he got the qb wrong, that was a big problem too.

i'd rarher have darnell wright than skoronski. no way i'd take either at 6. take one of the corners instead.

im not saying i'd prefer it, but it is another option that would likely cost less draft capital. we dont even know if simmons is available.

to pay an elite wide receiver like dhopkins and your elite tackle instead?

wings now up to 8th on the tankathon board. realistically, they could get as low as 6th. islanders pick currently sitting at 17th.

depends on the price. if hopkins is a one year rental, the price should be low, like a 5th round pick. sutton's price would be higher but he's younger. still, he's awfully pricey. maybe #55. more likely #81. i'd rather deal #18 for simmons.

only issue would be whether you want to invest that much of your cap in simmons. i cant imagine a deal would get done until tennessee sees who is available at 6. you figure the lions freed up all that cap space for something...

watching edmonton-vegas and its like watching a different sport than wings-flyers.

there is little difference between veleno, luft, and czarnik.

zadina hurt again. when your career fluctuates between "injured" and "disappointing", it might be time to cut bait.

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.
