I say milliner 1St because every time we draft a corner late we miss on that pick none of the cbs we drafted have turn out a be a starter not a nickle

1. Tavon Austin WR/RB/KR

2. Werner/Okafor/Tank DE

3. Honey Badger CB

BPA OLINE AND NEEDS WITH REST

[thunter992]

Nice. I agree. They need to adress the o line in 1st. Cb in 2nd. Then de 3rd. Let's hope lions grab some position needs in the draft

[Andrew Melton]

I like your synopsis and agree with O-Line for the 5th pick or trading down for Warmack. But I don't think Jarvis Jones is a risk as much for his health as for the fact he was mainly used as a stand up rush end type player at Georgia. Probably IDEALLY suited for a 3-4 defense in the NFL. Stenosis injury isn't as much of a concern to a players success as lets say the concussion history with J. Best.

Uhhhh... What?

[Aren Kanneian]

all that said i would not mind someone like fisher or warmack as they would really help this oline and now reggie bush. but then the lions would need to resign durant or some other olb.
