OT: With the 3rd pick in 2020 NFL Draft the Detroit Lions select?

Submitted by Yessir on December 17th, 2019 at 6:41 PM

We are currently picking 5th.  

Lions 3-10-1

NYG, WASH, MIA 3-11

Bengal 1-13

I expect Lions to lose out and end up with 3 wins   

So Skins play the Giants so 1 of those teams will go to 4 wins and we would move to 4th.  

The Dolphins play Cincinnati so they will most likely go to 4 wins as well putting us in the 3rd spot.

The Skins have been playing better and finish vs Dallas in Dallas.  Doubt they win but could put us 2nd spot as long as NYG beat Skins when they play   

So who do we take?  Trade out for picks and players?

Some dude that would have gone in the fifth-round, but Quinn heard the Pats were going to take with their first pick.

Well i fully expect them to get the number 2 pick and get Chase Young. But if they miss out on that they should get the DT from Auburn Derrick Brown

That’s a terrible idea. First, it’s almost never a good idea to take any RB that high. Second, the Lions have a lot of other needs to fill. Third, there have been some promising looking guys this year that are hurt. You work with them first. And if you really think you need a new guy, you draft one on day two or sign a free agent. There are dozens of decent RBs that are interchangeably serviceable out there.

Regardless, whomever they select will either:

1. Get injured in training camp or OTAs

2. Get injured badly enough during the season to be put on IR

3. Show up out of shape and have a lackluster season

4. Not be as good as the Lions talent evaluators think and have a lackluster season.

They just can't get it right.

5. Be a head case who prioritizes smoking pot

6. Be head case who shoots himself in the leg

7. Under perform for the Lions, get traded for a player in the twilight of his career, become an all-pro for some other team

8. Be an all-time great at his position and retire early because it just isn't worth it any more

We all know the Lions chief problem is their poor kicking game since the retirement of Jason Hanson, the best Lion to ever play the game.

who was the last guy the lions drafted where a few years later you said, "wow, that turned out to be a great pick?".

stafford took a few years to be solid.  my pick would be Suh.  how many years ago was that?

Do the lions have any all pro caliber players?
