😄 Another surprise overdraft or two would work with just about any position... Keep those better players falling into Holmes' hands...

There's still two receivers (Brian Thomas or Adonai Mitchell) who would look good in a Lions uniform.

I'd rather the Colts take a chance on Latu's long term health than the Lions... Just my 2 cents...

How can they even do (fit that many people) that?

Everybody else was expected top 15... Penix and Nix are the only surprises that benefit the Lions...

One way or another... I think there will be a couple of unexpected players available for the Lions... Or even a SHORT trade up for Holmes to get a guy that he really wants... IMO... THIS makes the draft INTERESTING for the Lions...!

This is OUTSTANDING/ FANTASTIC for the Lions...! Now let's see what Holmes can do with this...!!!

That second 1st however... sucks. Yeah... They must've mapped out the draft pretty well to be able to minimize the trade-up they might have needed...

Vikings gave up 1st, 4th & 5th to move up 1 spot in the 1st, and get a 6th back. I approve this message.

That's a nice pairing for the Bears. We may soon have some competition... Or a very competitive division...

FIRST SURPRISE!!! This is pretty high for Penix. Yeah.. Wow!

I love it when the Lions go FLYING up there to grab their guy within a minute or two getting on the clock...!!!

I prefer NFL Network...

??? Caleb's been going to the Bears the past two months. And Jayden to Washington the past month. Nobody had to guess anything.

1st two were easy and already guessed... The Pats were signaling they'll do anything....

??? Why are there two NFL Draft threads? We don't do that for the Tigers or any other of our teams...

Quiet draft night here...

Happy Draft Day! (I'm So Jealous.) Have a great weekend!

They're just trying to get us out of the way because they know Goff & the Lions will kick their ass next year too.

Both. Just a WAG.

IMO: Ghost has to walk. With Edvinsson and Walman as prospective top 2 LH'ed D (this is only my opinion): I want Chiarot moved. That still leaves: Walman, Edvinsson as top 2. Maatta as 3rd pairing. A decision to make on Johansson (does he replace Ghost and become 3rd pair with Maatta as 4th); and still Wallinder & Buium in Grand Rapids. Uncertainties: Not certain how much the Org loves Johansson; but I thought they really high on him. Although they were saying the same thing about Sebrango. Will they find a spot on the roster for him... or just move on, one way or the other? Can the Org live with Chiarot as 3rd pair, with his salary and commitment? Or do they clear space and use Maatta as 3rd pair? Or: vice verse and trade Maatta? Or keep Chiarot as 3rd and Maatta 4th (both under contract) and just let go of Johansson? I think the Org just moves on from Ghost. IMO. On all the other questions Enquiring minds want to know (answers).

We'll have WAY too many LH'ed D'men. Ghost. Edvinsson. Chiarot. Walman. Maatta. And we'll lose Albert Johansson on waivers if he doesn't make next year's team. And the Org actually LIKES him so... How do we clear that up? Ideas?

Yeah... My "doubt Kane comes back to the Wings" level is up to about 98% now...

But I don't see it... This year.

So: I can't see giving up several 3rds and 4ths in this or the next draft. The move up for a WR in the top 10 is nonsensical in this DEEP draft for WR's. And.. I think their are going to be too many players in this particular draft that Holmes/ Campbell would "LOVE" to put into a Lions uniform, within the top 3 rounds, to give them up for one guy that doesn't make sense to trade up for. Aside from that... I agree, not out of the realm for Brad. And... I definitely wanna see Brad hit on some more 1st to 5th rounders these next two drafts to "fully stock the shelves" so to speak... whereupon I also fully expect Brad to start "swinging for the fences" with power moves from then on...
