Questions about whether he loves football, does he give maximum effort down in and down out etc... it must be coming from interviews and background checks though rather than tape 'cos I have looked for signs of him half assing it and I can't see them! 1 1 Quote

Not necessarily.....depends which way Lions management feel is best way to approach improving what areas they feel is most important. Could be couple different positions that may be the "right pick" Quote

I think Jawaan Taylor and Walker Little are better options at RT than Chaisson is to start opposite Allen. I think the bigger need is DE unless Cam Robinson leaves after this year. I know they are more than 1 player away so they may think more long term but even with that Walker Little could potentially slide into the LT spot. I think the Lions are really hoping it isn't Hutch though. He just seems to fit Dan Campbell's style better than a Thibodeaux who deserved or not has some motivation questions. I don't think they go qb as Goff played quite well when Campbell took play calling duties away from Anthony Lynn. Not the answer at qb but good enough to hold off until there are better prospects. All as always just imo Quote

All as always just imo I agree I'd pick Hutch if it was me. He is the best player at a premium position in the draft and when you are a bad football team just pick the BPA at a premium position. Equallt while I think it is him or Neal, I am not a huge Neal fan. He is my OT4. But IF they are picking him then giving him a year at RT while Cam Robinson plays on the tag before flipping him over is the way to go IMO. 1 Quote

I've seen a lot that believes OL/OT is their biggest need. We are talking about Jags correct? Wanted to make sure we talking about same team here lol. Anyways, that's your opinion or assessment of their biggest need, or right pick. They may think differently. Quote

No_Matter_What Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 (edited) Call me crazy but I think Lions will in reality take QB. And whether its a good move really depends on comparison of Willis/Pickett vs top guys expected to enter next draft, which I have no clue about. I think they will be picking top5 next year too so they can go either way. Edited March 29, 2022 by No_Matter_What 1 Quote

On the other hand, I think they are going to try and build a foundation in this draft, then figure out QB in the offseason Quote

If not, there are great options to fall back on that play premium positions (DE, CB, OT in this case) this lions GM (me) isn’t in love with Willis and see Thibodeaux as a great add 1 Quote

mannc Posted March 29, 2022 Posted March 29, 2022 With the third pick in the 2022 TSW Mock Draft, the Houston Texans select Ahmad Gardner, CB, Univ. of Cincinnati. The NY Jests (GunnerBill) are on the clock. We were hoping Thibodeaux would still be there for us, but our top corner is a nice consolation prize... Quote
