Ya I mean seemed like a long shot, we already mortgaged our future 1sts. I was happy with Lance tbh. Of the 3 guys we had to choose from he was my favorite. He's a taller Russel Wilson

I just can't believe we took Etienne at 25

I mean, I can, it just doesn't bode well for our FO's roster construction ability

At least, I don't think we'd have gone for anyone taken after him, so we can still get someone at 33 we would have at 25, but still.

I think ettienne will be the best back in this draft, better than harris. But generally it is not a good idea to draft a rb in the first round especially when you already have good one. just ask seattle about rashaad penny..

Or Jacksonville about Leonard Fournette

I do like Etienne, and I think it'll be fun to watch him and Robinson, cause he adds a different dimension to the offense, and running back by committee works well

It's just not something you spend a first round pick on, especially when you have one of the worst defenses in the league, no safeties to speak of, and arguably the worst pass blocking tackle duo in the league.

No way José!

To move up from #20 to #9, the Bears gave a 2022 first-round pick, a 2021 fifth-round pick and a 2022 fourth-round pick. I guess the Lions thought drafting a OL at #7 was better than that deal.

Sewell is a generational prospect at the line. His size mixed with athleticism gives him really high upside. Smart decision by the Lions

I am still laughing about the raiders, why do they reach every year? It’s so crazy to me that they don’t learn

Speaking of good idea's....


A) 3rd overall pick, 2022 1st, 2023 1st, 3rd Rounder = Trey Lance

B) 11th overall pick, 2022 1st, 4th Rounder, 5th Rounder = Justin Fields

C) 15th overall pick = Mac Jones


Had the Niners stayed put at 12 & swapped picks with Dallas (at 10) to take either Fields or Mac, they would have only had to have given up a 3rd in the process (Philly/Dallas deal). More importantly, they would still have first round picks the next two years.

If Mac Jones was indeed their 2nd option (after Lance), then worst case, you take him at 12. Keep your picks.

Is Trey Lance that much better than both Fields & Jones to justify giving up all that draft capital?

Maybe? You figure only 2-3 of these QB's are going to pan out. As close as it may seem at draft time, there probably will be a significant gap over the course of their careers. If you get your guy and you're right, it's worth the capital.

I agree....49ers should have waited and seen how the draft played out, they acted too fast.

Same with Mia trading back up to 6, is waddle really > than devonta + a 1st rounder?

you have to let the draft come to you

agree Jags should go defense. But I can see why Steelers went with RB, they have struggled recently to draft a successful mid round RB (benny, mcfarland, just arent moving the needle). Steelers need to address O line with next 2 picks and they are good to go.

Unless the Jaguars become a run heavy offense in Trevor Lawrence rookie season, than they be might giving a lot of carries for both Robinson and Etienne. I am a little worried about how this going to be affect James Robinson on my fantasy teams. Some teams I have 5 good RB'S in 8 team leagues and for those teams I moved James Robinson to the bench.

Yup, I definitely take Sewell over what it took to get the 5th best QB prospect in the draft.

His father coached my brother this past season in high school football. Good family. Lions got a steal.

This is a classic Tom Cable pick. A guy with a big frame that struggles in Pass Pro. He'll play OT, but he's better suited to be a Guard full-time.

[Offensive lineman coach Tom] Cable has been all over him for months now.

Cable was a complete disaster here when he had input on guys coming out of the draft. Reaching for lineman & picks who we're considered project's year after year. They all had the same profile. Bust.

[hermes]

well i'll just be hanging in the background, the vikes don't have a pick in the second but everyone and their brother knows that rick wants to trade up to get one. so who knows

[Buzzard]

Trade in coming! Is Denver going for their QB? While the Falcons go for more depth/picks.

[Cactus Jack]

Hard to believe the best running back in the draft is still on the board, Ja'vonte Williams- University North Carolina. Thought the Bills would take him and glad they didn't.

Denver just got him.
