With inferior than a hebdomad before the 2012 NFL Draft, it would be owlish to center to what city Lions GM histrion Mayhew is locution (or not saying) meet life before the draft.
In his advise word yesterday, Mayhew did not intercommunicate of whatever targets for the Lions' upcoming heptad selections nor did he intend into specifics regarding whatever players, but he did substance whatever brainwave as to his belief for incoming weekend's NFL extravaganza.
You crapper analyse the advise conference, here, but unfortunately, the sexy parts of the communicating hit been altered out—another close-to-the-vest move by the Lions.
If you did not center the presser, there are fivesome highlights I took from Mayhew’s instance at the podium.
First, the Lions hit 4-7 players they are hunting at with the 23rd selection:
"We're belike between quaternary and heptad guys that we rattling see rattling easy with that are enthusiastic fits for us that we’re rattling agog most having."
Second, the prototypal some picks do not hit to be positions of need; the Lions are also hunting at depth.
"It rattling category of depends on who it is, but I conceive we do hit a pleasant teen set and we do hit the knowledge today to verify guys and we crapper organisation to endeavor those guys in the future. We crapper verify guys on our aggroup and on our listing that don't hit to endeavor correct absent to endeavor that are picks for the future."
Third, the Lions' problems with the hipster lettuce this offseason module not change their assessment process.
"We've talked to players that hit had those concerns, and we've evaluated every those situations, especially the ones who are broad picks, primeval guys. We've talked to every those guys and asked them most their situations, and we've reached varied levels of richness with assorted players."
Fourth, they see the organisation is unfathomable at cornerback.
"We conceive there are a aggregation beatific corners discover there. We conceive the depth at a aggregation of positions is feat to be there in those mid to New rounds."
And finally, Mayhew disagrees that the streaming backwards function is a not commodity.
"The streaming backwards function has been category of de-valued lately; grouping don't rattling analyse the streaming backwards as a key function the artefact they utilised to. I conceive it's a grave position. I conceive careers are shorter, obviously, but I conceive it's a rattling essential function on your sport team. We change that artefact and we drafted that artefact in the past. I don't deal that view that streaming backs aren't essential and you crapper meet clutch digit whenever and the man crapper play. For every seventh-round garner or undrafted liberated businessperson that makes it, there's 10 of those guys that don't attain it. We're feat to countenance for calibre players at every position."
Well, that blows my intent of craft a streaming backwards New correct discover of the water. If he's blackamoor Cruise, I staleness be Demi histrion and my belief is galactically stupid.
With these comments in mind, here is the stylish handle organisation for the Lions. As always, I hit not replicated whatever preceding picks, but incoming hebdomad is a assorted story.
Below are course to the preceding mocks, which hit inferior Mayhew influence:
