Crazy how dozens of picks will pass without NFL Network batting an eye, but the Cowboys pick some random DT at #244 and they're airing the pick, and the draft room, and analyzing it.

Gabriel and Grayson Murphy (EDGE), Drake Nugent (C), Cornelius Johnson (WR), Marcus Rosemy (WR), and Jalen Coker (WR) would be my UDFA targets as of now.

With the 210th pick of the 2024 NFL Draft, the Detroit Lions select future Hall of Famer Christian Mahogany, OG, Boston College.

Lions are on the clock.

I love the Mekhi Wingo pick. He was productive as all hell from the interior in the SEC, was one of the most athletic DTs in the draft, and was falling just because he’s a bit undersized. Put him between Reader and Houston on obvious pass downs and watch Caleb Williams eat turf.

I don’t love trading a future 3rd for a player who didn’t seem to be an obvious “how is he still on the board” guy. That said, it’s not sound reasoning, but I trust so completely in Holmes that I’m like “if he sees the heir apparent to Decker, who am I to judge?” It would take a lot to get me away from that mindset. If I was going to defend the trade, I think there are reasons to do so. For one, this is an incredibly deep team as it stands today. We don’t need filler players for spots 48-53, we need role players now who can become starters within two years. For another, we came into today with 9 picks next year. I have a hard time imagining us having nine holes to fill. On top of that, Jonah Jackson and CJGJ are both possible compensatory candidates to get additional picks. At the end of the day I’m not going to get worked up over sending pick 90-something away. Sure that’s a possible starter but Brad clearly saw a possible starter in this Canadien beast or he wouldn’t have made the move.

Damn Canadians are all neighbors!

I think this is exactly right. Special teams extraordinaire.

Brad seems like a man in win-now mode

I don’t love giving a 3rd next year for it but who am I to judge the almighty villain

700,000 and counting. New NFL record.

Detroit has really done this thing well. This is by far and away the nicest event I’ve ever attended in the city.

When they go 7-10 and clean house, they’ll be well on the way to ruining another quarterback.

I wouldn’t be opposed to bringing back DJ Chark on a one-year deal as an X. I agree with those who have said the depth at the offensive line makes me nervous. I don’t like the concept of depending on Awosika or Sorsdol in a big game.

I wouldn’t count out re-signing Davis. I don’t think Brad trades a 3rd for a player he doesn’t believe in

2025 2nd for Tee Higgins?

Brad is currently giving a press conference, so he might be done for the day.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Brad isn’t done yet tonight.

Good thing everyone agrees on this one. Consensus if I’ve ever seen one.

Gimme Kingsley.

Adds up.

Guntekunst and Holmes are playing chess.

Roger Goodell just shook my hand. I yelled out “I love you Roger!” And he said “weren’t you the one booing me earlier?”

I have to say, Detroit did this SO well. I’m blown away by the production quality.
