Last day of the 2020 NFL Draft has arrived, and there are a few rumors and tidbits floating around about what the Lions will do with their four picks today. Check them our below in this running thread:
My Take: This makes too much sense not to happen. Someone grabbing Hill in next 4 picks ...
My Take: Odds Lions stay put seems pretty good with only one pick in each round and most needs filled out.. Once they make their pick at 109, if it is WR or DL, I think we are strictly getting a Punter and depth after Rd 4 ins complete.
My Take: Unless they go in the first three picks of Rd 4, I have a real hunch the Lions will take Anae or one of the Senior Bowl WRs in Hill or Gandy-Golden. The addition of Okwara should not deter taking a swing at Anae, he knocked it out of the park at the Senior Bowl and did really well with the coaching from the Lions.
My Take: Lets open up with the bizarre reaction of Houston Texans coach/GM Bill O'Brien getting all bent out of shape at his computer while the team was on the clock at the #90 in the third round. Apparently, O'Brien claims that the he had a deal with the Lions, but that they backed out. That happens all the time even though Quinn said they didn't have a deal, so I am thinking that O'Brien overreacted and was forced to make a pick he wasn't prepared for. The bigger question I have is who were the Lions looking to move back into the latter picks of round 3 for? They already moved up to grab Jonah Jackson at #75, so unless O'Brien missed that they Lions worked a deal with the Colts instead 25 minutes earlier, they were sniffing around to move back up again. Looking at what picks have been made, the Lions still need a WR, DT and could always use more depth at Edge/DE and OL. Guess we will find out soon enough.
