NFL Draft rounds 4-7 [open thread]

Submitted by Magnus on

Jake Ryan is still available. I'm interested to see whether anyone takes a chance on Devin Gardner.

Let the fun begin again!

Would love to see the Lions give him a shot...in addition, which DT should they target? Can they trade up into round 4? Would also love to see them spend round 7 on the kicker from ND, he is a beast, and a hometown (Canton) kid.

I've read this week that Michigan has the longest streak of a player being drafted in the NFL draft.

Is that streak in danger next year? Who do we think has a shot at being drafted in 2016?

Countess seems like a near-lock to at least get drafted, provided he recovers even a bit from this past year.  He has good measurables and its a position that teams are always going to be looking to fill.  Also, I could see Pipkins get a chance late in the draft a la Campbell because he has the 5* pedigree and showed flashes between injuries.

I'm not thrilled with any of the picks but at least they are drafting needs instead of taking tight ends who can't catch in the first round.

this is one of the best drafts ive seen from them...trade back and get two o line, stay put and get best player on ur board at position if need w abdullah, then trade up using a piece from their 1st round move to get a big physical corner, now jump up an entire round to get a guy projected 2-3 at a fair price considering the suh comp pick next year.

Yeah, I don't get the hate.  Considering Rob Sims is an overpaid putz, moving back in the first round and getting the best OG in the draft is a great move.  And Manny Ramirez is a great insurance policy for anywhere on the interior O-line.  People demanded a DT but OG was just as big a need.

And anyone who complains wasting a second-round pick on Titus Young and his character issues has no right to bitch about the first two picks here.  By all accounts Tomlinson and Abdullah are as high on the character scale as it gets.  I don't think RB is a position of much need but it's not like we're stacked, either.  This is a solid draft.  It's not flashy, but I like it so far.

Nice to see the Lions making moves today to get the guys they want. I don't think we'll see any great picks from them, but they're at the point where it's about adding depth. Plus this is a guy who already took shoots at Fairley back when he committed to Auburn.

Jake Ryan getting some love from Kiper. 4th on his best available. 

Other than the Gabe Wright pick, I'm not very happy with this draft for the Lions.

The Ramirez trade was still stupid, but Tomlinson is a helluva of a guard and extremely intelligent.(Double degree in evolutionary anthropology and psychology at Duke) Abdullah is a soild RB. Carter is the only one I have not come around on. Seems like an average player to me.
