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.

Detroit moved up OTC

Good Christen Miller is gone.

That sounds like Brad. I would rather they add some speed to the LB and edge group. I like Jacob Rodriguez as well. Miller's scouting report is that he is a 325 pound one tech, just like Tyleik.

I think, in the first round, when you are 4-13 you go BPA, with a possible 1-2 postion group exception. When you are 13-4 you go need, narrowed down to 1-2 postion groups. Brad has been in both of those situations and for the most part drafted that way.

I hope they are not locked into an edge with the next pick. They could use help at CB, LB and safety also.

Pretty much all of the first round OT's are gone by 21. Ioane also.

Must be some truth to McCoy's knee not being fully healed.

There are a bunch left, i wouldn't. It would cost a ton too.

They went with the pro ready guy over upside. They had Millers comp as Decker.

Glenn will take his Amon Ra here.

Freeling then.

They have a starting edge in Wonnum.

Bain or Freeling, who you taking?

Brad doesn't stay put. I would prefer moving back and gathering more picks but that is easier said than done.

Yes from week 6 through 17 not counting week 9 or 11 he was the 10th rated pass blocking OT.

Downs would be good value. He is more of a Brian Branch type than a CF'er though. If Branch comes back they could put one of them in the slot. I think the Lions need to add speed to the defense though. I would like to see an edge that can't double as a three tech, but can actually play in space. And some faster LB'ers also.

I don't believe these reports that come out in the days prior to the draft. Hopefully the Lions did their homework on him and know what the severity of the injury is. Because we already have our chronically injured CB spot filled.

If Underwood doesn't progress much from where he is now by September, I would bet on Michigan at least having a job sharing arrangement with another QB that can at least scan the field and hit an open receiver. Maybe they give him a couple of games to prove himself, but at some point he has to improve. And it is early. Maybe he doesn't turn into Tom Brady in the pocket but he at least should become functional in time. That along with his running ability and arm strength should be enough with the talent around him. Dante Moore took a minute to get better.

True. Touch may be a result of being rushed, or not having any offspeed pitch control. Mgoblog posts what the coaches saying about how players are coming along, and then translates that into what that probably means. If we start hearing about how well Carr and the transfer they have coming in are looking, that probably means that Underwood is not progressing.

I'm to the point where i would be against trading up in this draft, and even moreso adding 2027 high draft choices. Their needs outpace their resources for the next year or two. At least until they start trading established players for picks.
