  1. most first team all pros by lions draftees (only players who actually played for the lions, so no otto graham, johnny robinson, ya tittle...): joe schmidt 8 barry 6 jack christensen 6 d*ck stanfel 5 suh 3 karras 3 calvin 3 herman moore 3 yale lary 3
  2. you got two first team all pros in the same draft. that's more than the previous ten years of lions' drafts combined (special teamers dont count). you got one really good starter at a premium position (mcneil), two players who developed in solid starters in year 3 (barnes and iffy) and one second round bust. previous lions drafrs have resulted in one great player (barry calvin, suh, herman moore, lem barney, charlie sanders) or two very good players (blades/spielman, brown/glover), but none of them had multiple first team all pros by third year guys. not pro bowls, first team all pros. that's an amazing class. this is a hall of fame draft class and is probably the best lions draft class since 1958 (alex karras and wayne walker).
  3. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/40064987/deion-sanders-shedeur-sanders-clap-back-colorado-critics deion sanders continues to be a bad, small, petty person. why anyone would send their kid to colorado is beyond me. theyre not even good at football.
  4. brugler rated the lions draft as #3 in the league. bears were #1.
  5. btw, lebron walked off the floor without shaking hands with the nuggets last night. i'm sure there will be a federal inquest into this outrageous behavior like there was when isiah did it.
  6. unless he's going to wean himself off PEDs, i think he'll be ok.
  7. he's been railing against JJ for the entire process. so the guy that said jimmy clausen was a future hall of famer gave the vikings a D for taking mccarthy.
  8. you dont trade a player like that in a super bowl window. and you cant pay everybody.
  9. i hope phoenix falls into "brooklyn after the garnett/pierce" trade levels of bad.
  10. a "suns source", i.e.: kevin durant's burner account.
  11. Lions Bears Packers/Vikings Lions are the best team in the division on paper, but they will get a run for their money from the bears if williams is as good as advertised. with that said, other than cj stroud there havent been too many hyped rookie qbs who set the world on fire in their rookie years. there are usually some growing pains. the packers and bears both have achilles heels: their olines. the lions have them both beat there. the vikings are trying to make due with a less hyped rookie qb who will probably need more time to grow.
  12. they love stevenson. he was a hit. the other two played and were ok. but they were projects. he also sent a second round pick for sweat, who was excellent for them. the bears had a top 5 defense after getting sweat. keenan allen, dj moore, cole kmet, and rome odunze are a formidable set of pass catchers. the question for the bears is the offensive line. they took a tackle in round 2 this year who projects to guard. their starting left tackle is a 5th round pick. their iol is "ok" at best. if there is a criticism of poles its that he has ignored the oline. the bears are set up for a long time. however, next year will likely be an up and down season with williams as a rookie. the other issue is coaching. we'll see if eberflus amounts to anything. they had a chance for a reset this year and they failed to do it. which is very typical for the bears.
  13. 13 wolverines drafted. new school record but did not break georgia's record.
  14. lions sign isaiah williams, wr
  15. at this point i dont question brad holmes.
  16. Detroit Lions Detroit Lions: Giovanni Manu, OT, British Columbia – MILLEN Grade Sorry, Lions fans, for giving you a Millen grade, but this isn’t the best selection. Giovanni Manu is a late-round prospect, so had Detroit made this pick a round later, I wouldn’t have minded it. However, surrendering a third-round pick in 2025 to get him is a huge mistake. A huge, kielbasa type of mistake.
