Detroit Lions No. 12 draft pick Jahmyr Gibbs addresses the media during an NFL football news conference, Friday, April 28, 2023, in Allen Park, Mich. Yeah, an F.
Perhaps this take will get Old Takes Exposed in two or three years as a laughably bad take, but as things stand right now the Lions' draft class was just baffling. Taking Alabama running backwith the 12th overall pick in a year that they signed David Montgomery felt extremely rich. Even taking Iowa tight end Sam LaPorta with the 34th overall pick over Notre Dame's Michael Mayer was a head-scratcher.
He’s not the most athletic defensive back out there, but he’s a smart player that played a variety of roles in Alabama’s defense. He’ll play a lot of snaps as the Lions’ overhang defender this year and he’ll make a whole lot of plays.The positional value is one thing, but the bigger issue is taking Jack Campbell in the first round. He just wasn't projected to go anywhere near this spot and likely could have been had a full round later than where he was selected.
