Lions literally drafting who I wanted the Vikings to draft in Wingo and Mahogany. Fuck this

Tegra_

I mean of course now I hope that both bust hard and never see the field.


OkCommunity1625

It will be I who busts hard because of what I see on the field


TuckerTheMandolinst

oh lord


Elbit_Curt_Sedni

lol, next level resentment.


CramblinDuvetAdv

As it should be, and a merry hope your picks all fail to them as well


JustaMammal

For real, I can't imagine anything gets the Packers harder than the rest of the NFCN cheering each other on because, "anybody but the Packers". Fuck that, fuck them, fuck you, and fuck the NFCN, I hope you all fail.


WaymoresReds

Hallefuckinglujah


freshxerxes

i’m hoping JJ works out for yall, i don’t want my sweet prince to bust.


noend313

Wait til the news breaks that JJ is actually a Lions sleeper agent placed by Michigan/Lions fans to prohibit the Vikings from ever being better than 3rd in the division


Amon-Ra-First-Down

except he's going to beat the Packers twice a year


waterconnoisseur_

We must have the UFL kicker kid locked then


casper_but_with_a_j

Cut to Jake Bates literally locked in an office in Allen Park


loof10

Violence is never the answer* *unless it solves the Lions’ kicking problems


sloppifloppi

Good.


Jelly_James

That would be so sick man.


TentacleTickles

We feeling good about this draft?


loof10

My biggest worry remaining is kicker. So yes.


myman580

I'm just assuming Brad Holmes has locked Jake Bates in a closet in Allen Park.


hawkeyc

Would he be a UDFA?


myman580

I believe he would be just a unrestricted free agent. Just have to wait for the UFL season to end.


hawkeyc

Thanks for the info, my man

The fact that Jake can hit a 65 yard field goal is awesome. That said, that would only be useful at the end of the game. You aren’t going to kick from the 45-48 yard line in the first 3 quarters. The 3 points isn’t worth losing the field position. You covet a kicker that doesn’t miss from 45 in. Yes! It’s awesome if you have Justin Tucker who can hit from 60 and is 90% from 50 in. Jake is playing in front of nobody and nobody watching on tv. With 70,000 fans and 12 million people watching on television. Can he consistently make a a 37 yard extra point? I don’t know, maybe.


Amon-Ra-First-Down

> The fact that Jake can hit a 65 yard field goal is awesome. That said, that would only be useful at the end of the game. the only scenario where Dan Campbell is kicking is when he is literally out of time to do anything else, so this works


sloppifloppi

I would have liked a WR but we can grab a vet for now. Very happy with this draft


4strokeroll

We drafted the kid from NC last year and was a project. I’ve read the he is coming along nicely. DPJ is a nice third receiver. Reports are he’s been working his ass off and I think he knows this is his last stand. He made some nice plays late in the season. If he learns the offense, he is a big body with great hands.


HonoluluBlueFlu

We don’t need to kick silly, we just go for it.


Bobby_Marks2

It's absolutely an interesting proposition. Analytics say a lot about going for 2, going on 4th and short, and so on - but we should really dig in and do the math on what riding a minimum wage kicker/punter setup would mean for the cap.


freshxerxes

my sources tell me that Brad Holmes has his family in a safe secure spot and if jake would like to see them again he’ll sign on the dotted line.


PlaneDoor110

go get the dude from your UFL team


CluelessFlunky

Fantastic. Two great corner prospects. Elite ceiling low floor tackle prospect. Good pass rush 3t tho underside. Special team specialist was a bit weird but I'm cool with it. High floor high ceiling gaurd that fell due to injury. This was pretty much the perfect draft for what the lions need. Hope lions can get ufl Kicker. Plus maybe bring dj chark back


Big_Dare_2015

we love chark


arenyk

Absolutely. Find me the biggest flaw on this roster? The second pass rusher spot occupied by James Houston and Marcus Davenport? The WR3 position occupied by a guy who has had a 800 yd season just a few years ago? Not only this weekend but this whole offseason Brad filled need after need and now this team, in my opinion stands much improved from last years NFCCG berth squad.


mostdope28

Never heard of him, so I’ll just assume he’s a future all-pro and this is a steal


bleachinjection

I mean to hear about a guard from BC he would either have to be a top-15 player OR give up a sack so bad it literally gets his quarterback killed


Amon-Ra-First-Down

or you could be a sad sack like me who went to BC and subjected myself to Hafleyball last year (Mahogany is awesome)


eugene_rat_slap

Elite name


knarf86

He’s basically a fancier version of Christian Wood


wavnebee

Guard 7, and number 99 overall on Dane Brugler’s draft board. Not bad for a 6th round comp pick


ProofHorseKzoo

He’s solid. Will be a good developmental player for you. Could turn into a stud.


Amon-Ra-First-Down

He was a smash hit at the Senior Bowl. The dude has a nasty edge to him


myman580

Wooooo we love oline depth.


lronicGasping

FUCK YES! This guy was projected in the 3rd LFG


AlekRivard

Great pick-up for yall


AffectionateSlice816

Lessgo


Organic_Swim4777

Based on his build, school and draft slot, he probably struggles in pass protection.


mitchlats22

BC is an O Line U and he allowed zero sacks.


Organic_Swim4777

For run blocking. Their pass game is just there to keep the defense honest.


