NFL Draft Night - As It Happens.

Didn't sound like he was excited to be a Lion.

me neither.  trading up to get an injured receiver?  

It's weird that Holmes waited until round 4 to get his WR last year and this year trades up for one.

[Motown Bombers]

So the Lions move up 20 spots in the 1st, move back in the 2nd 12 spots and only gave up a 3rd? I like it. 

[TP_Fan]

I mean, come The hell on. What did this cost them?  Move down 12 spots in the 2nd round and a 3rd rounder.  Incredible value for Detroit.

Exactly!

did i really just see an ad for the nfl that said football is queer?

lol.  welcome to 2022.

[RandyMarsh]

It's "just" an ACL and he was clearly the top WR before the injury. He's a guy that can make a Jamar Chase like impact on an offense. It essentially costed a 3rd and 14 spots in the 2nd, not a major amount to give up to get a premium talent like that.

Yeah...

He didn't look happy at all...

It’s an extremely savvy move.  I’m just elated.

Probably never been a gay person to ever watch or play football.  Nice take.

I think that's a good trade on paper, just a tiny bit disappointed it wasn't for Willis. I am concerned about Williams' ACL injury too.

Need someone to get the ball to him. Noodle Arm Goff? 

[sagnam]

What if the Lions jumped the Eagles and took their guy again?

[RandyMarsh]

According to PFF the Lions got the best defensive player and best non tackle offensive player. Impact guys like that is what you need!

We all know Goff isn’t the QB of the future.

He's apparently quite a bit ahead of the average rehab curve. Hopefully he's not over-doing it.

i'm disappointed it didnt say football suffers from a rare blood disease.  think of all the kids out there who watch football and suffer from a rare blood disease.  they must be really upset they havent been validated by a tv commercial.

[Motown Bombers]

Still no safety taken. There could be a decent safety available at 46.

so much for kyle hamilton at #2...

 

[buddha]

eagles had to get ahead of baltimore if they wanted davis.

[1984Echoes]

LB'ers and a Safety.... next on the list...

[Jason_R]

In all the thousand mock drafts that got done, I’d like to see if there was one that had the Lions trading up for Williams at 12. 

[buddha]

there goes kyle

[RandyMarsh]

Of course the top safety falls right in the Ravens lap. Seems like things like that always happen to them. 

[buddha]

too slow to be a safety, too small to be a linebacker...
