Personally I'm just hoping the Lions don't poop the bed here. And for our Michigan guys to go somewhere good for them.

I love the Bortles pick! Guy has earned everything in his career. I think he has the mindset to really improve himself.

I'm going to practice.
"WTF?!?!?!? I can't believe that [trained NFL personnel who know their teams intimately, have scouted these players for years, and are evaluated by their draft performance] just picked [Player A]. It's obvious [to me, a guy with no training, experience, or expertise] that they should have drafted [Player B]. Season over. Fire the bums now."
I used to do that stuff, but I'm done. I have no idea which of these picks will turn out well.

The Browns are building a winner with pics...two firsts in back to back years will really allow them to build a winner. Lets see what their picks are, but I love the way they are doing business

Sans Watkins, hopefully the Lions trade back. Evans and Tate are redundant, so let's move back. We don't desperately need one single position. Unless we're making a move to trade with Buffalo, we're good. Trade back.

The Lions have Houston, Bentley, and Slay. I don't see them spending a high first rounder on a position where they gave a guya big extension and another 2nd rounder(Slay). Safety they have Quin and the dude from Baltimore. I think Dix is a better fit than the corners.

 

I'd also look out for Anthony Barr. The Lions wanted a speedrusher sat OLB and Barr fits the bill.

Browns throw shade at Manziel and go with Gilbert, CB, Oklahoma St. to go opposite Haden.

Lions need to be trading down ASAP!