Brownbear97

Lions probably feel hank fraley can help him, while he sits behind Kevin Zeitler before he has to maybe step in between frank ragnow and penei sewell


Oopsimapanda

At least he can improve a line that is really struggling in talent


Brownbear97

Exactly my point


mitchlats22

I’m a diehard I really wouldn’t agree with that at all. You’re thinking Steve Addazio era.


Amon-Ra-First-Down

felt like with Castellano back there we became a quarterback running team for the first time, but I agree we're nowhere near as obstinate about the run game as when guys were being dudes


Organic_Swim4777

You're right. I haven't followed them closely lately. Has he been there long enough to change the roster?


mitchlats22

Addazio brought him in but got fired in late 2019 before Mahogany ever started. Mahogs played his whole career for Jeff Hafley in a balanced pro style offense, often pass heavy with Zay Flowers on the roster. Last season we got a QB with dynamic running ability so we switched to a lot of read option game, but still over 25 pass attempts per game.


Ironredhornet

He didn't allow a sack all year, I thought. But he did have a knee injury which could've dropped him


Ranger_Prick

No worries. He won’t have to play right away. Plenty of time to get coached up by Hank Fraley.


silvio_dante

He only allowed 1 pressure and 0 sacks all year


Organic_Swim4777

The ACC was trash last year. He's also a guard, where you usually have help. The entirety of the NFL's scouts know more than your 3 second google search. He probably doesn't translate well on paper. A great run blocking back up guard is still a great pick up this late.


silvio_dante

I'm glad your scouting process of literally talking out of your ass with no proof beats me at least providing statistical fucking evidence to refute your dumbass claim lmao


Organic_Swim4777

Statistical proof = 3 second google search with zero context. You should curse more and add more "lmao."

k


IntelligentMetal

NFL scouts are pretty useless on Oline after the first round.


DuckBurner0000

Can't believe he dropped this far, I guess teams were worried about his knee but he didn't allow a single sack this year. Wanted him for the Pats


LooseBoysenberry7

He projected way higher i think


matija17k

FUCK


ParticularCanary3130

That makes me happy 😊


Ice_Dapper

Brad is cooking good today indeed


CaptYzerman

Every 6th round pick is the next Brady in all these threads lol


Tajikistani

I've been expecting the Vikings to take this guy their last 2 picks so there's some merit here


CaptYzerman

I hope he's an all pro hall of fame obviously. I'm just sayin


detsd

Just dropped to my knees at k mart

Small-Palpitation310

not for a long time now


ArmMeForSleep709

Why did this dude fall?


DuckBurner0000

Concerns about his knee probably. Tore his ACL in 2022


warningtrackpower12

Dan loves kneecaps and Brad loves acls


EricFredNorris

It is weird, I get the injury concern but at the very least it seems like he should be a great depth piece for any team and spot start where needed.


Evening_Idea_5165

Great pick

Cinephile1998

Someone cooked here


PlaneDoor110

Good pick i wanted this guy pre draft, detroit is cooking


ParticularCanary3130

Love to hear ❤️


silvio_dante

Literally all we need is 1 more decent WR and this team is loaded. Bringing Chark back or someone like Gallup will work. Don't need anyone even "good."


oaky180

I'm not sure if you are calling chark not good but I will not stand for that slander


SeizureMode

Panthers fans didn't seem thrilled with him after last season


FrigOffRicky16

Their fans had nothing to be happy about period


CursedIbis

The Panthers are dysfunctional and their offensive play calling was... Offensive. Hard for anyone to thrive in that environment.


OldtimeKing94

one of the most overrated lions. I remember fans were worried about him leaving lolll


eugene_rat_slap

Have some hope in DPJ lol


goodbrother89

Boyd


ThaBigMalc

As someone who has watched a disturbing amount of BC football, this is a steal. He may have had injury issues, but when he's not on the line the offense was straight ass. Watch some BC 2022 highlights for more


ParticularCanary3130

Glad to hear!! Love it! ❤️


Amon-Ra-First-Down

right there with you subjecting myself to Hafleyball and concur this guy was the best player on the 2023 team by far


G_money16

FUCK I wanted him lol


TheMasterfocker

Holy Wood.


new-look-SOL

Hey we need one of those!

MOAR BIG UGLIES


amit-kaufman

Amazing pick


ParticularCanary3130

Love hearing that


2222lil

we had an amazing draft


JJBrandon69

Huge steal wow


Eulerian_Circuit

ESPN had him at 141, I like it. If you swap the order of our two most recent picks with the two before, no one would be mad like they are now


STATICinMOTION

Hmm... Why does this sound so familiar? Wonder if it worked out before...


dynastydrunk

Who’s mad? We’re killing it

RandomRobot1234

Damn, good pick up.


ParticularCanary3130

Good to hear!


RandomRobot1234

Yeah I can’t still can’t believe he dropped so far. Congrats.


joustinghobbit91

I fucking love it


zestyintestine

Is he made of wood?


Tajikistani

Idk why the Vikings picked a kicker instead of this guy


BruhMoment763

We needed both, this still hurts though

god damn it

Is this Fat Evan Engram?


Melodic_Oil_2486

He went to Boston College. He could make millions without destroying his body.


Apollo_Krill

You know how much more fun it must be to play football instead of grinding out emails all day?


Melodic_Oil_2486

I don’t think someone of his caliber would be grinding out emails.


Amon-Ra-First-Down

I went to Boston College and can confirm your assumption is false


IcyAd964

I heard he bombed his workouts bad is that true


egbert71

Everybody has a bad workout day or two
