He wasn't going to play most of this year and he was awful last year. In hindsight, giving him an extension was dumb. Makes me think they may have taken Gilbert if he was there, but a rookie corner wouldn't have helped us this year anyway. I'm sick of the narrative with the Lions secondary. They've accumulated four to five young corners over the last few years, it's time to see what they've got.
I don't get the tight end though. They just signed Pettigrew. They also drafted a Defensive End Larry Webster that Mayock said should be more of a project tight end because he has basketball experience
Webster isn't gonna play tight end lol...pettigrew is one of the best blocking right ends in the league but is never healthy 16 games and isn't very athletic. Ebron was the best player on the board at the time and is equipped to play in the slot a lot. They way Lombardi is designing the offense he was a perfect fit.
I didn't like signing Pettigrew either but it's essentially a 2-year deal and I support him getting less passes thrown his way. If he didn't drop it, he fumbled. He's a decent blocker though. I think out of all our draft picks, Webster is the biggest project and least likely to make the team. We'll see though.
