Patrick Robinson is not a good selection. He may have the measureables to be a good corner but he does not play like it.
Your comments about Backus demonstrate that you do not have an open mind. Anyone who watched his play this year knows that he elevated his game a great deal and was in fact one of the best LTs in the NFC. Keep on hating.
So... wait for the 5th for any O Line help? Meh. Also, I am an FSU fan, but even I think Robinson at 34 is a stretch. There are going to be better corners on the board that early. Better yet, grab some top notch interior linemen to shore up one of our glaring weaknesses.
This is not well thought out at all. Why any QB's at all? Why draft a T in the 5th? There should be a bigger need like a good guard available in the 5th. Also, Brandon Ghee is 10x the CB that Patrick Robinson is.
If the Offensive Line elevated their game then Stafford wouldn't be rehabbing two injuries right now. I had the Lions take a QB because Culpepper won't be returning and Drew Stanton's future is uncertain after his poor performance. I like Brandon Ghee, but right now Patrick Robinson is rated above him as a pro prospect.
If you think the Lions are committed to our Tackles, then why draft one in the 5th instead of a Guard--a position that they are vocal about being unhappy with.
If the Lions choose to go with a Tackle or Guard it should be way earlier then the fifth round. This is a very early mock and I was unsure of what the Lions should address in the fifth. Barker is an OT that could be groomed to replace Backus in the future.
I say top three picks should be Berry if Suh is gone if not then Suh,Dan Williams,Warren,Barnes,John Jerry,Will Barker,Arien Foster
The LIONS take= DT SUH, OG Pouncey, RB DWYER, SS JONES, CB BERRY, K Swenson,
