Now I want Okung to play left tackle, and maybe take a flyer on fluker cheap for right guard.

Lions fan here. Congrats on signing Reiff, I know you guys were really in need of a tackle.

Reiff is about as average as a tackle can possibly be. He can play either LT or RT, being perfectly average at both. He will have a few games that are slightly above average, and a few that are below average that might have some of you pulling your hair out. Where Reiff really struggles is with speed rushers. He isn't especially good in the run game.

Congrats again, and hopefully you guys didn't pay too much.

Liking the moves, drinking the Kool aid

I agree. A ham and cheese sandwich is better than Kalil. Not sure what the Panthers were thinking.

i don't like letting Locke walk. He was a draft pick and he really did well last season. Zero compensation and now a need.

I agree, can't figure that one out.

I agree 1,000%. I can't imagine he would be that expensive either. What punters are available?

In my eyes the kid made a big mistake 3 years ago, he has accepted it and done everything asked of him since then. I don't think anyone really knows besides the two involved what really happened that night. I wouldn't be opposed to us drafting this kid.
Not a chance I would draft him. He may have learned his lesson and will be a good human being going forward, but no way I draft/sign a guy who laid a woman out like that, no way.

Kai Forbath. I don't think he'll be tough to replace. His accuracy was okay last year but he's seriously bad on kickoffs.

I'd like to see them sign Zurlien from the Rams. They let him go today. He's got a cannon of a leg (hence the "Greg-the-leg" nickname) and most of his struggles where when Fisher lost his mind and had him kicking 55+ kicks routinely.
