Pretty sure the one center miss was Billy Price, the center taken immediately after Ragnow in 2018. Good thing not even Bob Quinn could screw that up.

McVay has admitted he made mistakes when Goff was in LA. I don't think it makes a ton of sense, but I understand the logic behind putting an injured QB1 who can still run a limited offense of handoffs and misdirections over putting a QB4 Josh Johnson or Christian McCaffery in at QB like the 49ers had to do last year in the playoffs.

I don't think you can detach his hand injury from his performance that year and in the playoffs though. Knowing what I know now about Goff, I don't think he was bad, I think he was injured. I think the media certainly played it off as him being just bad. And the Rams did him no favors in that regard, it's pretty clear that they thought he was just bad too. As for the playoff game, I think McVay, knowing Goff was hurt and already thinking that Goff was just bad, put Wolford in over him, despite Goff saying he could play if needed. So then when they needed him, he went back in, performed poorly, and it just added to the narrative.

Maybe I misunderstood the prompt...... hmm....

1. Charles Rogers 2. Joey Harrington 3. Andre Ware Honorable mentions to Reggie Rogers, Mike Williams, and Jahlani Tavai.

I wouldn't forget about Brodric Martin at the DT position. I think his job is more safe than Onwuzurike's at this point, and he's likely a part of their long-term plans in one way or another.

Probably not, but more so because we already have two 4ths next year. If we want a guy like Frazier, I probably would go down seven spots for a 3rd next year.

It’s my draft so Arizona can make any stupid decisions I decide they make. 😉 But the point chart roughly works out. I went between the two 4ths and a 2025 3rd.

Here's my final mock draft: Chicago Bears: Caleb Williams, QB, USC Washington Commanders: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU New England Patriots: JJ McCarthy, QB, Michigan Minnesota Vikings (Trade w/ ARI): Drake Maye, QB, UNC Los Angeles Chargers: Marvin Harrison Jr., WR, Ohio State New York Giants: Malik Nabers, WR, LSU Tennessee Titans: Joe Alt, OT, Notre Dame Atlanta Falcons: Dallas Turner, EDGE, Alabama Chicago Bears: Troy Fautanu, OT/OG, Washington New York Jets: Brock Bowers, TE, Georgia Arizona Cardinals (Trade w/ MIN): Rome Odunze, WR, Washington Denver Broncos: Byron Murphy II, DT, Texas Las Vegas Raiders: Olumuyiwa Fashanu, OT, Penn State New Orleans Saints: JC Latham, OT, Alabama Indianapolis Colts: Terrion Arnold, CB, Alabama Seattle Seahawks: Troy Fautanu, OT/OG, Washington Jacksonville Jaguars: Kool-Aid McKinstry, CB, Alabama Cincinnati Bengals: Johnny Newton, DT, Illinois Los Angeles Rams: Cooper DeJean, DB, Iowa Pittsburgh Steelers: Amarius Mims, OT, Georgia Miami Dolphins: Jared Verse, EDGE, Florida State Philadelphia Eagles: Laiatu Latu, EDGE, UCLA Detroit Lions (Trade* w/ ARI thru MIN & HOU): Quinyon Mitchell, CB, Toledo Dallas Cowboys: Jackson Powers-Johnson, IOL, Oregon Green Bay Packers: Nate Wiggins, CB, Clemson Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Troy Fuaga, OG/OT, Oregon State Arizona Cardinals: Chop Robinson, EDGE, Penn State Buffalo Bills: Brian Thomas Jr., WR, LSU Arizona Cardinals (Trade w/ DET): Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia Las Vegas Raiders (Trade w/ BAL): Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington San Francisco 49ers: Tyler Guyton, OT, Oklahoma Kansas City Chiefs: Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas *Trade: #29 and both 2025 4ths to Arizona for #23. 61. Detroit Lions: Keon Coleman, WR, Florida State 73. Detroit Lions: Zak Zinter, OG, Michigan 164. Detroit Lions: Austin Booker, EDGE, Kansas 201. Detroit Lions: Jase McClellan, RB, Alabama 205. Detroit Lions: Logan Lee, DT, Iowa 249. Detroit Lions: Ryan Watts, S, Texas

7-6 final in Winnipeg. Lyon and Reimer can be heard saying "I could have done that".

I haven't looked, but FWIW Charlie Campbell's write-up went beyond that of a simple rumor and came with a direct quote from an NFC executive: McKinstry did have better production in 2022 compared to what he has done this year. Thus far in 2023, he has 21 tackles and five passes broken up. In 2022, he became a full-time starter and recorded 35 tackles, a sack, an interception and 15 passes broken up. As a freshman in 2021, he collected 26 tackles and an interception. Each one of the sources shared they felt that the cornerback starting across from McKinstry, Terrion “Ghost” Arnold, is the better pro prospect. Alabama is trying to convince Arnold to return to the program for next year by saying things like he could be a top-20 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft with more development and a good season. However, NFL team sources already like Arnold more than McKinstry. McKinstry is being projected as a late first- or second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft to a team that likes to play press-man coverage.

I'd be pretty meh about any of the IOLmen. I trust Holmes completely, so I wouldn't be upset, but I just don't see any of the Day 1 guards or centers (JPJ, Fautanu, Fuaga) being head and shoulders above the Day 2 guards and centers (Zinter, Barton, Frazier, Beebe, Robinson, etc.).

It looked like some mulch was added around the letters too today which was a nice touch.

I passed the I-94 DETROIT sign today... It wasn't as bad as it looked in pictures.

I looked it up, it'll be a decal on the helmet. One step closer to not referencing him at all, and at least when I purchase a jersey it won't be defaced with the initials. I really hated that if you can't tell.

Sure looks like it, which automatically makes this jersey upgrade a win.

I'm thinking of getting ASB in white, Hutch in black, and Goff in blue... If Jamo switches to #1 I may consider him in blue or black too. I would bet that for all the strong feelings about it in both directions, the black will be the best selling of the three.

Everyone who hates them will come around once they win a game in them

Contrary opinion but I'm okay with a black jersey alternate. I think something like the model below, without the WCF, looks great as a once-a-season MNF look. I agree that the old black uniforms looked bad.

They tried to get me to buy uniform reveal party tickets for $10. I finally reached my limit on money I will throw at this organization.

Getting a true #1 goalie would help too. Reimer made some clutch stops but you can’t keep expecting your offense to put up five goals a game.

It’s just the Lions track. Big wins to finish the season, missing the playoffs due to other teams, come back the next season and make a run.

Way too early. They were doing well in 5x5, getting chances. They got desperate.

Why the **** are they pulling the goalie that early?

All down to two 20-minute periods being played 471 miles apart.
