Board is falling decently for them so far, but lots of picks to go and can change quickly. Several solid man corners and edge rushers that fit the Lions style still out there.

Need that 5th year option in order to decline it for them to sign for ridiculous money with the Raiders.

Initial impressions on Blake Miller is that he’s a very safe, unflashy pick. I like safe. Freeling and Ichenachor (sp?) were flashier, with higher ceilings. But I like the pick as a consistent starter. We’ve got our flash in Sewell, we just need dependable across from him. That’s what Decker pre-2025 gave us. And it’s what I think Miller will give us long-term. It’s never easy to slide into an NFL offensive line, I’m sure there will be growing pains. But I like the pick. It makes us better entering week #1.

I miss the days when we could fleece an NFC North team for Jameson Williams when they would get a Lewis Cine out of it. And drop 20 spots. In hindsight that’s got to be one of the biggest trade steals in NFL history.

I do think there is real value in his durability. Can’t wait until 2037 when he is giving interviews to Justin Rogers about how he got shafted by the Lions.

I don’t think it’s anymore a reach than Tyleik was last year. If your guy is on the board, he won’t be the next time you pick, and you can’t find a trade down… *shrug* But also they hired Mike McCarthy, so Steelers slander is deserved.

The longer Faulk and McCoy stay on the board the more a possibility a trade is. I don’t think it happens in the 1st round though.

I’m good with it

Freeling or Faulk is my prediction

🚨 🚨 THE DETROIT LIONS ARE ON THE CLOCK 🚨 🚨

The MTF sigh of relief could be heard for miles

Delane would have been there at #9

When does it actually start? Not the pomp and circumstance, not pretending like we haven't known 1.1 is Mendoza for the last two months... When will the Jets be on the clock? O/U 8:25pm?

Styles, Delane, or even Reese may be targets too... Feels like Mauigoa should be too if he makes it past 10.

Not to instill panic, but Charlie Campbell is reporting the trade up target may be Proctor.

All of these reports reek of a team in the 20s hoping he’ll fall, so they leak information that is probably widely known (or irrelevant), hoping the bad teams drafting at the top of the draft get scared off.

There ya go.

I think they're just screwing around. The Lions social media team can be a bit ironic. I can't imagine this is how they would announce anything serious.

I think Faulk will be better than Paschal. He’s a one-of-a-kind prospect with the athletic traits and bull rush but lack of numbers, so it’s hard to comp him. He’s also only 20 years old. Doesn’t even turn 21 until two days before the regular season opener.

Charlie Campbell says he believes the Lions pick will come down to Kayden Proctor, Keldric Faulk, Monroe Freeling, or Jermod McCoy. Says Proctor and Faulk are 1a and 1b right now.

If they go double offense in the first round, they’ll take the skill player at 5 because there is no OT head and shoulders above the rest. But it’d be easy to see them go Delane or Bain or Downs with one of those picks too.

I don't think Robby will have left for more than a week. I've been in a job where the boundaries between life and job get blurred. It's not easy to take a vacation, let alone a sabattical.

It’s been almost 12 years since Mary Sue Coleman stepped down and the office hasn’t seen a whiff of stability since.
