That the Lions have exercised Jamo and Hutchinson's 5th year option.

Adam Schefter is reporting the same...

He's going to trade Jamo and a 2026 3rd rounder to the Bears for their two second round picks. Ben Johnson wants him.

Yes he does. Sadly for us. Roseman I mean...

If he can get there.

Martin has a place on this team as backup to Tyleik if he can get up to speed. Not necessarily right now, but after Reader leaves he has an opening. It's not looking like he's going to get there though... at least not what he's shown so far...

So I guess they fell in love with Tyleik...

I vote for Jihaad Campbell...

Brad Holmes!!! "WHO do you LOVE?!?!"

If they draft one of those two I would assume that they've done a thorough check on character and that test was passed....

I guess James Pearce is a pass-rush target too... Do either him or Green drop off of the Lions board based on character issues...?

1 (target) down, 3 to go...

I think I called Emmanwori a SAM earlier... I meant hybrid WILL/ Safety.

I could absolutely go for Jihaad Campbell. Put him 3rd on the list. Emmanwori 4th...

I'd love to trade up to #22 with the Chargers and select in front of the Packers. The optics would be absolutely spectacular, especially in Green Bay!!!

Concur.

I've seen him consistently mocked in the top 15 lately so I thought he was going up draft boards... so he hasn't recently been on my radar...

I'm not really going to worry about the Bears until they start winning more games. And if we beat them twice... moot point, to me.

If he can't get "his guy" then yes. But if he thinks there's a game-changer within reach and trades up... that won't bother me one bit.

There are so many guards though. At least three guys in the 2nd/3rd round area, Tate Ratledge, Mbow and Savaiinnaea that I like quite a lot. Maybe Dylan Fairchild too, who the Lions looked at. It's so much harder to find pass-rushing DT's and high-quality edge rushers and cornerbacks... If Holmes REALLY surprises me... it would be to select Will Johnson or Shavon Revel who were both considered top 15 pick CB's but are falling due to their injuries... Otherwise... I'm really looking for a DT or DE in the 1st and a Guard in the 2nd... Of course Brad is going to draft exactly a Brad Holmes player so I don't know who that is. But I'm still hoping for pass-rush first...

No, he ran double TE sets with the Lions with LaPorta and Brock Wright. Loveland doesn't look Ebron-ish to me. I'm not saying he is or isn't LaPorta... I just don't see the resemblance (playing style) to Ebron.

Ben Johnson has dreams of another LaPorta...

I'm watching NFL. I can't even take Mel Kiper's schtick any more...

I don't think Mina Kimes is an NFL crew, I believe she has a show on ESPN and her podcast/ youtube show. I don't believe I've seen her on NFL...

The Texans already traded two 5ths (this year and 2027) to the Browns for their 6th and two 7ths. I could see Brad doing something similar... trading our 6th and two 7ths for a couple of 5th rounders, with one in a future draft... especially if he has a "Lions 3rd round grade" on a guy they really LOVE and he's slipped into the 5th round... It would make sense to chase quality rather than quantity...
