i'd trade down for a first rounder next year. not sure if i want more picks in this draft, the lions have a lot of picks already. i'd almost rather have them trade up.

they have big long term needs at corner, iol, and dt. ymmv on qb and te. i expect them to take guys who fill those long term needs.

worse, if ends up going to the bears and being a star.

brugler's mock draft: witherspoon and van ness.

well then who do you take at 6? might as well trade up then.

i dont know what theyre going to do. they did get assets for hockenson, they got a second round pick. if you want to call it "improved assets," that would probably be a better description. they probably do like mitchell and will likely give him a shot to prove he can play. i also think they wouldnt be above improving the talent in that room if the best player on their board at the time is a tight end. mitchell being on the roster isnt going to stop that. the draft is about upgrading talent for the future.

because they didnt want to give him a big extension and they could trade him for assets.

if theyre going to take a corner early, i hope its gonzalez and not witherspoon. he's longer, taller and faster.

i knew you'd come around!

only four games out of first!

spoelstra just whooped the pants of budenholzer. that was embarassing.

so is milwaukee.

yes! and it is GLORIOUS!

nice. 730 here in the cst. aka god's time zone.

this is why i love the nfl draft. today is like xmas eve! cant wait for tomorrow and this weekend. nhl and nba playoffs, tigers havent been officially eliminated yet, nfl draft, best time of the year.

you would have said the same thing before the miami-milwaukee series too. but big picture youre right, the nba playoffs are more about chalk than any of the others because of the nature of the nba and the way the refs call games. i dont mind that because it makes the occasional upset more meaningful and results in more top matchups between the best teams. i dont really like the crapshoot that is the mlb or nhl playoffs.

youre happy with how he's playing now? just pencil in 200/300/350 for the next decade and call it a day. lol. he's not a bust yet for sure. but if he is still hitting like this next year?

if they dont take a qb early, take one late and make them a 3rd stringer but not a backup. they have ambitions this season and if goff goes down they need a quality backup, not a guy just cutting his teeth.

spencer "nearly" torkelson he's probably great at horeshoes and hand grenades.

box score scouting is the only kind i can do!

ok, the time before that he popped out with a runner on base.

they draw ire because theyre both really bad right now and were really bad last year. ire is understandable when your bonus babies are floundering.

all good points, but goff was coming off two really bad seasons in a row. he also didnt look so hot in a few games early this year. i dont think they'll take a qb in round one but the argument would be to take the risk that one of them will be better than goff. as the game turns towards more mobile qbs, you may want to have one that provides that additional element to your offense that goff does not provide. i like goff too. the only guys i would potentially take would be young and richardson. but honestly, i go back and forth all the time.

line out...on the ground. no elevation.

playoff basketball is fun because theyre actually trying. i dont really mind the playin games for the same reason (even though the playin games can be really bad basketball at times). gs sactown has been really fun to watch. jimmy butler singlehandedly beating a hobbled giannis was fun too.
