Jesse James to the Lions

[Ernie]

If hes there you definitely take a look. He won't be, though.

[SteelBucks]

I say if Hockinson is there at #20 he needs serious consideration.

I agree but I’d hate to go TE with the holes on defense. Good talent though no doubt.

id go hard for cb and edge in FA(dump dupree and use his 9 million) then go hockenson/bush in first, ilb/wr second, wr/cb third and te/wr witgh the other 3rd

The way FA is going... It is way too expensive for finding a player that we are going to say can make an impact. The way it's going Dupree looks like a great price at 9 million a year. Collins a box safety got 14M, Crowder got 9 M, K. Alexander got 12/13? M.

I think the investment into McDonald and needs on Defense will make this a luxury more than a necessity so no worries.

[Steel Maniac]

We'll take one around the 5th round I'd assume.

There is close to a billion dollars in cap space across the league. Teams are going to spend it like water.

[Oviedo]

I am going to get slaughtered for this... I want 2 TE in this draft, 1 high in the draft and 1 mid to late. Would love to have Hocksenson and Mouero (sp). The roster seems set to allow us to do this. Only have McDonald, and tendered Gimble and some PS TE ( Hodges?)

I would love either Iowa TE...Hockensen or Fant

McDonald played 15 games last season so dont know what squid is talking about...
Which FA CB you going hard for squid?
Which edgerusher.
Cmon, do your homework instead of just flapping your gumbs.
I do agree Dud isnt worth 9 million

[Buzz]

Did anyone sign Tyler Eifert yet?

I know he's been injured as much as he's played, but when healthy, he's a pretty good TE. Probably will be priced higher than we want to pay, but might be worth a look-see.

[NJ-STEELER]

the loss of james will sting as much as losing matt spaethin free agency years ago

Youre right. Let's grab some bums and then draft. If the draft picks eventually pan out, Ben will be retired by then. My bad thinking like rest if the league.

[pittpete]

Never said grab bums..
Who should we get in free agency?
Im with signing a FA CB and edgerusher but who?

He is worst than McDonald on injuries...and prob cost a fortune. Was he a complete TE, or just a receiving TE? But on the flip side, Ebron was the same in Detroit, and he went off.

Rudolf from Min. might be a cap casualty. If so I would prefer him over Eifert. Hopefully Eifert goes to some TE needy team before we draft, and have Hockenson slide to us. Detroit took JJ, GB..., Titans...,

McDonald has missed an average of 4 games a year. Last season seems more of a fluke than anything.
