I think Ziggy Ansah is worth a top 5 pick IMO. He’s a freak athlete with a great motor and work ethic. He would be a great fit at LDE, and it would allow them to move Avril to the right side where he would be much less of a liability against the run.

I agree with you on Werner but Jordan IMO is worth a top 5 pick, just not at DE. He’s an OLB in either scheme. He can do a little bit of everything, and his ability to cover TE’s is very intriguing. He’s probably never going to be a great pass rusher, but his effect in other aspects of the game should make up for it. He’s going to end up becoming a rich man’s Manny Lawson, and would be a great fit as a 3-4 Sam. He’s a good player just not a fit for the Lions.

He can be the answer to all the problems TE’s have been giving NFL defenses.

I like reading everyones thoughts here. Good stuff

Smh. I feel really sorry for Jarvis. Hopefully in the future we will be able to fix this sort of thing.

Bottom line is the Lions are screwed. This whole thread has been over-thinking the solution. The answer is the Lions need players/upgrades at every position. We need better OL, DE, LB, CB, RB, etc.....so its not an easy problem to fix. Good luck to that front office!

My miracle off season:

Resign: C.Houston & Delmas

Sign: R.Bush, Levitre or Vasquez, S.Breaston

Draft:
1. Ziggy Ansah-DE/ Dee Milliner-CB
2. Jonathan Cyprien-SS/ M.Hunt or T.Carridine-DE
3. Nico Johnson - LB
4. TJ McDonald- FS
5. Manase Foketi - OL
6. Denard Robinson - WR/RB
7. Michael Mauti- LB (last pick- risk/reward)

My 2nd round pick is dependent on what I decide to do in the 1st.

I just whipped this together real quick. Obviously there will have to be more quantity of signings...and I'd also suggest there's no way this is gonna happen either. As you can see- im hoping for a mostly defensive draft...which I have been asking for, for like 3yrs straight now.

As of today this would be my ideal 4 round mock
1. Ezekiel Ansah DE BYU
2. Jonathan Cyprian SS FIU
3. Da’Rick Rodgers Tennessee Tech
5. Blaize Foltz G TCU

We don’t have a 4th right now because of the Tahir Whitehead trade. We might get a compensatory pick though because of Eric Wright.

Am I the only one who doesn’t really like Dee Milliner? He’s kind of stiff, lacks great speed (I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a 4.55 guy), and he doesn’t have ball skills. I like his physicality but he’s not an elite CB prospect. If he was in last year’s class he would have been rated as the 4th best CB.

IMO Desmond Trufant > Dee Milliner.

DBs run tomorrow IIRC

Milliner ran a 4.31 unofficially.

Yeah, wehen ducks reads this, we will have him rename it . i doubt anyone else will want it pinned, so just bump it when need be

Dear lions,

Please make this happen

We actually had goodnpractice squad receivers last year.
