Day 2 Combine

Not too much to talk about for Lions fans.

I don't think we need to worry too much about QBs. We're one WRs 40 and Tavon Austin just ran an unofficial 4.25. He'd be tough to pass up in the second round. Marquise Goodwin also ran a 4.25 unofficially.

Austin ran a  4.34 and Goodwin 4.27 now official.

This is clearly a deep WR and RB class with no stars. I will say I see why Patterson is the top WR in the class. He's a big guy and ran like a 4.37 unofficially. The guy is a freak athlete. He's not in our consideration at all.

Knile Davis 4.3 his draft stock dropped when John L came in this year. He could be a great late round pick. Le'avon Bell 4.52 mike gillislee 4.5. Bell is faster then people expected, but had such a workload he'll still probably be available in the 5th round. Guy is an athlete. These times are still unofficial, but hopefully aren't to far off.

This is a deep WR and runningback group. I don't know that there is a star player. I think you'll get great value late in the round. I think someone like Marcus Lattimore 4th round. Marquise Goodwin a 4th round WR. Someone like Andre Ellington and Ryan Swope are 4th rounders. Probably a mistake giving up a 4th rounder last year on Tahir. I think rounds 1-3 Lions need to stick to OL and defense. The 5-6 there will be people there. Le'veon Bell maybe. WR and RB shouldn't be picked till the 4th round which we don't have one and we better not continue to give up a future pick. We have a lot of needs. We need to continue to build over the years and not waste the future.
