Could Mike Adams slip all the way to the 3rd round?

Would love Vinny Curry or Konz to replace Raiola. best CB available is also a thought. LaVonte David would be ok as well.

Just depends who Mayhew has graded out the highest I suppose

pick is Ryan Broyles, and that means Burleson is one and done

Love Broyles, exceptional underneath WR. Woudl have gone higher if not for tearing his ACL in early November, and once he left Landry Jones went from top 5 pick in '12 to a 3rd rounder in '13

I don't know about this. I think they're overvaluing the fact that a good CB will drop til the 3rd.

Jeff how can you like this???? We have so many other needs, there has to be something else in the works, right?

projected 4-5th round!?

Why are they looking to replace Nate. He did perfectly fine with what we asked him to do. There is no need to replace him at this point with so many other holes that need filled

Look long-term here guys. Burleson is now done after this year for a younger, cheaper, better version of him. Broyles is a quicker young Derrick Mason, literally always open between 5 and 15 yards. Lions now have their 3 WR base offense covered for the next three years w/ CJ, Young, and Broyles. Cover that, NFC North!

As for corner, the team is really high on signee Jacob Lacey. I don't necessarily agree but my opinion doesn't matter there.

Its not a bad pick. WR depth is a real issue.
