With McNeil injured for the first two-thirds of the season, they drafted for need.

Twitter says Tyleik Williams.

Starks to Baltimore. Lions on the clock.

Baltimore is going to pick Jihaad Campbell aren’t they?

How many receivers can GB put on the field at one time?

Did not want Chicago to get Jeanty. Gone at 6 to the Raiduhs.

I said it a few weeks ago, but I could see them moving up to 20, 21, 22 if one of their guys falls. Who are their guys? My gut tells me athletic freaks like Shermar Stewart and Jihaad Campbell. Otherwise they’ll stay put and pick the best guard available.

It certainly gives a look into the mood of the locker room, and into Larkin’s self-evaluation that he needs help and is not good enough on his own to lead a team into the playoffs.

Buzzing Stevie Y’s tower here.

So Detroit officially has a 5.1% chance at the #2 pick. 🤞🏻

Let the kids play.

From what I read he was subbed out a lot on passing downs and shifted inside. His teammate Nic Scourton is another DE expected to go in 1st round I don’t know if he is the right pick but Holmes has a tendency to move up for athletic freaks. Some are projecting OL but I don’t see that happening.

Would they move up for Shemar Stewart if he fell to the 20/21/22 range?

If Hutch stayed healthy last year the Lions would have won the Super Bowl. No need for a major move.

Two mock drafts in two days have Detroit picking Mike Green. SI (https://www.si.com/nfl/2025-nfl-mock-draft-first-round-predictions-cam-ward-shedeur-sanders-travis-hunter) and Pat Kirwan on Moving the Chains SiriusXM NFL Radio. Leaving aside the allegations against him, it seems he's too small to be the "can crushing" DE they like. Pearce is also expected to be around late in the 1st round but also seems a little undersized and has his own character questions. Mykel Williams from Georgia fits the profile but is expected to go early. With GB picking at 23 and MIN at 24, it wouldn't be a total shock to see Holmes try to move up to 20/21/22 with DEN/PIT/LAC if a guy they love starts to drop.

If I recall correctly, Arnold had a marginal call go against him early in his first game. That set the narrative for the refs who continued not to give him the benefit of the doubt for most of the season. They'll stop picking on him. I'm excited about Mahogany. But you're right, if Manu does not pan out and if Rakestraw can't get healthy this will not be a great draft.

I don't know... Holmes picked a starting CB, he got what appears to be a starting OL in the sixth round, and got a core special teams piece in the 4th round. That's not bad. NFL dot com rates it a C- but a big part of their analysis was how much playing time the draft picks got, so this is in some way also a measure of the weakness of the rosters of the teams who threw their rookies right in. If Manu develops and it turns out Holmes ended up replacing 2/5 of his starting OL for ten years with a 4th and 6th round pick, he will look like a genius.

Yes and yes. Should be easy to eliminate the tush push. Treat it the same as an illegal forward pass. Play negated, five yard penalty. And define an illegal run play as one in which one or more players line up behind a player who receives the snap and attempt to propel the ball carrier forward.

I want it to happen so he can throw a game-losing interception to Kerby Joseph again.

With Hutch and McNeil playing at the level they were playing at before the Hutch injury (not to mention Levi), they did not need anyone else. The problem with having a DPOY candidate is that if he gets injured you can't replace him. But they will use their first round pick (and second and third?) on DL. Mahogany is going to be a stud. He was already an upgrade when he played last year. Not sure what the deal was with Glasgow, maybe he had a lingering injury last year, maybe he struggled at LG, maybe both. But Mahogany will upgrade the line and if Brad thinks Glasgow is the weak link there are replacement players that can be had on a one year deal.

They're "bringing in" Aidan Hutchinson. Then they re-signed Marcus Davenport from the bargain basement, and they will wait for FA market to settle before bringing in one or two other pieces.

Disappointed for Carlton Davis that his one year in Detroit ended the way it did. He was a very good addition, and had he not been injured, things may have turned out much differently for the team in the playoffs. But Reed will be an excellent replacement, and Holmes has a strong enough roster that he can wait for pieces to fall into place.

Will never be NHL head coach again. Will never even get an interview.

I think I saw he had more All Pros than accepted holding penalties. Incredible.
