"I know I can find an Alvin Kamara in round 3." 6:22 Really? Why doesn't every team have a Kamara? Detroit picked Swift in Round 2... is he Kamara? He's pretty injured compared to Kamara. The longer you wait to draft a RB the less likely you are to hit gold. Can you find a great RB later? Sure, but you may have to go through 9 bums before you find that 1 stud.

True but I think the point is that it's easier to find productive RB (and MLB and TE) on day 2 and day 3 than difference makers on the d-line. That's not even arguably. We have years or draft data to support that position. But it's just different draft philosophies. Holmes is drafting and building a team.

The first 4 picks for the Lions are day 1 starters or atleast starting caliber (Branch might sit behind CJGJ on the depth chart but he'll see snaps in the first game of the season no doubt). Gibbs and Campbell are self explanatory, LaPorta is 100% starting at tight end if you keep up with his game and Branch is self explanatory in terms of just raw ability and smarts, he's a star safety (not the popular kind, if you know you know). Lions are in that part of their process where they need day 1 impact starters and they got them. This whole positional value bs will be an afterthought in a month.

In ‘93 he missed a few games at the end of the year. I believe it was an MCL injury. It was especially upsetting for me because my first game I went to was the season finale that season, which they won to win the division, but I didn’t get to watch Barry play. I think it was 4 or 5 games he missed, but that was the only injury in his career. Barry’s playing style was different than what Florio was referring to. He never got hit, so dealing with all those car wrecks didn’t apply to Barry like it applied to Emmitt and Beast Mode.

To me taking a top RB in the first round isn't as bad as some people think but it also is as bad as some people think. Here's what I mean, you will have this RB on the cheap for 5 years with the fifth year option a first round pick is given. But again you will usually only have him for about 5 years because of the wear and tear on his body, so you can't look at him as a 10 year player, so not a foundational piece like a QB edge player or a LT.

Not taking Bijan at 6 and getting Gibbs and LaPorta in return, will prove so much more for this offense, as Swift had not panned out, beeded to go and LaPorta is a genuine tackle breaking tight end, who is ultra dynamic. Both Gibbs and LaPorta are instant starters in this offense and in addition, Gibbs will be a great kick-off returner, if Dan chooses to use him that way, like he did in his college.

Gibbs is gonna catch a ton of short passes (and YAC them) and he is going to avoid the big piles where injuries are more likely to happen. Montgomery is going to take those runs and that "wear and tear". Also, Gibbs fits Goff's strengths perfectly. In many ways, Gibbs spans two positions and can be thought of as a WR/RB flex position. Also, the Lions taking Gibbs is like me ordering and happily eating the BETTER Culver's hamburger when everyone else is talking about how great Five Guys is.

So let me explain it to you, the traded swift for a younger healthier and cheaper talent. They trade down and passed on Robinson because they got there cow bell running back in Montgomery. By trading back they got both their replacement for swift and hock.

This shows the Lions do understand what they are doing in building a team.

@@MyDemonsJourney Still not making sense. Gibbs on paper is better than Swift, but we've seen flashes of Swift being excellent. Swift is still very young and capable. The Lions also don't seem to understand positional value. They could have drafted Jalen Carter, Paris Johnson, Tyree Wilson, Darnell Wright, Peter Skoronski, or Broderick Jones, but instead they took a RB that probably would have been there at pick 18 and even later. Then they take Sam LaPorta, which imo wasn't even close to the best tight end available at 34. The Lions likely could've drafted Broderick Jones at 12, Jahmyr Gibbs at 18, and Jack Campbell at 34. Sam LaPorta would have been available at 45 (although taking Branch there would be the better move).

@WoJack Horseman so the idea of positional vaule is stupid when most guys are bust. Draft the guys that will work for your team (the public has been brainwashed and condition to think one way and we people go against that it's called reaching despite the fact we only have less then half the info) Gibbs was the #1 back on alot of boards LaPorta was the top te on alot of boards So for you to think they could of taken both of them later shows you didn't pay attention. Sean Payton and Andy Reid knew Mahomes was special and spread misinformation to try and get him, which is why he was the 3rd QB drafted. So to sit there and assume there was a better pick at 18 is Ludacris without all the information the teams have

IMO - I believe the Lions assumed that Bijan was going to be there at 12 after trading down from 6. ATL surprised everyone and The Lions took their second best choice

Who are all you novice tv analysist to say that someone should go 8 spots lower or higher. What do you know? We see how that worked out for mayock. You guys dont know squat. You opinons shouldnt be validated either. You are highlight watchers and that is it. Some of the takes are just crazy. Whatever.
