I blew through my reactions today this morning, so I think I'll start creating my own. For this post:

 

I'm out of reactions as well.  I saw the powerhouse if Iowa connection as well

Way to take it out of context.

"He is in the Austin Hooper mold and projects as a low-end TE1 or high-end TE2 on an NFL depth chart."

And evading the question. Who do you see as our TE1?

That was literally what he meant.  I saw that too and immediately got his joke.  Relax.

Louis Riddick saying the Lions are going to be the NFC Championship game.

It was 48.   But what else?  

Probably one of the 5ths

Looks like it was 55+, not 48.

-edit- my Twitter source was wrong. 48 and 159 for 45. Good deal.

Isn't 159 the pick they got for Okudah? 

[RandyMarsh]

Keion White looks like he is in his mid to late 30s, I legit thought that was a player's Dad when they showed him. 

[Tenacious D]

I’d like Hooker at 55 if he’s still there.

[Motown Bombers]

 

[RandyMarsh]

Branch just seems like the type of player that the Patriots would've jumped at which could be why the Lions felt the need to make sure they got him. 

[NYLion]

The Lions have ridiculous depth on this roster. RB, TE, LB, the entire secondary, WR when Jamo returns, starting O-Line is high level. Loaded

Really want to see a D-Lineman at 55, some good names could be sitting there.

Yes it was. I'll take 48 and Okudah for Branch all day.

[MichiganCardinal]

Pandering Intermission.

[Motown Bombers]

Can't wait until Branch intercepts Jordan Love. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Possibles at 55 as of now

 

 DT Keeanu Benton, Wisconsin

QB Hendon Hooker, Tennessee

OL  O'Cyrus Torrence, Florida

LB  Drew Sanders, Arkansas

WR  Ced Tillman, Tennessee

WR  Jaylon Reid, Michigan State

DE  Adetomiwa Adebawore,  Northwestern

 

 

[Shinzaki]

Picking LaPorta started a mini-run on TE's as Mayer and Musgrave went a few picks later

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Really like the Brian Branch pick. We have completely transformed the secondary for the better this offseason.

Maybe I missed him but if he's still there I would love to get Benton from Wisconsin. 

[Motor City Sonics]

Green Bay trading down, down, down

 

What is wrong with O'Cyrus?    

[MichiganCardinal]

Mauch and Ragnow would have been a really fun combo.

Lots of players I still like here. I'd be happy with several of these players sans Hendon Hooker.

[MichiganCardinal]

I think I like Torrence or Tillman at 55.

Same here. Him or Adebawore and I'm good for the rest of this draft. Keion White still there too.

I'd like Torrence, Tillman, Benton or CB(Turner, Moss, Smith) at 55. Any one of those and I'd be happy. 

[Mr.TaterSalad]

Ugh . . . I guess I didn't realize how bad of a RAS score Branch has.

[RandyMarsh]

Well there goes Benton.
