Lions fan here, they had a huge hole at LB, just had to get a starting LB and I think Foster has too many red flags even if he is a better player. I don't think anyone else on the board would've made this team any better than Davis will, but he's gotta stay healthy.
Agree. Levy quit after getting the big contract and we haven't had a LB big AND fast enough to take on a TE over the middle until now. Davis is a big dude with 4.5 speed. Quinn is talking about recruiting team-captains as often as he can which means he wants guys who understand they are a piece not the whole puzzle....Patriots Football. Glad we got him. On to round 2-3 tonight...need an edge-rush DE and another CB. Hopefully Saturday, Jake Butt (UofM) is still on the board and we can snag him. Best TE in the country before the ACL tear...probably have to spend 2017 on the taxi squad so the knee is no longer an issue. BTW, if Quinn sneaks that punk Mixon past Mrs. Ford, I won't watch a Lions game until he's gone or in prison.
If they get a good DE, CB, or DT I won't complain, 2 of those 3. Butt has now had 2 torn ACLs, and that has to be a bit scary for GMs to take guy in day 2. From what I read, he could be able to practice by the start of training camp, or it could take quite a bit longer. It's my opinion that you draft more for the future than just the upcoming season, but I don't know that I'd use a pick on him before the 5th round knowing the condition and injury history of his knees.
