its just a message board. relax. and the lions arent a playoff team. they didnt make the playoffs last year.

the scouting report i read (yes, ON THE INTERNET), seemed to say he doesnt play up to his athletic abilities. that he's a bit stiff, takes some time to diagnose plays, and doesnt always play up to his speed. what does that mean? i dont know. im just a dude on a message board regurgitating other people's stuff. the problem with the campbell pick - if there is one - is where they took him.

they gave the gibbs pick an A and the liked the campbell pick too.

https://sumersports.com/the-zone/nfl-draft-proverbs/ To this point, Riske found that between the two extremes, reaches (where a team takes a player higher than their spot on the consensus board) and steals (where a team takes a player that has fallen lower than their spot on the consensus board), there is really only empirical evidence for the former. Teams that take a player higher than expected to are, in a sense, “a market of one”, bestowed with all of the statistical properties of a draft pundit being quoted by Freezing Cold Takes. On average, players that are taken ahead of their consensus position underperform. *** the odds are not with us on gibbs and , especially, campbell.

duh. so are you.

i dont see why they would do that. theyre not trying to win next year. audition him for what? they have his game tape. it doesnt seem like a fit. but who knows?

one year of deandre swift? what does that do for a team like the cardinals who are rebuilding? murray is out all year. i dont see them caring for deandre swift. the eagles might be a team that is interested. or hold on to swift and wait until mccaffery gets injured again, maybe the niners will be interested. but heck, its the nfl. who knows?

exactly. howie roseman loves georgia defenders. with good reason, georgia buys the best athletes on defense. carter is one of the most talented players in the draft, but risky. the eagles bet on that talent and their ability to get it out of him. the lions passed and went for stiff linebackers who are captains...

gibbs is not marshall faulk or deebo samuel or a work horse back. he's an extremely fast back who can catch. if you wanted marshall faulk, you should have drafted bijan robinson.

deebo is a LOT bigger than gibbs. maybe in the way they use him? i see gibbs as mccaffery lite.

lions needed a talent upgrade at linebacker....but they probably could have done that later. they passed on the best run stopper in the draft when they let carter go.

jordan addison....pfffft.

if the lions trade up for a safety or a tight end im going to REALLY start drinking.

baltimore takes another bust at wr.

i really dont get the campbell pick other than "he's a team captain and he's gritty." not a great value position especially with jsn still on the board. i guess maybe jsn's medical history scared them away.

i like witherspoon and jsn better than gibbs and campbell.

seattle is having a much better draft than us.

i will say this about gibbs, he is fast and elusive. charbonnet is not. charbonnet is a faster jamal williams.

two huge reaches. i know holmes has 3 second round picks, but he doesnt have to start taking second round guys til tomorrow.

linebacker and running back, two positions with not as much value in today's nfl. at least gibbs is fast.

welp, time to start drinking.

shoot me.

want: jsn, banks, maybe porter jr. expect: mayer or nolan smith because smith "has that dog in him" or something stupid like that.

god dammit.
