Dont they have a really good Left Tackle already?

Lions need everything. On the first post in this thread, i had them loving Waddle, heard the same thing today. No one knows due to new coach and GM, but the best guess is they want tough players that play hurt and Waddle fits that at least.

I can not confirm it. Thats another dirty secret about most Bama players, they constantly play hurt and medicals always look awful. Part due to leadership and part due to not wanting to lose their spot. 

I wish the information form those 160 combine would be public, cause I know come draft time, thousands of fans will be screaming " DRAFT ______ HES A STEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!". Ive done it, but the main reason for the falling is medicals or terrible off-field stuff. This year it will happen much more. 

It's absolutely this.

Saban does not give one single fug about his players. He's here to win. If you're injured he'll just slot the next 5 star in off the conveyor belt and you've lost your starting role.

I've no idea how they've kept the thing going (baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaags) because besides winning a lot it sounds like a brutal experience that doesn't actually prepare you for the NFL at all. Most of their players are maxed out in college. 

Contrast this to the greatest College in your fair land and you have Calais Campbell going to bat for Greg Rousseau. A true brotherhood. But then it's a Canes thing, you wouldn't understand. 😉

North Carolina State was having a second pro day today, surmising gaining momentum for defensive tackle Alim McNeill. The pro day just finished and the object of attraction was in fact McNeill, who is getting solid third-round grades from teams. 

The Jacksonville Jaguars were on hand for McNeill’s “pro day.” While some believe the Jaguars could take a defensive tackle with their second pick in the first round, I continue to hear it is more likely to be McNeill or Tommy Togiai of Ohio State in the third frame.

 

@45catfan nooooooo..... Now im a tad nervous

Really?  McNeill was one of the guys you didn't have a 3rd round grade on?  Like R-E-A-L-L-Y?????????  I had a cusp 2nd/3rd on him.  Not sure how much research you have done on him, but he's like he 2nd NT off the board.  He's THE BEST pass rushing NT in the class.

Hes one the guys in the 4th for me, also more of a 3-4 DE too. Thats what Im banking on for part of this bet, 3-4, odd fonts, are sooo hawt right now....  Going to closer than I like, but Id still make the bet today...

8-3 last year. Baby steps in the right direction.

No doubt it looks like UNC & Miami for the Coastal for the next 5 years. 
 

I’m curious, why is Brevin Jordan a projected 3rd rounder? When I’ve watched him, he’s looked like a game breaker.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
