Which if we haven’t learned by now. Means absolutely nothing. Just watch the tape. 
 

he SET the rookie WR record. My

god

And single-handedly saved my fantasy football season. Fortunately, I lost week 1 so I was able to pick him off the waiver wire. Came in 3rd and at least got my $$ back.

5th round!  Where were the scouts on this guy?  He pops off the screen as a silky smooth athlete.

 

Kyle Williams, Stefon Diggs, & Matt Milano were all 5th Round picks, as well.

That's dumb!! His college career gets dumped because of a combine performance? 

 

The meta-game of the draft is weird and controlled by groupthink.  GMs all seem to worry that they'll be perceived as over-drafting someone when relatively meaningless things like the combine or Senior Bowl results get publicized.  If GMs were anonymous figures who all got to do what was truly best for their team with impunity, draft results would be vastly different.

If the Lions can continue to mix the run and pass all night, I don't know if the Rams will have a single defensive stop.

 

2nd perfect offensive game incoming?

Nacua moving forward at the snap, no call.  The NFL needs to put a stop to that in the off-season.  Should be a point of emphasis because everyone is doing it now.  THIS AIN'T CANADA!!!

Big Baller Beane was asleep at the switch.  I'd rather have him than Dorian Williams.  What say you @GunnerBill?  Where did you have Nacua?

Terrible combine. Was universally seen as a special teamer at best. What they forgot to measure was game speed. He ran the fourth fastest route in the league this year. Just a great kid too.

La Porta is a freaking stud.  It’s amazing how good he and Puka have been.

I don’t remember any talk of LaPorta going into the draft. I recall Kincaid and Mayer were thought to be the two best TEs. Kudos to the Lions for picking LaPorta before Mayer at the top of the 2nd round.

The Lions offense is so patient.

 

They stick with the run, use a ton of play action, bootlegs.

 

They are in control, whereas the Cowboys and Dolphins panic.

 

Also, Detroit got mocked for their draft.

 

Now it’s clear that Gibbs, LaPorta, Branch,  Campbell can all play.
