Hitting on injury luck with Davenport would be like the Eagles getting mostly healthy Swift last season. Came out of nowhere despite the injury history. I’m sure there’s a better example out there in Lions history. Fingers crossed because he would be pretty good across from Hutch.

Lions probably could still sign a WR, OT, G, DT, CB, S… plenty of work to do for roster depth. Then BPA in the draft. At least the egregious hole of outside CB starter was filled right away.

He's this year's Emmanuel Mosely!

I don’t think they’re done with DE. Davenport is prob a rotational guy with upside.

Lions move some Cominsky money around reducing his cap number by 2.1 million

I think the Lion fans want a defensive end that plays opposite Hutchinson for 80 percent of the snaps, but the way they run that hybrid defense, I don't think you are going to see anything other than rotational guys. So if they get someone else it's probably going to be even less impressive than the Davenport signing.

Don't forget we now have a big hole at LG. I don't think we have a good answer on the roster atm. Zeitler from the Ravens might be the last good one left in FA. Of course, like the Davis trade, Holmes may find another option.

Zietler
Connor Williams
Connor Shelton

Though the last two are more Centers.

I am certain they will sign or draft another guard, but I think the times where Jackson was out, the offense didn't fall apart so if worst comes to worst, they can get by with what they have

[froot loops]

The Comimsky restructure was a paycut of 2 million and a restructure of 500k of salary into a signing bonus. It takes 2 million out of the cap hit. It's not like the paycuts Okwara and Vaitai took where it practically guaranteed they wouldn't get cut last season, they could get additional savings if they cut him, but it seems unlikely.

PFF grades in the low 60s the last two years. Looks like a slot corner.

[Mainevent]

Significant DB added? Seems a bit much. Backup slot who’s young and cheap.

He started for the Raiders last year all year I think as the outside corner

[chemiclord]

Almost feels like Robertson is going to be the new Will Harris.

[froot loops]

The Lions did not run much dime packages, having two good slot corners allows this type of flexibility.

[Mainevent]

He 5’9” 180lbs, I doubt he’s playing significant snaps outside in this defense unless there are a lot of injury issues.
