Really disappointed with this draft.
We have a LT in Albert and we're seemingly going to trade him away. So we use the #1 overall on a replacement. Why not just keep Albert?
Then we draft yet another TE.
And then a RB? A position of strength and depth, for a fumble-prone guy that seems to be a reach.
Barkley probably sucks, but I wish we had some sort of QB prospect. He would have been a top-5 pick a year ago. Nobody really knows if he'll be any good.
But this GM thinks he's solved our QB problems by landing Alex fucking Smith. Really?
When we go 5-11 this year and Smith has more INT than TD, then what?
So far, I don't really like what the Lions have done. I hate using a top-5 pick on a "project" with really high upside, but has only been playing football for a few years. I know all three top OL were off the board, but I prefer going safer.
ReplyDeleteAt least we got a CB on the second day who should be good. And an offensive guard who should have a good chance at starting, although maybe that says more about the current state of the Lions' offensive line.
