Kinda like how Hutch and Thibs were seen as the top DEs all year only for Walker to go 1st, Neal was basically the consensus OT all year only to get passed by Ikem.

Also just gotta say I'm liking the fact that they stopped showing the guys in the green room receiving the phone calls before the pick is announced spoiling any surprise. I think they did the same thing last year too so hopefully it continues to be like that.

Loving the pace thus far, already 5 picks in and we're only about a half hour since they officially started it.

Booger does make a good point about him coming back from his ankle injury instead of sitting out the rest of the season like he easily could have.

Considering the Panthers were unlikely to go with Thibs kinda surprised the Giants didn't wait till 7 to take him. Perhaps they were worried a team would trade up for him.

I think the last DB to be known by his nickname was Pac Man Jones, I have a feeling Sauce is going to turn out better!

Crazy to think that the top 4 guys are all defense, of course I think that says more about the lack of QBs than anything but still considering how this is an offensive league it's kinda weird to see.

If the NFL had the same rules as basketball where guys can come out after a year of college Stingley may have been our pick at 3 instead of Okudah in 2020.

Hutch it is!

Yeah Lions wasted no time putting the pick in.

Birkett says he's "hearing rumors on the red carpet that its Thibedaeux at 2."

One benefit that we do know of in drafting Hutch is we seen his Mom at the Orange Bowl and she is hot! To my knowledge Thibs Mom is still an unknown so if push comes to shove that could be something that tips the scales for Hutch.

Id be happy with Thibs or Hutch but my gut says if Hutch is there they are taking him. Thibs could be the guy in the draft that ends up being Myles Garrett and if he does and we pass on him that will most certainly suck but either way I think we will end up being happy with Hutch in the long run too. While he may not be that defacto All Pro I could see him being a perennial pro bowl type and a guy that fans will love as us Michigan fans already know.

Not watching the game just following on gamecast and it just feels like even when the Tigers do eek a out a run it always seems like such a struggle. Like they rarely get those big innings where a few runs happen in a short amount of time.

Oh yeah for sure, I'm speaking more of the stereotypical radio caller than the more educated or atleast open minded fan.

If the Lions do pass on Hutch its going to be like the Pistons passing on Trey Burke in terms of initial scrutiny it gets from the fans except on a much larger scale.

I didn't find any info on his velo but I did see that Faedo had 17 WHiffs in his start, apparently the slider was pretty nasty.

For me it's one of the QBs outside of Willis, I mean I don't want any of them but I'll be ok with Willis cause of his upside, the rest I have no interest in as the way I see it I don't see any of them ending up any better than what Goff can bring us down the road anyway.

If Walker does go 1 that is a legendary meteoric rise, 2 or 3 months ago Im not sure he was even if the top 10 according to the national mocks. Of course the national big boards may not mirror NFL team big boards so for all we know Walker couldve been near the top on those from the start and his combine numbers just solidified that for teams.

The Tigers need to call up Jobe and put him in the fireman role, I mean why waste the 3rd pick on a guy if you're just going to stash him in the minors???!?? - radio caller

Ja reminds me of a young D-Rose in terms of athletic ability but I'm not even sure if Rose had the type of bunnies that Ja has. Dude can jump out of the gym but for his sake hopefully it doesn't lead to long term injuries like Rose had.

After doing some more research on the subject I think Jeremy Bonderman is probably not only the first Tiger younger than me but quite possibly the first professional athlete in general. He's only 3 weeks younger than me and he started in April of 2003 at 20 years old and 6 months. He most certainly has to be the first Tiger but I'll have to do more research to see if he's the first athlete in general.

I hate saying anything nice about the Twins but I love the powder blue jerseys. I wish more teams would go with that look.

I do think this coming year Casey needs to be under a microscope and management has to determine whether they want him being their coach for a roster that they expect to compete with. The past couple years and probably next he is fine in the "Ron Gardenhire role" of being sorta a mentor for the young guys but the Pistons will have to see if they want to get their AJ Hinch to coach them when they expect to compete or are fine with the old coach.

Id be over the moon with Thibs, Pickens and Brisker as our first 3 picks. I prefer Cine and Hill over Brisker but he's in that same tier for me so if they're gone I'd be fine with him.
