Rashee Rice should be available soon if we want an X Receiver.
The guy has career earnings of $2.5 million. Which means after taxes and agent fees he’s earned about a million. Now, instead of letting Pat Mahomes set him up for life, he’s going to have to spend most of the rest of his money on lawyers and he is one more incident from being unsignable.

The point is the Lions are not going to spend high draft picks or major free agent dollars on a de who can rush the passer but can’t really man up in the run game, so they might as well stop projecting them to the lions.
And they saw the top two CBs on their board as the draft’s best in run support, in addition to their coverage skills.
BTW, haven’t they heard this is a passing league? 😉

Cheaper than Reynolds.

If Lalonde's comments at the end of the season are any indication then he would probably want Danielson up on the main roster. Lalonde's comments indicated he wanted to give more kids a chance. It would be something to see all of Edvinsson, Mazuer, Wallinder, and Danielson all up on the main roster early on in the season next year.
He knows his seat is already warm with the vets and will only get hotter, even though this season was their ceiling.

He was getting a pizza from Hungry Howie's most likely.
I can’t believe I forgot that one!

Nate is on another level right now, no surprise moving to a better team made his points explode but he's leading the team too. I think he's tied for 3rd for WHL playoff points overall right now too. For a guy that plays a complete game this is great to see.
It would be so great if he comes to camp next year and wins a job.

As long as it's not for an achilles injury it probably shouldn't be that big of deal. Still though rather him not be injured though so def not good news.
Injured playing Guitar Hero? Kicking an octopus? Chasing Joseph Fauria’s fake dog down the fake stairs?

I was probably 22 or so when I realized that Mel Kiper was really just a used car salesman
if he consistenly knew how to identify talent better than teams, he would have been hired, paid a lot of money and given a lot of power to build a team
just like I did not care very much that the 2023 crop was disparaged, i don't care that people really like the 2024 class
Brad knows what he is doing, full stop; 3 great drafts prove it; the only surprise will be if the 2024 class does not turn out to be good (even if any one pick does not make it)
We saw what happened with Mike Mayock.
And if you’re Chicago, with the 1st and 9th picks in a QB rich draft it is impossible that you don’t win the draft. Can they turn it into a winning football team? Let’s see.

...I don't think there are too many QBs who don't struggle when protection breaks down or players missing blocking assignments....
Yes, that was the point.
For the record, I hope Goff gets paid. He came to a bad, bad football team after a bad breakup with the team that drafted him. He looked bad at the start of his tenure but almost everyone around him was bad. He is every bit as much of this turnaround as St. Brown, Sewell, and Hutch.

Injuries happen but with the new defensive additions, including Reader, there is not really a weak unit.

If you're Chark it'd probably be nice to win a game or two and be thrown to by Goff instead of Bryce Young too.
Or, you know, maybe win a Super Bowl.

Any WR they may sign will be no better than the sixth offensive option, behind Montgomery, Gibbs, ASB, LaPorta, and Williams. They’ll be fighting with Kalif Raymond for three targets a game.
I’d guess Brad has given Chark’s agent suggested terms on a one year deal, but both parties are waiting for the market to settle after the draft and before training camp. But Chark developed a rapport with Goff and it would be surprising if there wasn’t mutual interest. I would love to see him back.

Goff struggled when protection broke down or players missed blocking assignments. But he knows where to go with the ball when the blitz is coming.

I feel like this staff has a plan for players and they are patient. I don't think anyone would have been shocked if Melifonwu did not make the roster out of training camp. The coaching staff was patient and committed to converting him to safety and it paid off.
Yes, and they have been players, so they rarely put players in roles they can't handle. And if they do, like with Cam Sutton last year, they back him up publicly when he is seen to be in over his head. What a massive change between that turd Patricia and the MCDC regime.

DPD said two arrests and two juvenile detentions all weekend. That's incredible. Detroit should be proud.
Oddly, all were related to Cam Sutton.

Good find. That would make him the potential RG of the future, Mahogany the tentative LG, with some flexibility if it's not working (considering Glasglow is effectively signed through 2025), and leaves the door open to re-signing Decker. We will need to find a Center at some point, but if Ragnow stays healthy he is signed through 2026 (with an easy out after 2025).
If I had to guess though, they're going to play it slow with Manu. Let him develop and let his skills tell you what he can do. Hope you get a starting guard but if he's got the quickness, let yourself be surprised with a franchise tackle. If he needs more than a year and Zeitler leaves, maybe Mahogony can play RG in 2025, or you sign another one-year guard.
Can you imagine 6’7” 350 pulling across the formation with speed? He will block guys into another dimension.

Franchise altering draft for sure.
Taking nothing away from McNeil, who went from good to great, but Detroit has drafted a lot of players who were OK just skating by on talent and who did not make the extra effort to become great. I’m sure it didn’t hurt McNeil to have tone-setting, culture-changing players like Sewell and St. Brown and others to set expectations.

RE: Manu pick. The guy doesn't get that Holmes wants a winning team more than once. Manu is exactly the kind of investment that a strong existing roster allows the luxury of. If he is a good player in 2 or 3 yrs, Holmes will be a genius again.
This report says they view him as RG. Maybe if he works out at RG they would eventually kick him out to RT then move Sewell to LT.

“Holmes watched the tape and loved the physical traits at 6-foot-7, 351 pounds but with athletic traits that would have put him in the 90 percentile among tackles at the Combine.”
I've seen pics of this guy now. 350 pounds but probably 12% body fat. Never seen anything like it. The closest comp to his body type is the giant statues on Easter Island.
Brad is playing 4D chess here. Not only will the guy take over the left tackle position, he'll also take over left guard at the same time.
