Packer Report on Lions Pick
Total projection for Lions. Being on turf should help. Told he has "no conception" how to play the game.

Move the Sticks has Lions trying to get out of the 5th pick

This round did not fall the way the Lions wanted it to. They were hoping one of the three offensive tackles would drop, and when they did not, they were trying to trade back.

So they took the very raw Ziggy Ansah. Jon Gruden or Ron Jaworski - the sound the same to me - is saying that this kid needs lots of work to be a pro. Not what the Lions really wanted to happen here.

BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Now watch them trade back into the end of the first round and give up a third rounder in order to over-reach on an offensive tackle or a safety.

MINGO!

Browns take Barkevious Mingo with Dion Jordan gone I guess.

Best name since Baskerville Holmes again I say

Strengths: Possesses a lean, athletic build with plenty of room for additional muscle mass. Has an explosive first step and the combination of flexibility and closing speed to exponentially add to his sack numbers in the more pass-happy NFL than he had while at LSU. Alert defender who will get his long arms into passing lanes when unable to get to the quarterback. More physical than his frame looks. Fights through blockers at the line of scrimmage to make plays in the running game and anchors surprisingly well given his lean lower half. Possesses as much upside as any prospect in the 2013 draft.
Weaknesses: Looks more like a small forward than an NFL defensive end and could be asked to make the transition to outside linebacker, a position he's never played. While possessing explosive straight-line speed, has very long legs, which make him less fluid when changing directions than ideal. Relies upon his burst upfield to beat pass blockers and simply hasn't developed the counter moves to complement his speed in three seasons of action, leading to some concerns that he won't.

Compares To: Bruce Irvin, DE, Seattle Seahawks -- Mingo is longer than Irvin and therefore possesses more athletic upside. Like Irvin, who led all rookies with eight sacks in 2012, Mingo's speed should result in eye-popping numbers immediately. He doesn't have an effective counter yet, however, and is a liability against the run, at this time.

True. But JPP is the rare one that worked out in spades.

So far so good. I am hoping Boofalo and the Jest pass on the QB's so the Pack can trade back into the second round and get another third. Or maybe they'll trade back twice and get two more thirds to go with theirs.

You can tell I am drinking.

RT @SBN_BillC: RT @chrissolari: This is the first time that Barry Sanders ever followed three good offensive linemen.
