I think the Lions will be adding a few more pieces before opening day. I think they need another run stuffing DT, if Alim or Williams go down they could be in trouble. They could wait to see who becomes available at cut down day. And they need another CB, Adore Jackson and Trevon Diggs are unsigned. That may be a position they add a bigger piece at the trade deadline though. And i am not comfortable with Sione Vaki being the 2nd or 3rd RB. He is already hurt, and hasn't shown much in 2 years anyway. Saylors didn't look too bad but there are a few unsigned vets that could help, like Najee Harris.

I am guessing it was Tufele that didn't pass the conditioning test. If Mahagony showed up out of shape he may not make the team, not a good look for a young guy battling for a starting job. Regarding Kerby probably not being ready for opening day, i agree he has a limited amount of milage left on those knees and the Lions are conserving the wear and tear, hopefully to have him ready for the playoffs. Almost a given that the Lions opt out of that contract after this year. And Branch possibly returning to practice is big news. Although returning to practice isn't the same as ready to play in a game. It does increase the odds that he is up to full speed later this year however.

How did Arnold make it through Detroit's "no turds" screening process? It seems like if there is catostrophic news regarding injury or off the field stuff lately it will be the secondary. Okudah, Tracy Walker and Branch tear achilles, Kerby has a degenerative knee, and Cam Sutton and Arnold have the law after them.

Rainer missed a bunch of time last year, and only has about 250 career ab's, so hopefully he makes a little more contact as the year progresses. Plus it has been cold as he$% in GR this spring. Going through our top propsects the only one doing well is Max Anderson.

One my least favorite actors attempts at another accent was Al Pacino in Scarface. Even when i was like 18 and should have liked that movie i didn't because he came accross as so fake.

There are quite differing opinions on what Moore will be. I've read some that say he is more of a 3-4 stand up edge, and others that he will be a 3 down 4-3 edge setter. I know he stood up a lot at Michigan but that was probably just Wink forcing guys to fit in his system, rather than what they are best at.

I just had to activate my You Tube TV yesterday after cancelling it for the summer. Amazon had the Friday game.

If i had on nitpick with this draft it would have been trading up for Moore when there were a few edges still on the board if he was hellbent on drafting an edge there. There was still quite a bit of talent left in the fourth. Other than that it will be interesting to see how Rolder and Moore fit in the defense since they are a bit different Anzelone and Davenport. Also hoping that they have some cap space left for DJ Reader, I hate having to rely on Levi.

Crosby has been to 5 straight pro-bowls, All Pro 3 times, and received DPOY top ten finishes twice. That is a pretty high bar for Moore. I watched a bunch of Michigan games and i don't think he ever really took over a game like Hutchinson or Graham did. I would expect a maybe 10-12 sack at his peek with decent run defense kind of player.

Hooker came out of that Josh Heupel offense which doesn't translate well to the NFL. It emphasizes quick reads and taking off if they aren't there. If he could process complex defenses was unknown pretty much. And ultimately why he failed is he was lost post snap. It was a gamble i think they thought they could make because they had a bunch of picks. It kind of began a trend of making some bad decisions with 3rd and 4th round picks, or at least decisions that look bad in retrospect.

Rolder has a lengthy injury history so he checked that box.

Wrong Michigan guy, Jimmy Rolder. Hope he can cover.

They had Rayshaun Benny in, he might be the pick here. Wouldn't mind Kyle Louis though.

The worst part of watching the draft is listening to these random fans and ex-players announce picks. STFU and read the card!

Seems like he would have been there at 50.
