It's funny to me that the Lions fave taken some flak for picking Swift near the top of the 2nd. Ok fine but the Chiefs used their first on a much lower rated rb lolwtf. The biggest concern about D'Andre Swift was his durability. He never really showed an ability to be a bell cow back at Georgia, but the Lions are the perfect landing spot for him because we already have Kerryon Johnson who has also revealed himself incapable of staying healthy for an entire season. Both backs are ludicrously talented but unproven health wise so it would seem that pairing them together as a committee is the best way to mitigate the problem. Sure it's a bitch and a half for fantasy, but I don't think the Lion's FO cares about that lol. I've just seen too many comments on reddit screaming about how taking a RB in the second is bad value, tell that to the Patriots who drafted rbs in the 1st and 2nd in consecutive years lol.
This criticism pales in comparison to the talking heads and draft-nicks bitching about the Lions not trading down out of #3. Well I got news, neither the Chargers, Dolphins or Panthers were willing to make a decent offer. Supposedly miami tried to nickle and dime us for their two late 1sts, a 3rd and a 1st next season to move up to #3 AND STILL HAVE #5, like how greedy can a mfer be? It's too bad the jags didn't go crazy and trade up with NY to take Tua and fuck over the phins. This was the absolute worst year to try and trade in the top of the first round without medical checks, legitimate pro days, etc. for teams to thoroughly scout the players. This pandemic can fuck right off /rant
