Kirby Joseph was one of my favorite ‘22 safeties. I’ll tell ya what… I love this Lions team. So many guys I liked (I wasn’t alone in liking them). They are electric and fun. La Porta has been great and Mayer has been solid as well. This was such a good potential draft class for us and we blew it on so many levels. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I loved LaPorta, I still think Mayer would have been a better fit for this team due to Mayer's blocking ability to assist our sketchy OT's going into the year. I especially felt that once they missed on OL in the first round where all the decent tackles went. Mayer can do it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar1156 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Do whatever ever you got do to get OT Olu Fashanu. Howell is our guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinzplay Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Draft ammo. Good ammo. And RR will have nothing to do with who we pick. I think it moved. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Star pass rusher is a bit hyperbole. He's never had double digit sacks or made a Pro Bowl. He's not even a top 5 pass rusher in his own division. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I'd take a 3rd for Chase at this point and I'm a fan of his. Get more picks! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could pick one up with 1 of our 2nd round picks(hopefully 3 of them), Young is not worth 20m+ a year in my opinion. Toohill can take 1 of the spots, won't get as many sacks but he won't lose contain every other play either.

Extending him is the only way to achieve this and I'd be stunned if he and his agent will be willing to take less than what they could possibly get in free agency.

markmills67 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Have the Bears paid the rest of Sweat's 5m or so for remainder of this season? or have we agreed to pay it to make sure we got a 2nd round pick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the money is the issue. The question now becomes: Do we need to take him hostage (fancy way for saying use the tag) or will he want to re-sign here on his own accord... Given that Sweat has been moved we can easily keep him with the tag now with no issues or backend concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazedSkinsfan Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 So I'm stuck at work and can't keep up with the action today but after the trades we'll have two 2nd and 3rd round picks for this upcoming draft is that correct?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Skins Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Kind of. The second 3rd is the 49ers comp pick, so effectively a 4th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is in the 3rd round, therefore it's effectively a 3rd round pick. The 4th round starts with the 1st pick in the 4th round. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesMadisonSkins Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 At least it will be an exciting draft prep season with 5 picks in the Top 100. Hate to root for us to lose out. Honestly would be kind of funny if we somehow backdoored into the playoffs in a mediocre NFC. I think Howell is/could be the guy for one more year. Unless we somehow end up with the #1 or #2 pick, that 1st rounder is going to be earmarked for OL regardless of where it is. And I would another of the 2/2/3/3 will go to the OL as well.
