      @Pierre Boyd definitely a fair point, but Detroit has shown they have a vision and want guys that fit that vision. It's become more and more clear that Swift, in particular, doesn't fit in. They saw their guy and got him. It could be great, and it could be terrible, but until they play, who knows. I at least respect that Detroit has been unapologetic about their decisions and have a vision for once in my life lmao. Gibbs is possibly the most explosive player in the draft and behind a great o-line that has a better shot of working out than most picks do. Unexpected pick, but I'm okay with it after a couple of days.

    GM of the Lions Brad Holmes is like Chris Simms in the way that he doesn't automatically buy into conventional thought or other people's opinions. The Lions do their own homework and grading and search for high impact players that fit what they're building. Bijan is redundant to David Montgomery. Gibbs offers the Lions a more dynamic offense (and Gibbs is prolific in the passing game and can play slot, Bijan is slow in comparison).

    I think Jack Campbell was criminally underrated, RAS score is off the charts and he's intelligent. I like the Lions philosophy of taking the players they like, vs what media/mocks say. Half the guys that get drafted in the first round are busts. Lions were criticized for taking Amon-Ra too early in the 4th round, look at the 16 WR's drafted before him. Chase and Waddle are the only 2 that have outperformed. I feel like most teams are playing checkers out here and Holmes and MCDC are playing chess.

    Alim McNeil

    Not a head scratcher at all. Bijan and Jahmyr fit different teams. Bijan is your bellcow running back. Lions already have that with David Montgomery. Adding Bijon to that doesn't gain us much. Jahmyr is your more elusive satellite back. He won't be running between the tackles. But he'll challenge the edge. He absolutely fits the Lions better as a pairing to David Montgomery. What about D'Andre Swift? He's talented but has 1 year left and is injury prone. Jahmyr fills the role D'Andre swift does and allows us to deal D'Andre while eliminating the issues with never knowing if he's playing.

    I think they thought Bijan would be there at 12, when he wasn't, they took Gibbs, who they probably had rated as high as Bijan. This is a good pick no matter what anyone thinks of it. Because of the type of QB Goff is, Gibbs will have more impact in improving the team next year than anyone else that was available to them. Goff needs a great back in order to be at his best, he had one in LA, now he has one in Detroit.

    I want to say Swift is in his last year in his contract? I think this will be his replacement. Won't cost as much right now and serves the same purpose. I have a feeling the Lions don't bring Swift back. Good player with a LOT of talent but injury stopping him form really coming into form I feel. I think this is going to be his replacement after this year.

    Also, 'could have traded down and still got Campbell' isn't necessarily true. Campbell is arguably the best LB in the draft. You need people willing to trade up, and let's say Campbell is their guy, but the next team would have wanted him at say 27 - 30. However, no team really wanted to trade with Detroit for 18... in those pick ranges well, if Detroit really wanted him (and fills a need) why not grab him? Because, he had more value at 27 - 30?
    There's also team value and how management views a guy and how he brings value to the team. Not just how experts, who don't do the extensive scouting and have access to a team's game plan, value positions, etc. This can include everything from talent, positional needs, to character and how the guy fits in the locker room and matches the mentality the team wants.

But now thinking about it, when you run a 2 back system, you don’t want the rbs to be the same type of rb. Bijan and Monty are the same with Bijan being the better. Gibbs is totally different and that change of pace back compared to Monty. Great pick at a position of greater need than anyone thought. I saw it!

    You all have no idea how the Lions operate. Here let me help you. He was the #1 RB on the board for the Lions. They considered taking him at 6. Brad Holmes let it slip in his press conference that he received many texts from people in NFL circles and one of them told him that Gibbs would not have made it to 15, the Patriots were taking him. Brad Holmes is a master of intel and knows exactly the value of his players relative to other teams and he is very good at taking them before the other team can. He also happens to be the biggest 50 yard TD threat in the draft this year, and that includes Bijan. Gibbs was not making it to 15, Campbell was not making it to round 2. If you pick a guy that is your guy and at the top of your board when he would not make it to your next pick that is NOT a reach... Sheesh...

Goff consistently puts up top 5 numbers, has success where ever he goes but he's a mid tier QB? There is not another QB that has put of the numbers and had the success that Goff's had, that they don't considered a top QB in the NFL. They are always trying to find a way to find doubt. At some point they will have to accept the Lions are good and Brad knows what he's doing.

    Adding a great weapon to an already damn good offense with a top O-Line is not a head scratcher.

    This helps them do that. More weapons in the passing game equals more wins in this league.
    They have a stable of three good backs. They can trade Swift if they need to.
    And no, I am not a Lions fan.
