This new thread relates to the following thread and links in that thread:

Lions reach the 53 roster limit after cutdown (2021 season )

detroit-lions-forum.proboards.com/thread/1163/lions-reach-roster-cutdown-season?page=1&scrollTo=5807

Anthony Lynn's insight on Michael Badgley should help Brad Holmes and co. in the Lions decision making process...

Jake Verity is intriguing but major growing pains are a very realistic possibility with him.

Vyncient Smith is intriguing as a Waiver Wire Claim option. Certain as. Practice Squad option if he clears waivers. Smith has a very good size / speed ratio.

I hope the Lions pass on John Brown. He seems like a player in decline.

Marvin Wilson probably is more of a P.S. option to consider if he clears waivers, than attempting to claim him. If Brad Holmes thought enough of Wilson as an NFL Draft prospect, he would have probably acquired another late round draft pick in the 2021 Draft.

Jacob Hollister is well worth considering as a waiver claim option for the Lions. I'm surprised the Bills moved on from him.

Micah Kiser would very likely be an upgrade Anthony Pittman at Off the Ball / ILB. So much depends on Brad Holmes' assessment of Kiser on Special Teams. He's a very realistic Waiver Claim possibility for the Lions.

Pharoh Cooper hasn't been anywhere close to as effective on Returns in recent seasons. I hope the Lions pass on him.

Brad Holmes' input on Trishton Jackson provides confidence that the Lions will make a good decision on how to proceed with him.

Antonio Gandy-Golden definitely should be seriously considered as a waiver claim by the Lions. With all due respect to Tom Kennedy, it would be seem difficult to keep Kennedy over AGG if the opportunity presents itself in the Waiver Claim Process.

Shawn Davis probably would be a better P.S. option, he available following the Waiver Claim process.


Joe Burrow isn't exactly objective regarding his former LSU teammate.

The Lions appear better off going with youth at CB than with a journeyman like Rasul Douglas, who probably was a better fit for the Lions previous Defensive Scheme.

Kenny Robinson seems like a better P.S. option for the Lions, if available, than a Waiver Claim option.

14 players the Detroit Lions should consider on the waiver wire
.......

Here are my thoughts on players I didn't mention in the previous message of the thread that I think the Lions should consider adding:

Duce Stanley and Dave Fipp's assessments of Jason Huntley, compared to the Lions RBs from this summer ( including for the P.S.) , should be of great help for the Lions.

Tyron Johnson is intriguing. He was a surprise for the LA Chargers as the 2020 went along. Anthony Lynn's input is critical in the evaluation process of Johnson.

Kenny Yaboah is giving serious consideration to as a waiver claim.

I'm far from certain which Offensive Tackle of the ones mentioned is the best option. Prince Tega Wanogho is the one who jumps out from a potential standpoint.

In addition to the value of Todd Wash's assessment of Quincy Williams, the latter is the brother of Jets DT Quinnen Williams, the 3rd overall pick in the 2019 Draft. Though not mentioned in the article, I would be more than comfortable if the Lions signed S Jarrod Wilson, who as a Vested Veteran isn't subject to Waivers. Todd Wash coached Wilson in Jacksonville. Wilson isn't a flashy player. But he impressed me last season with his feel for the game and overall steady play.

Sheldrick Redwine was drafted by the Browns by John Dorsey. As a Senior Personnel Executive with the Lions, Dorsey's opinion on Red wine is valuable.

The Lions reportedly claimed WR KhaDarel Hodge off waivers from the Browns and K Austin Seibert off waivers from the Bengals. I plan to start new threads about them.
