It is.  Sickening.   A sad reminder that the NFL is nothing more than a meat market

A very expensive meat market.Seems like every couple of yrs a number one pick rips a knee in summer camp.I remember  Winslow JR ripping his knee on the 1st play of the 1st preseason game Butch (Botch really) Davis had him on the Kick return team :017: the 6th over all player taken

really sad. wonder why he was even working out at the pro day in the first place. he had an excellent combine and probably already cemented himself as a top 15-20 pick.

Said the same thing last night on the text with my UM family.  Those pro days should just be for the borderline guys who don't go to the combine

sounds like he tore his achilles and will be out 6 months minimum. So he went from top 15-20 pick, to probably 2nd or 3rd rd for no reason. Pro Day couldn't have boosted his stock any further. All it did was hurt it.

Should be a warning to any kids going forward. Don't do Combine and Pro Day. If you nail the combine, like Ojabo did- don't do the pro day.

Lions take Kyle Hamilton at #2.  Then take Jameson Williams and Ojabo at #32 and #34, and redshirt them

wouldn't be a bad draft at all. not sure I'd take Hamilton #2 though. I'd take Hutchinson if the Jags don't.

Pass rusher has way more impact over a game than a safety imo.

I'm assuming they are.  And at that point it's Hamilton and some OTs, which is the one position the Lions don't have a huge need at.  But yes, if they take one of the OTs, then take Hutchinson over Hamilton

sounds like Jags are likely taking Hutchinson.

They should find someone in love with either player and trade down.  Every team in the #1 spot should trade down, every year.  They suck.

I think that is very true in most cases, but sometimes that #1 pick happens to be a player like Peyton Manning, John Elway, Bruce Smith, or Troy Aikman. Sometimes, you have to take the #1 pick. Especially if it's a QB that you really believe in. Game is completely geared to the QB today- and if you can get a really good one on a rookie deal- that's when you can win big. Once that QB becomes a star and you have to really break the bank to pay him on that 2nd contract- makes it really tough to win and build a team around him.

The other problem is if every team thinks that way, you can't get value for trading down

most teams are desperate for that QB- which means in a QB rich draft if you have a top 3-5 pick, you can trade down and get a nice package. this draft sucks for QB's though.
