I know Holmes doesn't draft for need but I'm sure they atleast take that into account when filling out their boards so if I were a betting man unless some major talent slides I'd expect an o lineman to be our 1st pick.

Lions resign DPJ for 1yr/2 million. Not sure if the expectations are that he is going to just take over the Reynolds role or if this is just a depth signing. Personally I hope it's the latter and they are still going after Reynolds or somebody else to be the starting along with Jamo and St. Brown.

Jung has had a really nice spring with the bat, great to see after he finished last season strong as well. I'd imagine he's either going to start in Toledo or be there in short order.

I always liked Skip, goes back to the locker room video a couple years ago where everybody was chanting "Skip Skip Skip" and you can see him start to tear up. He won me over after watching that and on the field while not being a stud he never seemed to really stick out to me in a bad way.

NOt sure if it's like this for MLB but I know for NHL it did that for me when I tried watching the Wings game they had on there cause I lived in the Detroit area.

Considering Harbaugh's love for JJ he's probably trying to talk the Chargers brass into drafting him and getting rid of Herbert.

Christian Ponder comes to mind, I think he was a top 10 pick in 2011 or 12. Ended up being a complete bust of course.

Im guessing Minny is trying to get more ammunition to move up for a qb. The Michigan fan in me hopes its not JJ cause Id hate to have to root against him which would be the case if he ends up a Viking.

Don't forget about the GOAT Jack Fox!

Barring injury it feels almost certain that Jobe will be up at some point later this year even if its just for a start or 2 and next year he should be entrenched in the rotation.

Also doesn't take into account penalties, Jacobs was 2nd in the league in PI calls with 6(Snead was actually the only one that had more) and among the leaders in total penalties with 9. Where as Carlton Davis wasn't called for a single PI and only had 3 accepted penalties in total against him.(Holding, illegal use of hands and unnecessary roughness)

3 of the Pistons 11 wins have come against Charlotte, if they got to play them every night they'd be a playoff team!

And to add insult to injury the QB they passed on had one of the best rookie seasons from a QB in a long time.

Glasgow and Jonah Jackson were 3rd round picks as well. Also 7 of the 22 All Rookies this year were 3rd round or later. With that said statistically the odds are you aren't going to get somebody as good as Davis with that pick but I don't think the odds are as low as KL2 is saying. I do agree with him though that fans(myself included) tend to overrate picks like that cause the odds are that you are more likely to a replacement level player at best than a plus starter.

He also had a 52 grade and 120 passer rating against in 2022 which gives me some trepidation about him.

I'm not sure how the NFL compensation works but if Davis were to have a solid year and for some reason the Lions decide not to keep him and he goes elsewhere would he qualify for a comp pick? If so the Lions could recoup the pick they traded for him down the road.

There's not a whole lot of guys in the league that can consistently cover WR1s, those guys are going to get their yards one way or another. I'm more concerned with not letting the other guys get theirs too.

The Giants may not have much else but they should have a dominant pass rush, just another guy to help Thibs get a bunch of clean up sacks.

Im not sure if he is or not but as much as I would love to have a bonafide stud I don't think it's necessarily a must, I just want to avoid running out 1 or 2 complete duds like we did last year. If we can get a rotation of competent guys I think we will be alright.

That's more than I was expecting, was hoping/thinking it was basically a salary dump by TB and we were going to get him for like a 5th.

Davis isn't a stud or anything but I think he's definitely better than what we had last year, I'd still like to get somebody like Gilmore on a 1 year deal too along with drafting a guy early. I think if that were to happen then Gilmore, Davis, draft pick along with hopefully a healthy and somewhat productive Mosely would be a huge upgrade over what we were working with last year.

Those folks you saw at the game with the Carlton Davis jerseys will be happy!

Off topic a bit but I like those Tigers spring training road unis, I wish they would wear them during the regular season instead of the all gray look.
