Draft tomorrow folks. It's that time of the year when the most desperate of fanbases pray for a savior. Let us break bread and talk about our squads.
Detroit Lions
Last season was somewhat of a predictable disaster. We lost most of our d-line to free agency, including a top 5 defensive tackle in Suh. Then our best LB (DeAndre Levy) missed the entire season due to a mysterious injury. And on the offensive side of the ball our o-line imploded with injuries and shit play. Thankfully we fired our offensive coordinator, shitcanned his zone blocking scheme, and are back to playing power. The line improved in the last few games.
Needs (1st Round)
1. D-Line or O-Line
I really want a premier d-line. Ziggy Ansah is one of the best DEs in the league and had a great season last year for us. Of course I'm salivating at the possibility of getting Shaq Lawson. But I'd probably take a DT over a DE, given how weak our DTs are. Don't care if it's one of the DTs from Alabama or Sheldon Rankins...there's a lot of depth and I'll be happy with any of them.
In terms of the o-line I'm not really well versed enough on any of the tackles. Saw Jack Conklin play a lot at MSU and if he's still there at 16 I'd be fine with that, but I see lots of Lions bloggers who aren't sold on him. Lots of people don't seem to like Taylor Decker (OSU) either. Perhaps getting an o-lineman in the second round would make more sense, dunno.
Depth (2nd-7th round)
O-line or d-line depending on what we do in the 1st round. Definitely need depth at LB. Getting a DE in the second round would be cool, especially if the guy from MSU is still on the board. Definitely need a safety as well.
In terms of WRs I'd love to get Aaron Burbridge in a later round. He'd be amazing in our offense; great hands, YAC monster.
