As much as I would prefer a CB in round 1 now with Sutton off the team, I wouldn't be opposed to taking someone like a Keon Coleman at pick #29. And if a WR is their BPA on the board and a culture fit, I could see them taking one at #29. Keon Coleman doesn't pass the turd test. Brian Thomas is the guy I'm thinking of but Brad might have to trade up for him but it's Holmes, I could see him taking somebody none of us predicted at 29 and that's at the oft chance that he actually stays at 29. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.TaterSalad Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 59 minutes ago, Motown Bombers said: I'll throw it out there, DJ Chark is still available. His season was comparable to Reynolds despite playing with Bryce Young. If you accept he is a number 3-4 and not a potential 1, I would be in favor of bringing him back. He signed for 1 year at $5 million with Carolina last offseason. Reynolds made around $3 million a season with us on the two year deal he signed. I'd ideally like to keep Chark under the $5 million mark, but wouldn't be opposed to having him in here on another 1 year deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_R Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I hoped they could bring back Chark last season. He would be a solid addition for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda blocked the 2nd half of that game out of my mind so I forgot about those drops, those were indeed killers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I'd be fine with Chark, while it would be nice to have another stud receiver they really don't need one with St. Brown, Laporta and hopefully an improved Jamo but I do feel they need atleast one more semi reliable guy to fill that role. DJP is a possibility but I still want atleast one more guy for reassurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're talking 3rd string QBs, you want someone who knows the offense and is good in the QB room breaking down film. It's why they always brought Blough back and they probably trust Sudfeld in that regard as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJP is a possibility but I still want atleast one more guy for reassurance. I'm still not sold on Jamo. I'm not sure what the issue is, but he's been largely ineffective. Maybe part of it is defense scheming against him? Maybe part of it is just having St. Brown being so effective that other receivers don't get look. I dunno. But Jamo had only 24 receptions last year for 354 yards. That puts him behind not only St Brown (1515), but also Josh Reynolds (608) and Raymond (489), not to mention Sam LaPorta (889). Heck, Gibbs (316) wasn't too far behind Jamo. I just don't know if Jamo is going to live up to a high first round pick status. I know it's early... he was mostly a rookie this year and missed time at the beginning of the year because of the NFL's stupid rules. But I just don't have a lot of faith that Jamo will ever be a great receiver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the numbers may not have shown it I did feel like he looked alot better as a true WR the last month or so of the season including the playoffs. By that I mean he didn't just run go routes to the pylon, he was actually running a variety of different routes and making some impressive catches where he came back for the ball. Im hoping it's a sign of him growing as a receiver and showing that he can be more than just a deep threat or gadget guy.

ben9753 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I think with JR gone, Jamo will break out in a big way. I just hope he gets off to a hot start and Goff doesn't loose confidence in him before he has a chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those rushing sweep TDs were really sweet, especially the TD in the NFC Championship game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear you but it's really too bad that the recency bias of the drops overshadow how many big plays he made for the team last season and being the first real receiver that Goff had in his time in Detroit and playing a big part in restoring Goff's confidence back to the Pro Bowl level QB he was prior, one of the first real "culture" guys of the Holmes/Campbell era which is what he really should be remembered for not the two drops at the most critical moments. I get it but it's unfortunate that it's what shaped his Lions legacy. Edited March 28 by NYLion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there's a good chance that Jamo will break out at some point, the talent and the will is just too much especially in this BNL environment for him to fail, but the Lions are putting a lot of eggs in the Jamo basket to be a true #2 so there is always the chance it doesn't work out then what? DPJ is the #3 currently, that's....sketchy. I know LaPorta is considered a main target but he's still a Tight End at the end of the day. The Lions need an X receiver but maybe DPJ becomes that guy, he did have good numbers in Cleveland and is young.

ben9753 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 I'm pretty sure the'll have another WR before the season starts, either via trade, FA or the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 This draft is really deep at WR. None of the top three (Harrison, Nabers, Odunze) will make it to #29, but I wouldn't be surprised if one of Thomas, Worthy, or Legette make it... If BH is in love with one of them they should get within striking distance of a trade up too. In a normal year, they'd each be top-15 prospects, especially Thomas. Coleman is a prospect who is probably good enough to take at #29 too, though I've seen him mocked in the early 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a fan favorite but he's also a primarily blocking tight end. Blocking tight ends grow on trees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) I would like to see Mitchell get the TE2 position. He seems like he can be the Holmes year three improvement candidate like McNeill, Melifonwu and Barnes.

Stanley70 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Wright i think graded out as average as a blocker. And he doesn't bring much to the table as a receiver aside from being able to find an open area in a zone. All the other non-Laporta TE's aren't great blockers either. I wouldn't be surprised to see them target an abover average blocker in the draft like AJ Barner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
