you guys just signed Tate to a nice contract, this would be so stupid, they need a CB/S/ Pass Rusher

Wilfred · 04-09-14, 09:47 PM

Not gonna happen

TwoWays · 04-09-14, 10:04 PM

This guy is spectacular. Best o playmaker in draft

Grits n' Gravy · 04-09-14, 11:48 PM

That's great. Still have a kid with Down's syndrome playing qb though.

EmpireMaker · 04-09-14, 11:50 PM

I don't think it would be a horrible move but I don't believe they will actually do it.

Wrigley · 04-10-14, 08:16 AM

I dont think it happens either

seaborneq · 04-10-14, 08:42 AM

Watkins should be a top 5 pick. The lions need help on defense.

STAX · 04-10-14, 09:27 AM

what pick does Detroit have? I want the Browns to trade down, but not too far down

crustyme · 04-10-14, 09:32 AM

stupid if they do.

Vinnie Paz · 04-10-14, 09:52 AM

Just stay at ten and take mike Evans, might have to jump Tampa to do so though but that's still only 3 spots. Evans and Megatron, thats not even fair

smitch124 · 04-10-14, 09:55 AM

Is Matt Millen still pulling the strings somehow?

crustyme · 04-10-14, 10:18 AM

3rd in passing offense and 16th in defense. have the best wr in the world and pretty damn good 2nd option in golden tate..... yet they think another wr is what will lead them to the sb?

lol

every single pick needs to be on defense.

Tommy Karate · 04-10-14, 11:23 AM

det taking another wideout...
oh man....this team is destined for mediocrity.

MikeTizzy · 04-10-14, 05:39 PM

i believe so, they need that talent badly.

A cb or safety is a greater need for them.

TheMoneyShot · 04-12-14, 05:31 AM

People worried about Detroit's defense... they will be fine. Give Stafford more targets.... it's the only thing you can do for him. Detroit should stack 3 WR strong... you won't be able to stop this offense then. Defense just has to show up. They will be fine.

Vinnie Paz · 04-12-14, 07:21 AM

Still wouldnt trade up for him though, if they go wr I'm ok with it but I wouldn't give up extra picks to get one. You're already in tge top ten in a deep draft, you'll find a high quality player at 10. Plus they havent had a solid corner there in....ever

Vinnie Paz · 04-12-14, 07:25 AM

Stacked offences only get you so
far in the NFL. Ask Denver how that worked out

BigSpoon · 04-12-14, 07:50 AM

Trading up for Clowney makes much more sense.

I totally agree with you. But the Ford family doesn't care about championships. They don't know what their doing at all. Gives us fans something to be excited about. I just want to see 40 points a game.

artofaggression · 04-12-14, 09:29 AM

No. Way. In. Hell. Detroit didnt fire Schwartz to pick another WR. My sources tell me Det thinks theyre 1-2 hallmark Defensive playmakers away from SB. Theyre flush with talent on O; getting A Barr from UCLA would be way to go and I hear theyre leaning there.

Robber · 04-12-14, 10:26 PM

I don't think s
Just a rumor

TwoWays · 04-12-14, 10:32 PM

U get this guy no matter what. He will be a stud

MUHerd37 · 04-12-14, 10:36 PM

Him opposite of CJ could be crazy. The secondary needs big help tho. Don't think I would pass up on Watkins tho.

EmpireMaker · 04-12-14, 11:02 PM

They need to sit right where they are and draft the best available defensive back when their turn comes up.

Grits n' Gravy · 04-13-14, 03:51 AM

So all of the stupid turnovers Stafford has made will magically disappear with a rookie wr? The OL gets better and he becomes smart?

artofaggression · 04-13-14, 04:25 AM

Watch OSU/Clemson game CLOSELY....a chunk if his catches were at line of scrimmage with DB playing 10 yds off. He had so many overinflated stats in that game bc if it. Hes a great prospect but look through the annals of "stud" WRs last 15 years;

Peter Warrick
David Terrell
Charles Rogers
(Det) Mike Williams
Troy Williamson
Ted Ginn
Darius Haywrd-Bey
Reggie Williams
Justin Blackmon

All these guys had some Watkins-type label to them. Det needs to shore other areas up, not dream of this unstoppable O. The QB is more responsible for an unstoppable O than great WRs and Stafford isnt Manning.

Don't need wr period but Evans won't be shit compared to Watkins.

Are just just talking out your Ass? Blackmon is a top 10 wr that likes to drink and do drugs -he doesn't really belong on your list of underachievers

Youre nuttier than squirrel sh*t homey - even IF its bc drug/drink, Blackmon is a dud....but hes been a scrub thus far. Get off his wood. He may never play in NFL again. Gar-bajjjjjjj

Those other wrs you listed did not ever go up and snatch the ball out of the air like Watkins. Yes he had inflated stats in that offense and those quick little option passes but his burst once he had the ball is impressive and again he goes and snatched the ball at its highest point and comparing his ball skills to any of those bums you listed is comical. Far as Blackmon If he would learn to pass a drug test he be a very good wr, but doesn't have the burst of Watkins IMO..

artofaggression · 04-13-14, 07:48 AM

What I am saying sire is that guys liks Warrick and Terrll and Charles Rogers were soooo ballyhooed coming out of school like Mr. Watkins is. They were seen as cant-miss guys but they didnt really work out that well. So they once werent bums. But i see a lot of Larry Fitzgerald in Sw except SW faster. But Det wont get him; he may be gone at 3-4 (Jax/Cle)
