year out.
There were some questionable picks imo notable one was picking LaPorta when Mayer was still on the board.
And now? I guess thats why Homles is teh GM, Swagu gets paid for his opinion and we're amrchair amateurs.
Lions are going to shut alot of the haters up this year and im here for it 💯🎉😊 😂😂
I am a Lions fan but I do not think they are ready to beat the Eagles. That Eagles team is just stacked and just got better than last year.
I'm a LIONS fan also. The LIONS defense is much improved over last year. The offense is improved over last year. We lost to the eagles 38 - 35 last year. The LIONS will win the NFC North and be the most feared predator in the NFC. Grab some popcorn, sit back and watch the show.
@@consciousconsciousness I am a little worried about the middle of our Line. I hope Martin can plug it and is a good start but would like another DT pickup.
Well... Swagu was right.
Rune defense is gonna be traasssshhhh. alim mcniel and isaah bugs are not starting DT's on any other roster.
Disney Sports pundits are mostly jokes, except Orlovsky.. he knows what he’s talking about. Holmes is playing chess… and someone is finally paying attention.
Proverbs 30:14
There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.
I'm with everyone that the Lions were a force at the end of the year I really am but I believe they're overhyped. They've been saying best team in NFC that isn't Eagles or 49ers and that's just blasphemous clickbait. How did they improve? They lost 2 WRS to gambling. Still have Goff. Hockenson to LePorta. Big FA signing Montgomery to replace Williams. 1st rd pick reached on a RB (I say reached but he's gonna be good I get it but still a reach) to replace Swift. They stayed the same or marginally improved. At best 10 wins and an early playoff exit.
You don't know football.
@@stopdroolin8418 Stop drooling please
Maybe I'm crazy but I wouldve loved Carter or even another defensive guy at 6 I think we wanted witherspoon but Seattle tool him. I do not want anyone replying to be with "but carter has character issues though we have a culture here ..hes a big scary meany head🤓🤓" then yall talk about we the villains of the NFL idk how the hell we got that label...we only want nice guys here. But Gibbs was a stretch at 12. The only picks I like are branch, Campbell and hooker(because hopefully goff is GONE In 2 years)
Lowest draft grade is a B- What a joke. Can’t risk offending anyone
Surprisingly? Did y’all happen to see their last two drafts? 🤨
Just wait… this team is going to bring the wood!
We finally have a good draft Hendon hooker is about ball!!
“Surprisingly” y’all still throw shade with the complements, get f*****
Should have traded back for Gibbs imo
We did
lions did it once but brad holmes said he lots of texts from other teams after the trade saying they were trying to trade up so they could snag him too. gibbs looks like he could be the next kamara and kamara was an absolute nightmare on the saints for a few years.
Patriots were going to take him at 14, and Jets wanted him at 15 as well
how many GMs did you talk to? How many players, coaches, teammates, roommates did you talk to? How much game film did you watch with the player when you interviewed him? Did you go over white boards with him? All these mock drafters think they know so much more that the people who spend all year doing their DUE DILIGENCE - but you're entitled to your expert opinion.
@@jetsamperes5762 Albert Breer came out with an article today and broke down what happened with Cardinals and Lions trade, now sit down you dont know ball
The only thing worse than Dans taking points is his gameplay
Gibbs isn't going to be a running back?? TF is he talking about??
Lions two picks in first round is a head scratcher… what planet are you on ?
Not at all if you look at the players they got. They fit their needs 😂😂😂 it's not that hard to break down and understand.
@@stopdroolin8418 🏈 Both of them was a reach, both of them was second round picks. Lions could have gotten top tier OL/DL/EDGE/CB at pick 6 … and if they were really hooked on RB they could have gotten the guy at 18 (still reach) and LB in second round without probs.
To see the absolute meltdown of the Lions' fan base after Thursday just highlights how abused we Lions fans are. 2+ years of incredible drafting, steady momentum, all unraveled by 2 picks. All confidence folks had in Holmes were gone, and they genuinely thought the Lions' run was over before it began. I was surprised too, but for me it's as simple as trusting Brad Holmes. Gibbs makes sense in the context of shopping Swift, and doubly so with the context of knowing Jameson Williams is suspended, and Gibbs gives the offense some of the burst it will be missing, and he can catch balls.
