Lions traded up!! To 96

There goes Michael Wilson.

Pittsburgh is a dangerous spot for Washington to land.

Fun fact, it wouldn't let me put in "Hooker" due to perceived profanity.

There it is. 😆

Wouldn't put it past Holmes to package the 4th and a 5th (and maybe Swift) to move back into the late 3rd if he sees someone he really likes. It would be difficult for five more players at this stage to make this team.

I'm not calling Hooker Joe Burrow. But. He was on a Burrow-like trajectory with what he was doing at Tennessee until he tore his ACL. He was a Heisman contender on a 9-1 Tennessee team and then he went down and everyone saw his age and injury and shied away. I'm not calling Hooker Joe Burrow. He was probably never going to go 1.1 because of his age and Young/Stroud being there. But the upside is there, and if he had stayed healthy and won the Heisman, he's probably looking at going #4 to the Colts. In the 3rd round, even if the worst case scenario comes to fruition and he never even sees the field, it's a 3rd round bust. Kind of like Iffy is looking like. If it wasn't clear, I'm not calling Hooker Joe Burrow.

That would have made more sense when we traded to get above Robert Kraft.

Is the #69 available for Hooker's jersey? Asking for a friend.

Khang is on a roll tonight.

He might not be able to wait until Monday to get in front of a mic lol

It's very interesting that the Lions traded back not once but twice before selecting Hooker. That doesn't exactly exude confidence that he's your 2024 or 2025 starting QB. Ultimately I like it because I think the upside is through the roof for a 3rd round pick. Worst case he never sees the field, and that sucks for a 3rd, but it's also not the end of the world (like a 1st round QB busting could be).

I thought the same thing lol

I think it's probably more likely that Goff gets an extension next year than it is we transition to Hooker as our next starter. I don't hate it as a 3rd round pick.

Wowza.

Missed opportunity a few years back for Rodgers to announce Love.

On the clock. Maybe even for real this time.

PSA: the 's' in Illinois is silent.

I think Hooker goes to Denver at #67.

In German.

Tillman and Antonio Johnson are still on the board as players I ID'd before the 2nd round. Johnson is a possible plug-and-play slot corner, but only a fit if they see Branch as a safety.

This is the third time they've done the military pandering bit in the 2nd round alone.

I'm wondering if they have someone in mind or if they just think there are a lot of lottery tickets left.

Poor ASB. Jeudy and a 2024 1st or Holmes is dead to me.
