Also the suspension doesn't include time served already so he isnt eligible to return until April of 2024.

Kyler Gordon or Brisker are who Im hoping for.

If push came to shove Id imagine he'd be able to go by the start of the regular season but if the Lions were smart they'd take it slowly, no need to rush him back at this point. I know not everybody is the same and Adrian Peterson is a freak specimen but I remember one year he had an even more serious ACL injury along with an MCL too that happened in the playoffs so after Jameson's and he was back at 100% by the start of the following regular season.

Hard to believe it was only like 5 years ago that Jax was in the AFC Championship game and appeared to have one of the best young rosters in the league.

I remember being pissed they traded down when Shane Ray was on the board. Yeah that's like exhibit million why I shouldn't get upset when the team passes on somebody I like predraft.

Btw even though the Lions did win thy trade going by past comparisons I don't necessarily think it was a bad trade for the Vikings either. If they didnt love anybody at that spot and felt they could get a similar player at 32, why not pick up extra capital even if it less than the perceived value of the pick?

Last year the Bears gave up a future 1st, a 4th and a 5th to move up from 20 to 11, we gave up less to move up from 32 to 12.

Looking back I think it's obvious that Holmes must've felt strongly that there was a big drop off in WR from London, Wilson and Williams to the next batch which is why he made the move when he did. Yeah the ESPN pundits and others kept talking about how deep of class it was as evidence of the number of 1st rounders and that is true but that doesn't mean they are all on the same tier. For instance Scouts Inc. has Williams at a 92 while they have Dotson at 87, Watson at 84 and Pickens at 83, while that doesn't seem like much in reality the difference between mid 80s and low 90s is pretty massive on a scouting scale, so while the latter may be still be 1st or early 2nds they arent in the same class as somebody like Williams.

I have a man crush on both of them so I'd probably rather have Cine/Pickens at this point but if we can get a great player at 46 it could sway my decision.

lol total Patriots pick taking a guard from Chattanooga.

The Eagles have two firsts next year so they definitely have the ammo to move up and get a QB next year so if you're in the camp of getting one of the QBs next draft we should be pulling for Hurts and them to win so that is one less team to worry about next draft.

Assuming no trades I'd love to get Pitre or Brisker at 44. Going into the draft my dream scenario(that I thought was likely) was Hutch/Thibs, Pickens and Cine/Hill. Instead if we ended up with Hutch, Jameson and Pitre/Brisker I would be even happier since I think the difference between Jameson and Pickens is greater than Cine/Hill and Pitre/Brisker.

Its a little late but I do have to say that was a pretty savage move by the Titans to basically say to AJ Brown "You want big money, screw you we'll just trade you and draft a guy(who's main comp was indeed AJ BRown) for a fraction of the cost."

lol I should've known.

Without seeing him I'm guessing no since he is listed as a CB, I think the last white CB was Jason Sehorn.

TB drafted Trask last year in the 2nd and are reportedly high on him so not sure they would go with Willis but I guess you never know.

I will be slightly disappointed if Watson and PIckens are still there at 32 cause I would've been fine with one of them even though I do concede that Williams definitely has much higher upside than either.

I didn't think Willis would be a fit for PIttsburgh, the Steelers are the type of franchise that don't have the patience to sit and wait 2-3 years for a guy to develop they need to compete every year and need a guy who can come in and play from day 1.

I love Burks as well as Watson and Pickens, particularly for the Lions needs but Williams is just a special talent and in a league of his own in this draft imo. I watched him against that great Georgia defense and he made THAT defense look like they were playing in slow motion the way he blew past them. He may not be Jamarre Chase but he is damn close..assuming no setbacks from his injury which I guess considering it's the Lions we probably shouldn't just assume that.

This is why we went up for Williams. Holmes realized that all the top WRs would be gone by the time we picked at 32.

Of course the top safety falls right in the Ravens lap. Seems like things like that always happen to them.

According to PFF the Lions got the best defensive player and best non tackle offensive player. Impact guys like that is what you need!

It's "just" an ACL and he was clearly the top WR before the injury. He's a guy that can make a Jamar Chase like impact on an offense. It essentially costed a 3rd and 14 spots in the 2nd, not a major amount to give up to get a premium talent like that.
