Jason_R Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago I’m not trying to will this into existence BTW, but you have Charlie Campbell and Daniel Jeremiah both reporting that Detroit is eyeing Proctor. Most mocks have Proctor going in the mid-20s. Quote
MichiganCardinal Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago Maybe they love Proctor. Maybe they don't love Proctor, but know that he'll probably be there at #17 and would prefer OT-needy teams drafting after them think they love Proctor. Releasing tidbits to the media is an art form. Quote
Dan Gilmore Posted 3 hours ago Posted 3 hours ago With so many OTs that are graded well this year, I wonder what the odds of a small trade back scenario are. By pick 16 they will know how many OTs are left and may decide they can still get one, along with an extra later pick. Do they have discussions with other teams ahead of the draft to see how it might work? Obviously the further back you drop, the more risk that you miss out on your guys. Quote
1984Echoes Posted 1 hour ago Posted 1 hour ago If they truly are in love with Proctor, then... 1) He needs to be committed to maintaining his weight at less than 350. Are/ will the Lions bought into this? 2) He has inconsistencies due to excess weight; IMO, this will always be a career-long worry. 3) He can be burned by speed/ quick-changes... he's not a fast-twitch guy/ his weight is great for momentum (rush-blocking... like a runaway freight train); not so good at making quick adjustments to a man with a pass-rush-plan. I'm not sold on this player. And I'm not sold on the Lions interest in him either, despite Campbell and Jeremiah reporting their interest. But what do I know... maybe? Just my 2 cents. Quote
