Kipers newest mock:

T.J. Hockenson, TE, Iowa (6-5, 250) is a complete player who can run routes out of the slot on one play, then line up next to a tackle and blow up an edge defender in the running game on the next. I'm not going to call him a Rob Gronkowski clone, but there are similarities, particularly when you see each as blockers. And remember that Lions coach Matt Patricia and GM Bob Quinn saw firsthand what Gronk did for the Patriots during their time in the organization.


Im converting to a chiefs fan if they draft a TE in the top 10 again.

So tired of this Patriot clone shyt. Stop trying to mimic the patriots because It only works in NE

Lions need to stay out of FA DE market. Trey Flowers about to get damn near Mack and Donald money on open market. He’s just an okay player. Just draft DE at 8. Sweat, Gary, Ferrell should all be options.

I'm out on Gary at 8. Saw enough of him doing nothing in college to reach for him that high. :fukkit:

He’s probably the perfect scheme fit for the hybrid defense they run and be Ziggy replacement. He’s still a physical freak, he won’t drop very far in draft. And his character and big school pedigree fall in line with Quinns boring past 1st rd picks Decker, Davis, and Ragnow. Sweat was kicked off MSU for weed. We know the lions love their chore boys

Gary would be a meh pick. But I wouldn’t hate it.

I don't want Gary at 8 either. The production in college was not there. On the other hand I'd love to take Sweat, Ferrel, or any of the top ends/edge. I wouldn't even be mad at an interior defensive lineman...the crop is simply too good to ignore anyone this year.

No Gary, no Greedy Williams. I like Greedy, I think he'd be very good next to Slay...but we need to fix this d-line. The rush defense is set as long as we have Snacks, therefore it's time to get people who can rush the QB.

Hated seeing Foles (allegedly) going to the Jags BTW. That just means there will be one less QB taken in the top 7, IE the Jags might take a defensive player now that could have fallen to us if not for Foles.

Im listening to 97.1 while driving home. WTF did Gary do to all these Michigan fans to be slandered like this. He never lived up to the prep hype but people are acting like he’s a straight bum. He played hard and played through injuries. He was constantly doubled and never really asked to be a great pass rusher.

He had almost no impact at Michigan. You barely remembered he was on the field most of the time. :yeshrug:

Hell no. This is a deep TE draft, no need to waste a first round pick on one. I'm tired of this mentality that we have to do the most extreme thing, or pick up the best player...or else we don't want to win. It's pure 97.1 radio dumb shyt.

Draft the best d-lineman available, period.

If Hockensen is truly a elite prospect you take him. Our TE situation is trash and DE is probably the deepest position in this draft. If it's between TJ and Gary I'm taking the TE 10 times out of 10
