@jppagetoo Ай бұрын

It's OK to question a new GM over the teams picks. Brad has had 3 drafts in a row where he has nailed it. Whatever he and the Lions scounting staff decide on is good enough for me. They have shown they can draft quality players, I have every reason to trust them now.

@robwark7554 Ай бұрын

It’s amazing to finally have full faith and trust in the leadership of this team.

@jppagetoo Ай бұрын

@@robwark7554Right? I remember so many drafts where after 3 years not a single drafted player was still on the roster and many were not even in the NFL anymore. The Lions were terrible at drafting. But, Brad has shown me he knows talent. Feels good to finally have my team make quality personnel decisions.

@Charleybones Ай бұрын

Agree that he hasnailed the last 3 drafts, but the Lions had high 1st round picks and multiple draft picks to work with in those years. This draft we are way back and have limited draft capital to work with. 8f BH can work his magic this year and draft even 2 first day starters in Positions of need, he will have knocked it out of the park. One thing he has not done to date is overpay for moving up for a draft pick, or allowing himself to get undercompensated for trading vack. He will also not mortgage away next years draft picks for one this year. Let's see how the master chef coojs this draft. Vikings GM, packers GM and Rams GM are all buttsore from deals with him. Other teams GM's are wary of doing deals with BH now. The onlybtije I think BH madexa bad deal is when he gave away Swift to the Eagles last season for a 5th round pick. Swift was and still is a top rb in the league, and he had another whole season on his rookie deal. Trading him to an NFC SB contender for a 5th round pick was abad deal.

@JonAlienAbides Ай бұрын

Except that Swift really didn't tip the scales for Philly and is now a Bear. @@Charleybones

@craigbaker9252 Ай бұрын

If the GM & HC do it right, our days of top 20-30 draft picks are done. That’s a product of on the field success. We Lions fans best get comfortable not drafting the most promising guys, but the guys at 30-60. Those guys are guys that can be developed. As well as the late round picks. Look at Malcolm Rodriguez, guys a solid pick that does whatever is asked, and would likely be a solid starter on other teams. We need those kind of guys, on both sides of the ball and if rockstar special teamer comes up take him. Good luck Madman Brad and company, go find us a couple nuggets Brad. One Pride.

To KNOW who you're picking, you have to KNOW they'll be there. To know exactly who he's drafting, he'd either have to trade up or have a script that tells him so.
