Why would the Lions want to trade Decker though. I’d assume they’d want to protect whatever QB they end up with.

I think you're right of course that guys you could expect to replace a healthy Fisher on day one with little to no drop off are certainly going top ten. Problem is, nobody in the NFL is going to trade a guy like that for even a #32 because then they'd be in the same situation. So you can pay top dollar for one in FA, or you can draft a guy that you hope can be serviceable to begin with, learn fast, and get to Fisher's level quickly. I think a kid like Jalen Mayfield has all the tools, but only two years of playing. I think if he had one more year in college, he'd be a top ten pick. If we were to nab him, we'd have to hope we could coach him up and speed up that process. It's not ideal, but I don't know what better option there is. |

I think they're going to have to get a FA tackle somewhere, whether in actual FA or retaining one of our guys. Niang better be ready to go after opting out. No excuses. |

Damnit. I really wanted a Jaelen Phillips type as I felt we were one more pass rusher away from a dominant defense. Of course, I kind of like that kid from Pitt maybe in the third. |

You don't change your draft board. If you have an OT on your board now and he's there, take him sure. But you don't move lesser guys up just because Fisher is hurt. Stick to the draft board. Fill needs in free agency, even if they have to be cheap or stop gap moves. Eventually, that need will coincide with the strength of the draft board and you can make your move. |

There will be good OL available in the 2nd round. Maybe this means you use some of the Chiefs' comp pick draft capital to move up a bit in the second to make sure they can land their guy there.

OT is the deepest position in this draft class. There will probably be 15 selected in the first 2 days. |

Yeah, this is a great OT class. Guys like Abraham Lucas, Spencer Brown, Dillon Radunz, Walker Little would be sure-fire top 40 picks in a lot of drafts. It’s why I’m good with DE/WR, still, at 32 (though I suspect the OT situation may work out there).

Veach got him for a reason and there's no way that Bill O'Brien's coaching staff got the best from him. |

I think the inevitable run on T’s in the 1st will make it very difficult to take one at 31/32 unless we’re reaching for one of those guys.
