YES. Was coming to post this......this is the best news we could get this off season.

He is the Goff whisperer.

Great news. As much as I want to see more talent on defense, imagine if they take Bijan in the draft?Ben Johnson returning + Jamo with a full camp + Bijan?the Lions could be an absolute juggernaut on offense.

I worry a bit about bijan in the nfl. I know Barry was the master at cutbacks and jukes, but Bijan's whole game is centered around cut, cut, cut. I worry for two reasons. First, defenses are faster and smarter in the nfl and I'm just not sure he's quick enough to fully utilize that skill. Secondly, I worry all those cuts he makes will put a lot of pressure on his ankles and knees and injuries would pile up.

If we go RB, i would be happy to see Bijan, but I think i prefer RB in the 2nd-4th round.

Good points. Bijan is not at the top of my list, I?d see the pick as more of a short-term win-now type of move since I don?t trust RBs to be reliable beyond their rookie contract. Would certainly be fun for a couple years though.
