Tomorrow Free Agency officially opens up.. so far teams have been able to offer contracts to players already on their roster and the lions have made a lot of moves I wanted them to make.. they have kept Cabinda.. Anzalone.. Walker.. and J. Reynolds not hall of famers by any means.. but serviceable pieces you can build around.. all with little risk and potential upside.. they have also kept a few solid backups.. specifically Brown at center and Wright behind Tj.. they have also signed a few dudes I would have let walk.. but hey.. they are the professionals and I am just a dude on the couch.. they obviously know more than I do.. Just for fun though I have been putting together a desired wish list for the roster this fall.. now.. this is not a shuffle the league and draft a dream team.. this is a realistic expectation of what I would like to see in the fall.. there are players on the team I would rather not see.. but.. contracts dictate they will be there.. there are a few guys I would have loved to have seen (as noted in my previous drafts) like Chris Godwin, Quandre Diggs, or J.C. Jackson.. (really would have loved to see Diggs back.. I was quite displeased when they traded him.. I KNEW that kid was a real talent..)
Without further ado.. the 3rd and final draft at my guess for the lions roster in 2022.. (super excited to see how free agency shapes out in the coming weeks..)
