rumors are that mastrisimone wont be offered a contract. too bad if true.

always good to see tom izzo lose and act like a baby afterwards. typical tommy tantrum, other team got lucky.

as an aside, i dont know if there is any evidence that kickoffs lead to more iniuries than any other play.

i like the rule change. it would be pretty exciting. or perhaps just different? either way, i'm down with it.

anderson carter gonzalez wilson richardson

no edvinsson? boo.

how do we know he has a history of not practicing or playing hard? internet rumors? tryavon walker and jordan davis were high first rounders last year and carter was better than both of them at georgia. if there is fire behind the smoke, they probably wont take him. but he is the best player in the draft by most accounts. having the best player in the draft fall to you for a second year in a row would be manna from heaven for the lions.

did you think sauce gardner was "sauce gardner pro bowl cb" at this time last year? i'd be happy with christian gonzalez, will anderson, tyree wilson, or jalen carter at 6.

in other words, what he did off the field didnt matter to the lions then and didnt matter now. these are young men, theyre gonna do dumb shit. can they play football well? that's the concern.

so a guy who played amazing for two seasons and dominated the best league in college football is off the board because he was overweight at his pro day after going through a pretty trying period in his life. i really think that's not as big of a deal as youre making it out to be. but we'll see.

given cephus' past, you would think this regime would have cut him by now? i mean, all i hear is they are so concerned about character...

i feel better about our talent because i feel better about the people in charge now. at the end of the day, they have to find a brayden point and hope cossa is vasilevsky. they struck out on vrana - who seems to look just fine in st louis, btw. i really want to know what happened here to ruin that relationship.

that's the smartest thing he's said in a long time.

he's an nfl guard. and not at #6.

they have one corner on the roster signed past next year. they need corners badly. take gonzalez or witherspoon before skowronski. again, skowronski at 18 is ok. trading down to the middle of round one? ok. but 6? 6 is a difference maker at a difference maker postion: quarterback, wide receiver, pass rushing dlineman, offensive tackle, play maker on offense, corner. not a guard, not a linebacker, not a safety, not a tight end.

there are three players in the nfl who played tackle with arms that short. two of whom arent any good and one is ok. he's an emergency tackle who will most likely end up at guard. at #6? no way.

4 of the 10 worst seasons in franchise history. and this franchise has some BAD history. if you lose 50+ games for the 3 years youve been here, you might be bad at your job. the real culprit is tom gores. del always brings up early bill davidson, but his early teams made the playoffs, then he made the big mistake in hiring vitale, but quickly corrected and brought in mccoskey and daly. no comparison to gores. this is the worst four year stretch in franchise history. its only worth it if this year's draft choice is "isiah-esque."

i hope they dont take him at 6. that's way too high for him. there are better talented players on the board. fuck, id rather take bijan at 6 than skowronski. 18? maybe. 6? no fucking way.

im not worried about losing a guy who has barely played in 2 years. he canr stay healthy. he got a tiny contract for a reason. it shows you what the league and the lions think about him. same with evan brown. these guys just arent worth as much as we think they are.

jamo is not an x. reynolds is the only x on the team. they'll move people around. x and te are the two offensive positions they could use an upgrade on early.

taking a guard at 6 would be really dumb.

i dont know why the jets dont go get lamar jackson. why futz around with aaron rodgers' old ass when you can go get jackson for two #1s? i think the holdup is jackson's contract demand. no one else in the league is going to give him a fully guaranteed deal. just because the browns were stupid doesnt mean everyone else should be too.

he makes sense at 6.

how about #81 for hopkins?

the draft is about the next 5 years, not just next year. i dont know if they should take a qb at 6. i wouldnt. but the idea that they shouldnt take one because they have goff is short sighted, imo.
