Motown Bombers

Holmes and Campbell weren't going to draft a player who shows up to a pro day fat and out of shape.

Would Arizona have any interest in Swift as part of a package for Hopkins? This offense once Williams gets back with Hopkins, St Brown, Montgomery and Gibbs would be a matchup nightmare.

I just don't know there is room for three RBs. We could see Swift get the Kerryon treatment. The Lions signed Peterson and drafted Swift which relegated Kerryon to the third RB and basically got little use before leaving.

I would rein it in a little. Think Alvin Kamara. Upwards of 1,500 yards from scrimmage and 10+ combined TDs.

This also signals to me they are committed to Goff. Goff is at his best when he has a good run game to fall back on and can play action pass off of. Now you add someone like Gibbs as a safety valve and this offense is being built around Goff.

Dan Campbell comes from the Payton tree and I think people forget how well those high scoring Saints teams ran the ball. Between Kamara and Ingram, they averaged well over 300 carries a year and over 100 catches per year. That's over 400 touches by running backs and those Saints offenses were always top 5 in scoring. Gibbs and Montgomery are the new Kamara and Ingram. Brees didn't have elite arm strength and was similar to Goff in arm talent. You can see the Campbell imprint on this offense.

I've read they will likely move Anzalone to WILL and Rodriguez will rotate off the bench along with Barnes.

This doesn't come off to me as someone who has regrets and would choose a different player. I think he got the player he wanted.

I don't know, he seemed awfully excited to get Gibbs. He had a bigger reaction than when he got Sewell.

Once the QBs were off the board, that pick became less valuable as we've seen with the Levis slide. Still, 12 and 34 seemed fair for 6.

Who knows if this is true but I don't take Holmes to be a BS'er.

So effectively the Lions got Goff, Melifonwu, Williams and Gibbs for Stafford. Honestly has the potential to be a really good trade for the Lions.

Campbell is a much better athlete than I thought.

Arizona has the 33rd pick? I guess from Houston? We didn't even get their best 2nd round pick?

Jack Campbell's DPOY trophy.

Christ, we've reached the point where Youtubers are announcing the picks.

St Brown was also a 4th round pick and Tom Brady a 6th round pick. Knowing what we know now, they would all be drafted higher than they were.

You can see a Saints thing going here. Gibbs and Montgomery have the potential to be Kamara and Ingram.

I kind of hope they trade up or something. Don't really want three 2nd round picks.

Thought they may have went Levis.

Gibbs isn't just a rusher, he's also a pass catcher. I've seen comparisons to Kamara who's someone who averages around 1,300 all purpose yards and double digit TDs. Goff and the Rams went to a Super Bowl with a strong run game. They probably could have got him later but whatever. I don't like the Campbell pick but teams did run over the Lions at times. The Eagles game and the Seattle game come to mind. They simply couldn't stop them to get the ball back. There's also the Carolina game.

I don't get some of the LB decisions either. Ironically, Malcolm Rodriguez was a great pick.

I mean, if they knew Campbell would have been available to them back in March, maybe they don't sign Anzalone.
