sagnam Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Rapoport reveals what the Lions offered for 49ers' Deebo Samuel "The Lions offer was, I think, a one and a three, and the 49ers didn't view that as a good enough offer [either]," Rapoport told Rich Eisen on Monday. "And they wanted to keep the player anyway, so they just didn't trade him." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.TaterSalad Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 18 hours ago, Motown Bombers said: LOL at the dude from the Houston Chronicle giving his own team an A. The Texans reached on a Guard in the 1st round in Kenyon Green and drafted what could be the 2nd or 3rd best Corner, who had 1 productive season 2 years ago in Stingley Jr., when they had needs at literally every position on the field. Were I Nick Cesario and the Texans GM I would have picked Ikem Ekwonu or Kayvon Thibodeaux at #3 and then one of Treylon Burks or Trent McDuffie at #15 after the trade back. What do I really know though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I really like what the Chiefs did considering where they were picking. I prefer the fact that the Lions got two studs but considering the Chiefs didn't have the luxury of picking 2nd I think Id probably give them a higher grade than the Lions.

RandyMarsh Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I don't know why I didn't think of this before but with us trading up for Williams it basically nullified the fact the Rams won the SB and we got the 32nd pick in turn. I mean even if that pick was say 20th we still wouldve had to pony up atleast the 34th pick to move up to 12th. I guess the only difference is that maybe we couldve gotten away with trading our comp pick instead of our own 3rd rounder but that isn't that big of deal.

Motor City Sonics Posted May 3, 2022 Author Share Posted May 3, 2022 So the NFL was angry at the Lions for the speed at which they made their #2 pick and wanted them to milk the clock for the full 10. Um, you bastards at the NFL control the draft. Nobody said you had to tell everyone the Lions already picked. Why couldn't you just delay telling everyone? A stupid thing to be angry about, but I'm thinking in a couple close games this season there is going to be close calls that don't go the Lions way.............just a hunch there.

Motown Bombers Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 For the people upset the Lions passed on Dean, I think they got good value in Rodriguez. Im not sure what these numbers mean, but Rodriguez profiles a lot like Dean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddha Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 he's a lot like nakobe dean. people were concerned about nakobe dean being too small to play in the nfl without being injured, well, rodriguez is the same height and weight as dean. theyre both small and fast. hopefully he can put some weight on and be a player in a couple years. he profiles out a lot like JRM. that's not a bad outcome for a 5th round pick if we get that out of him.

sagnam Posted May 4, 2022 Share Posted May 4, 2022 The Cowboys are a mess. Their crazy owner gave away their draft ranking and showed that they didn’t even select the best player on their list, Cine, who was also the only player left with a 1st round grade. Jerry Jones revealed top of Cowboys’ draft board, with Kayvon Thibodeaux at No. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Bombers Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 I think the NFL is going to go to more of these hybrid LB/S. This may be a sleeper pick. At the very least, should be a good special team's contributer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Listening to the radio today and they brought up a sound byte from one of our games at the end of the season that Aquib Talib was calling. To paraphrase Talib goes "If Im the Lions Im rolling with Goff and building up the rest of the team, go get Hutchinson in the draft then trade up for a receiver, preferably Jameson Williams from Alabama" So is Talib Nostradamus or is he secretly part of Holmes staff?

TP_Fan Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 you can go to YouTube to watch the entire game of cards lions. 1 hr 58 minute mark is where Talib makes his off-season recommendation. Incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m OK that they waited to pick up their LB and picked up a versatile DL in Paschal instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Mcshay put out his way too early 2023 mock and he has us taking Bryce Young and with the Rams pick Tony Grimes CB out of UNC. He used the reverse order of SB odds so we picked 2nd which barring any luck won't happen again this year. Even so he had 5 qbs going in the top 10 all of which he said are better than anybody this year so assuming the guys stock don't drop theres a good chance we can get a qb next draft if we choose to go that route.

Motown Bombers Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Maybe some caution at going all in on the next trendy QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 The 49ers are fortunate that they already built such a solid team cause they gave up a bounty for Lance, normally that is the type of move that could cripple a franchise for atleast a few years if it doesn't work out.

This is why you build a solid team before going all in for a QB. Also, I have a hard time believing that the Lions will pick second again. Say what you will about Walter Football, but I think he’s closer to what will occur in putting Detroit 5 behind Houston, Atlanta, Chicago, and Jacksonville. Also, Carolina’s QB situation is a disaster. The Giants are a coin toss with Daniel Jones and a new staff. Who is going to throw passes for Seattle? Washington is a three-headed monster but Ron Rivera will keep them from total meltdown. I could see one or more of these teams dropping below Detroit, who I figure will pick in the 5-8 range.
