Anyone an ESPN insider? I'm interested in who McShay has us picking in his Mock 3.0. ***Beware the Lions***

[top dawg]

I am sitting here contemplating reinstating my ESPN Mag account to become an Insider again. But I still have probably a half dozen Mags that I haven't read. Anyway...anyone know who McShay has us taking?  I may not know who he has mocked to us, but I can tell you that he has Mike Evans going to the Lions. The Lions.

 

Imagine: Calvin Jonson  split right, Mike Evans split left, and 6'6" Kris Durham in the slot.  

 

If you want to take it a step further...imagine Cap or White...

 

Whoa!

Detroits economy should be booming in no time now that they've successfully cloned a 6'5" WR

Changed it before you even posted. Ha!    Maybe not. Anyway. Let's not miss the point here.

[Shermdog]

I read he had us taking Kelvin Benjamin.

Evans might be the closest thing. :P

[top dawg]

Yeah I know he had us taking Benjamin with his last mock. I was just wondering if it's the same.

[WOW!!]

Yeah I know he had us taking Benjamin with his last mock. I was just wondering if it's the same.

Yes it's the same.

[Cary Kollins]

So Stafford will have Evans and Megatron.

 

 

Dear God can you imagine.

[carolina-chuck]

Mike Evans is going to improve Detroit's D dramatically.

[top dawg]

So Stafford will have Evans and Megatron.

 

 

Dear God can you imagine.

 

And don't underestimate Kris Durham in the middle probably devouring the leftovers. 

 

And we may re-sign Munnerlyn, and we're bringing in Jason Verrett.  I don't really want Munchkins book-ending our backfield. Perhaps Munnerlyn would be the Nickel guy, but so what in that type of scenario.

 

I don't know how I feel about Brandon Browner, but he is on the radar.  Hopefully Melvin White makes a leap in the off-season. I just don't know about anyone else.  Perhaps we can get McGill or Jean-Baptiste in the draft. Just thinking of us dealing with the Bears and the Evans-empowered-Lions gives me some anxiety.  At this point, our pass rush would be our only saving grace.

If a no2 wr is that big of a problem in Detroit, why not just go sign Nicks?

WR is not the problem. How can you not win games with probably the all time no2 best receiver to ever play this game?

Detroit's problem is defense and not being balanced enough offensively.

Passing league this, passing league that. Cut that crap out. At the end of the day, the teams that can run the ball (balanced offense) and plays defense win.

This mock is like a worse case scenario for us. Has 5 cb, ot, and wr taken before our pick.

I fundamentally agree with you, but the Lions figure that they have enough to push the envelope right now.  They hired what many people consider to be a solid, if not good, coach.  They have a solid defense, but for some weaknesses in the secondary.  CC, they think that they can win NOW, and with the pieces that they have in place they could be right.  If Evans is still sitting their at number 10, and you know that you already have Stafford, Megatron and Bush locked up for a few years---and you can add another potential 6'5" beast into the mix---then picking Evans becomes real easy.

I know right? That's a beast of a line up. Don't forget they have rookie 6'7" Joseph Fauria as a weapon as well.
