How fun would a Pettigrew/Ebron/Fauria set be, with Bush and Bell in the backfield? The play action and mismatch possibilities are endless!

its his size, not a lot of ppl think he can take hits at the next level or his tactics of gettin away will work in the NFL. which are legit concerns. i see manzel taking Bree's and Wilson type path where he just makes all the teams regret not taking him

Shoot,I would move up and snag him if he falls much further.

I think I'm going to watch it from the gym so that when the Lions trade a ton of picks to get Watkins I can use that rage as fuel
Should be a wild ride this year, especially with the fluidity around where the QBs will go.
Your going to be so swole tomorrow. haha

Seriously though, this just feels like the FO didn't have a plan after Gilbert and Barr were gone, so we went for a shiny pass catcher. At some point Stafford needs to make a player better, instead of signing high profile FA's and draft picks.
God I hate this pick so much. Our defense is terrible, especially the secondary, and what do we do, get a TE

ajaX82 wrote:You guys are being way too dramatic. Giving Joe Lombardi, who has worked with Jimmy Graham for years, a very similar weapon? Talk about the perfect OC to utilize Ebron.
Our pass catchers were still lacking. CJ, Tate and then not much. We needed a guy for Stafford to throw to because it is a passing league. We still have picks past the first round...we will fill some holes, don't worry. Next year when our offense is off the chain we can bring this thread up and have a good chuckle.

not really, we paid him a sh* of guranteed money that's going to count against our cap, be hard pressed to trade him, so wasting this high of a pick especially when we have other needs would be dumb. Though we are trending towards dumb picks
