What are your 2020 1st round draft top 7 options

[tepod2001]

What are your top 7 ideal choices for the Lions in the first round #3 pick?

My choices are the same as they were before the combine:

#1:  Trade Down
#2:  Isaiah Simmons S/OLB
#3:  Jeff Okudah CB
#4:  Derrick Brown DT
#5:  Javon Kinlaw DT
#6:  Mekhi Becton OT
#7:  Jedrick Wills OT

I would probably list another 10 before I got to a QB

All for trading down. But as for players where is Chase Young? Legitimate chance he is there at 3.

1) Chase Young
2) Joe Burrow
3) Tua Tagovailoa
4) Isiah Simmons

[goldenlions]

1) Chase Young
2) Trade down if Young is gone
3) Okudah 
4) Simmons
5) Burrow
6) Tua
7) Brown

Updated after reviewing some combine notes.

I don't see Washington passing on Young. If he was there, I would put him right with Simmons

I think there is a 25% chance Young is there at 3 either from Washington trading out of the 2 spot or Danny Boy wanting a new shiny toy (Tua).

Yeah, I think it may be higher than that. Rivera has time to build and I could see that making him open to taking Tua and having a fresh start or willing to take a nice package to move back with a team trading up for Tua.

I agree, Cam Newton saved him from being fired years ago and he could convince Snyder that Tua is the real deal and lead them to the promised land.

Plus if there are teams that really love Tua, they’re not going to wait until 3 and let their be a chance someone else will jump up and grab him.

Might just be wishful thinking, but I think there’s a real chance Young is there at 3.

I agree teams fall in love with QBs and overpay to get the next Brady or Manning or whoever. I like the spot the Lions are in, would have liked it a little better being at #2, but granted I know it wouldn’t be as dramatic.

I too think he could be there at 3

What do you think the odds are if the Lions trade down or pick somebody else at 3 if he is there for the taking?

It may be higher than most people think.

I think decent because another team may panic and want to come up for Herbert.

Get Burrow or trade down, it's that simple.

[Deleted]

It seems that it is a foregone conclusion that Cincinnati picks Burrow.Maybe they pick Young and stick with Dalton.... What if some team offers some ungodly amount of picks to the Bengals because they worship Burrow. I kind of doubt that...but you never know. This will be a interesting Draft. If it goes the way many think...Bengals...Burrow, Skins Young...Then the Lions almost have to pick Tua..They can let him sit on the sidelines for a couple of years..Best Scenario is teams get into a bidding war for Tua and offer up the farm to the lions. Lions need a lot of things...so
Trade down
Young if there
Tua if no Earth Shattering offer comes in
Simmons
Brown
If none of that is there..Yikes

Drafting Tua might be the only way to get a trade down if Young is gone.

Why wouldn't a team who wants Tua just trade up to get him?  I think the only time a draft and trade happens on Draft Day is if the guy is adamant about not playing for an organization (the only ones I can think of are Eli Manning and John Elway).  Granted we still have little less than 2 months for more info on Tua coming out saying he will not play for Detroit.

I think there is some validity to what Dane is saying. If you draft Tua you might get more QB-needy teams in panic mode calling and thus pit them against each other. Or perhaps a situation where Miami is confident enough to where Tua falls to them (which could very well happen) and so are hesitant to offer too much to move up. But if the Lions then draft Tua the price goes up.

In this era of rookie contracts, you don't see that anymore.  Not sure why a pre-draft or when the Lions are on the clock trade is way more plausible.  I don't see the Lions drafting Tua and team trading for him after the fact, that just isn't done and Tua is good but he is NOT a generational talent.  I think if Detroit drafted Tua, then other teams would just move on.

[thedane]

It's a game of chicken, if we end up with a franchise QB by playing how bad does that suck?

[TRUMP]

Young or Simmons, if they don’t get one of them they should be fired.
