2025 NFL Draft

[Motown Bombers]

Once again, Holmes drafts a guy I didn't see coming. I did not see them trading up for a white receiver.

WE DONT NEED NO STINKIN PASS RUSH!

I’d guess we’re signing Z back

[buddha]

remember when we took levi?  amd brad wanted to trade into round one to get him and someone told him to be patient and get him later?  amd we did?

where is that guy?  can someone give him brad's phone number?

[Motown Bombers]

I have to say, I'm not impressed with the trade value, but I like the players.

As far as I know, Dorsey is still in the front office.

I don't like this pick. I just don't understand why Brad won't draft a pass rusher. This also seems like a developmental pick to me. He has traits with not much production. Nick Saban on the ABC draft coverage seemed to think this was too early. So did Desmond and their other analyst. This pick seems a bit of smartest guy in the room. 

[Motown Bombers]

Receiver was an underrated need. Their #3 is a 31 year old Tim Patrick. They finally get a true X receiver.

We're giving up a lot of trade value on these spots. I don't know **** about any team's draft board. But did anyone have this WR on their board this early? Was someone going to take him soon? And to give up a third to move up in the third is too much. 

[buddha]

receiver is a definite need.

but TWO THIRD ROUND PICKS?????

please brad.  i like you.  but please...

sigh.  the lions are in quality over quantity phase.  i get it.

[RandyMarsh]

I guess we just got to trust Brad but I don't get this at all.  He's really going to have to end up being something to justify giving up both your 3rds next year for. 

[1984Echoes]

The flipside is Brad is accumulating late picks.

We now have two 6ths this year and three 7ths...

What is Holmes planning to DO with all those picks?

Inquiring minds want to know...

(he has something up his sleeve?)

It's actually three since they gave their 3rd from this year.

I got Tavai vibes with this pick…

[Klondike]

Even Nick Saban is perplexed getting him before the 4th or 5th round. Am I missing something 

[Nate7474]

Physical attributes are elite.  if the hands are there and he becomes a good route runner there's a lot of potential in that player.  With that said I hate the value of the pick even if I do consider it a need.  Felt like there were a decent amount of good EDGE pieces and without a pick until the 6th round I'd find it hard to believe any of them slip.

Yes. You count the other move up for this.. amazing

This kid seems like a project to me, which isn't what I want for an early 3rd round pick. 28 receptions, 546 yards, and 3 TDs aren't stats that jump off the page to me for a #1 WR on an SEC team.

dude, they gave up TWO thirds!

[Motown Bombers]

With the way people talk about pass rushers, you would think the Lions don't have the best pass rusher in the league.

Two things:

 

1. Is there a site that shows what pieces are traded in these trades?

 

2. This dude is top 30 ALL time in RAS scores and looks like he was amazing at the Senior bowl. What makes him a non 1st/2nd round grade? Top 30 all team seems pretty impressive to me. I dunno what I'm missing there.......

[RandyMarsh]

Also unless he had a 1A and 1B option it was a little risky giving up all that capital for a single player when you weren't even on the clock. 

[Klondike]

Green better not turn out to be great

3 3rds. He's athletically not a guy who should go later than the first.

The production is why he isn't top 30.
