i think carter is intentionally tanking his draft stock so the lions can take him at 18.

will anderson did all of that? you'd think that would have made the papers.

https://www.footballoutsiders.com/fo100 Anderson is the complete package as an edge rusher. He's so explosive in his first three steps that he can almost intercept the snap if left unblocked. His lateral quickness is outstanding. His pass-rushing moves are economical and effective: he can disengage from pass-protectors with a quick swipe of his arm and a step to his left. Anderson's awareness and play-recognition skills supplement his pass-rushing ability well. He'll step back and leap for a deflection when he anticipates a short pass (three batted/deflected passes in 2021). He reads screens and disrupts misdirection plays. Anderson weaves through traffic fluidly on stunts and knows his role when eating up blockers for a teammate. As for run defense, well, Anderson played at around 245 pounds, and bigger/better blockers can latch on and move Anderson when the play is coming right at him. If Anderson were about 10 pounds of meaningful playing weight stouter, he might be the best edge-rush prospect from ANY program of this century. At the risk of dooming a prospect with a Hall of Fame comparison: Anderson has Von Miller-like measurables and film. He's that athletic, explosive, and unique. He'll likely enter the NFL as a prohibitive Defensive Rookie of the Year favorite, and he should have double-digit sack impact right away.

i'll take the next micha parsons, thanks. btw, parsons had a whole bunch of pre-draft "character concerns" and turned out to be a pretty good draft pick.

someone tell troy

the lions like to take care of their own.

espn gave it a C-. walterfootball gave it an F.

hawks beat the bruins too.

people hate paying running backs.

espn hated it. your boys at walter football really hated it.

everyone hates this signing, but i dont mind it. i think montgomery is a good back and the lions want to get off the bus running the ball.

carter, anderson, or gonzalez. i definitely do not think corner is out.

jamaal williams gets what the oline gives you and almost nothing more. montgomery will get you more.

david montgomery is a good back and more talented than jamaal williams.

what a boring game.

do not overpay for jamaal williams.

if you think carter is the only player in the draft who speeds in their car or has "dragged race" or done something else just as stupid, youre nuts.

if the packers oline holds together, i think they'll be pretty decent.

the question will be whether he can be motivated. again, if there are other issues with his character that we are not privy to, that's a different story. i dont see the speeding incident as indicative of anything other than a young man's poor judgment.

he was speeding. you never drove a car really fast when you were young? i bet you did. whether or not someone who was driving fast next to you got into an accident doesnt mean youre somehow a bad person or a risk that a company shouldnt hire. i bet there's a massive list of young men who were involved in all sorts of risky behavior that resulted in injury when they were young and dumb. some of them grow up.

he's 21 years old. 21 year olds make errors of judgment. i'll leave it to holmes and others to find out if those are really youthful indiscretions or if there are larger concerns about character and work ethic. if he is truly off their board, i assume that there are other concerns that im not aware of and if thats the case dont take him. but if not, you better snatch that talent up!

like the prove it deal for mosely, skeptical that he can do it coming off the acl, but its a risk worth taking for that price. i dont disagree with anything theyve done so far. even the anzalone contract.

jalen carter, will anderson, christian gonzalez. or bust.

i think okudah might be destined for box safety. he was at his best last season when he was walking up to the line and defending the run. corner might not be in the cards for him.
