Rollin in this 64 (years) w/ kneecaps & draft picks on deck: The 2021 Detroit Lions Official Thread

[Piff Perkins]

Four sacks allowed by Sewell in the last two games and a lot of QB pressures. I will never be a fan of taking offensive linemen when there are playmakers available.

He's a rookie and has had multiple games where he looked elite. He'll be fine. I got zero worried about Sewell.

I have no issue with Campbell crying but I feel the same way I feel about Urban's existential crisis over losing...everyone knew these teams would be bad. Why are you upset? This is a rebuild. The goal should be to figure out who is gonna be here next season, what the draft needs are, and what the FA needs are. And so far I've seen a lot that makes me excited about the next couple years. The run game looks really good. While the receiving core is bad, I like Brown/Cephus and think that area of the team is easily fixable with a draft pick and FA next year. Defense wise the rookie NT is good, as is the second round DT. Edges are depleted but if we get the first draft pick next year that's gonna be easy to fix with that DE from Oregon.

Secondary needs to be completely revamped, and I doubt Okudah makes the team next year. But Tracy Walker is looking solid and will be even better next year if we can improve the pass rush.

Basically this year is a wash. We need to lose games and keep getting draft picks.

Amon Ra has 19 catches for 178 . Those numbers would be alot better if he had better qb. Goff has missed him alot. Wish we could have gotten Chase but he wasn’t available. I’ve always seen Smith is career #2. Not worth top 10 pick. They made right choice with Sewell

He's not doing this and I like Ra.





Goff is trash but Hurts isn't exactly Mahomes over there in Philly. I think @wire28 would attest to that.

Per the athletic, Amon-Ra St. Brown was 4th in the league this week with 4.5 yards of separation per catch or incompletion.

Goff needs to start hitting the open targets.

Lions' Frank Ragnow Out for Year
Rag now out for the season to ensure he’s healthy for next year. I agree with the decision this years a wash.

this draft seams trash. The Oregon defensive end doesn’t make as much of an impact as you’d expect. Maybe he picks it up later this year but he doesn’t seem like the Bosa’s, young or Garrett. The Qb’s don’t appear to be 1st overall picks either.

who’s the savior in this draft?

You dealing with a concussion 5 weeks later might be time to just retire. Think about your future

Kayvon definitely looks underwhelming at top. Not picking a safety top 3. I’m pretty much on Willis bangwagon now. He has highest upside, poor mans Vick. Sit behind Goff for a year and then implement a Ravens type offense when he’s ready

Poor man's Vick does not sound enticing at all.

Similar style QB. Super mobile/elusive with cannon arm. Willis is great athlete while Vick was uber athlete
Guess maybe Deshaun Watson could be better comparison

Deshaun is/was light years better than Vick. That would be a godsend for the Lions.

I would trade four firsts for Watson.

With this team? We aren’t one player away!

I’d trade 2 and they’d be contingent on his charges being dropped or him winning the case.

Example: if he’s put in jail any pick beyond the year he is arrested returns to us.

If that’s possible.

They have two Rams firsts and this sounds like a weak ass draft. Give up this year's and next year's firsts. They are not finding a better QB unless they sign Aaron Rodgers.

Of course, all this is assuming he can resume his career.

that’s a major concern. If there’s no guarantee his new jersey won’t be an Orange jump suit it’s not worth the risk.

On top of that what do we do with Goff? We had to extend Goff this year just to sign other people. I

don’t see how we make room for Watson this year. Maybe next years cap situation is much better. No idea.

They can cut some drad weight like Flowers in the offseason and Goff is only saddled on the books for one more year. You don't pass on Watson because Goff has one year left.
