section122 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 19 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: IF it is Evan Neal then giving him a year at RT before moving him over to left would be a smart move. I think Jawaan Taylor and Walker Little are better options at RT than Chaisson is to start opposite Allen. I think the bigger need is DE unless Cam Robinson leaves after this year. I know they are more than 1 player away so they may think more long term but even with that Walker Little could potentially slide into the LT spot. I think the Lions are really hoping it isn't Hutch though. He just seems to fit Dan Campbell's style better than a Thibodeaux who deserved or not has some motivation questions. I don't think they go qb as Goff played quite well when Campbell took play calling duties away from Anthony Lynn. Not the answer at qb but good enough to hold off until there are better prospects. All as always just imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All as always just imo I agree I'd pick Hutch if it was me. He is the best player at a premium position in the draft and when you are a bad football team just pick the BPA at a premium position. Equallt while I think it is him or Neal, I am not a huge Neal fan. He is my OT4. But IF they are picking him then giving him a year at RT while Cam Robinson plays on the tag before flipping him over is the way to go IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Matter_What Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Call me crazy but I think Lions will in reality take QB. And whether its a good move really depends on comparison of Willis/Pickett vs top guys expected to enter next draft, which I have no clue about. I think they will be picking top5 next year too so they can go either way. Edited March 29, 2022 by No_Matter_What 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, there are great options to fall back on that play premium positions (DE, CB, OT in this case) this lions GM (me) isn’t in love with Willis and see Thibodeaux as a great add 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 With the 4th pick of the 2022 TSW Draft, the New York Jets select Ikem Ekwonu, Offensive Tackle, North Carolina State. The New York Giants and @LEBills are now on the clock. I am not going to lie, the first three picks are the worst possible scenario for the Jets. If Sauce was there I was taking him. He is tailor made for the Saleh defense. If he wasn't I hoped Thibodeaux would be there. In their absence I landed on an offensive tackle, given that there are concerns over Mekhi Becton's health and professionalism. Then it comes to scheme fit. In an E-P or a spread I'd go Charles Cross who is my OT1, but in a Shanahan style stretch zone such as the one Mike LaFleur runs it is Ekwonu who is the better fit. I am going to plug him in at left tackle next to FA acquisition Laken Tomlinson who comes over from the 9ers and the same offense. I am flipping Vera-Tucker to right guard and Becton, if he is fit to play, to right tackle. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, I think the Panthers would want to trade down (I know, non-trade draft), but you also can't trust that other teams won't jump to get him. At the end of the day, the Panthers get their guy and he can sit for a year while they build up around him.

Alphadawg7 Posted March 29, 2022 Share Posted March 29, 2022 With the 8th pick of the 2022 TSW Draft, the Atlanta Falcons select: Garrett Wilson, WR Ohio State With a lot of holes on both sides of the ball, we aren't interested in trading draft capital to move up in the draft for a QB. There are some QB's in the draft we find intriguing that we like, but with the only one we were willing to take here now off the board, our focus is adding more playmakers to the offense and we are going BPA and taking the top guy on our board in Garrett Wilson. His polished route running will not only be an important weapon for our QB Mariota, but will also take some of the defensive pressure away from our talented TE Pitts. The Seattle Seahawks and @Rock-A-Bye Beasleyare now on the clock with the 9th pick in the draft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: missed poster with CAR taking a QB. Thought no QB's were picked yet I think Willis will go top 7 personally, and may even see a team move up to get him. I don't think anyone feels good about trading up for any of the other QB's though. I gave Matt Corrall some consideration at 8, but ultimately, I felt no pressure to go QB here given we have a lot of big needs and think Mariota is a capable 1 year starter if need be. Falcons plan should be not to reach this draft and take the BPA on the board as they have holes every where. And to me Corrall and Pickett are a reach at 8 (I like Corrall's upside a little more than Pickett personally). 14 minutes ago, NewEra said: Same. 50/50 whether or not he goes to Detroit, but I’m leaning towards him being their pick.
