I know that Brad Holmes is not really a needs first type of drafter. I know he looks for top talent on his board + culture fit for this team when drafting before solely looking at needs. I also know he'll have a big board that will have X amount of players with a first round grade and will be likely to only want to draft one of those players he has a first round grade on at pick 29. Which means if he doesn't have 29 players on his board with a first round grade, I could see him move up to grab one or move back to accumulate picks. Personally, I'd love for Holmes to balance out focusing on BPA and still manage to address a major need this team has at the CB position. But if all the CBs that have first round grades are gone by the time we're picking at 29 then I think he's looking at his board and picking elsewhere positionally. He won't draft a CB just for the sake of it and. If there is another player, at another position, that Holmes has graded higher, he's picking that guy instead of taking a CB for the sake of need. All that previously stated, I unless a dynamic edge rusher falls in our lap, I really want us to draft a Corner in light of the Cam Sutton situation. I feel pretty confident that both Quinyon Mitchell and Terrion Arnold will be gone by the time we pick. I also feel both of the top DE/Edge in Turner and Verse will be gone. Barring a big trade up, we aren't drafting either player. These are the players I want for each of the first three rounds, First Round: My top choices but like gone. 1. Quinyon Mitchell/CB 2. Terrion Arnold/CB 3. Jared Verse/Edge 4. Dallas Turner/Edge First Round: Players more likely to be there for the Lions. 5. Cooper Dejean/CB 6. Nate Wiggins/CB 7. Laiatu Latu/Edge 8. Kool-Aid McKinstry/CB 9. Jackson Powers-Johnson/IOL 10. Chop Robinson/Edge 11. Zach Fraizer/IOL 12. Adonai Mitchell/WR 13. Brian Thomas Jr./WR Second Round: 1. Zach Frazier/IOL 2. Keon Coleman/WR 3. Jonah Ellis/Utah 4. Ladd McConkey/WR 5. TJ Tampa/CB 6. Bralen Trice/Edge

20234-24 14-68. Now what? (The 2024 Offseason thread)
Mr.TaterSalad replied to Motor City Sonics's topic in Detroit Pistons
Is it pointless to fire Troy Weaver as GM without also firing the bum of a Team President/Chief Executive that hired him in the first place in Arn Tellem? Also, firing shouldn't we be firing Tellem's son, who should have never been giving the Director of Scouting job in the first place? Why would we allow Tellem to hire another GM when he's the one that brought us Weaver. -

I wonder what a person like this thinks women's rights, LGBTQ rights, civil rights, voting rights, and reproductive rights will look like after 4 years of Trump and him appointing god knows how many more conservative justices and potentially getting yet another Supreme Court appointment?

Kids aren't the answer, this is a men's league. Oh wait, wrong GM. I too would like to go with Cossa to start next season. Even if we hang onto Husso and his cap hit, his play when he's actually been on the ice doesn't exactly warrant him getting more opportunities than Cossa at this point. I think it is time to give Cossa big league minutes and see what we really have in him. Well, as long as he isn't asked to have Petry and Chairot be his primary defensive defenseman.

It's amazing what kind of outcome you can get with a biased and non-critical jury pool. A man who murdered his wife and another human being in cold blood got off because of a shriveled up glove with dried blood on it, a racist cop, and celebrity status. Never mind that all the actual evidence pointed to him being guilty. RIP Nicole Brown and Ronald Goldman.

Do we know that Bates is a culture fit though? Think of someone like Evan McPherson when he sat on the sidelines to watch the Super Bowl halftime show instead of being in the locker room with his teammates. That would NEVER fly here.

These Pastor Gas videos of televangelist preacher and TV huckster Robert Tilton "farting" are the best. When they time the fart with Tilton saying maybe they'll put that one on TV . . . HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Desperation maybe?

A must have game and this offense is outscoring them 27-16 and we're still scoreless and down 2-0.

Rizzo has had it looks like 3 years with an OPS north of 900 and another 5 seasons with a north of 800 OPS. In all of those seasons he never struck out more than 120 times and several of those years he was below 100 strikeouts. Last season is really the only full season reference point we have. So hopefully he can trend more in the Rizzo direction from here on out, and not the Rob Deer direction. I agree that if he develops into a Rizzo type of player it would be a net positive for this team's future.
-
I'm certainly willing to give him more time and coaching to improve. I want to think he can improve his overall plate approach and work to be a more patient hitter, capable of putting more balls in play. That said, two seasons in a row he's off to a rough start and trending in the wrong direction.
-
And he hit 31 HRs, batted .233, had a .758 OPS and struck out 171 times. I get it, it was his first full season in the bigs and he's not exactly surrounded by talented hitters. So he deserves times and patience for sure. But those numbers, they are Rob Deer-esque to me. Strike out or hit a home run with too few balls in play in between.
-
Is Torkelson trending to be a Rob Deer type of player in that he'll hit 25-30 HRs per season, have a sub 750-800 OPS, bat somewhere between .230-.260 and strikeout 140 times in a season? He sure seems like a Rob Deer-esque player to me. He'll swing for the fences and either hit a homer or KO. He'll put few balls put in play and leave himself nothing in between hitting it out of the park or striking out.

Happy Solar Eclipse day! Remember, don't look directly into the eclipse without the special glasses. It can both damage your retina and make you the moron of the office.

Not entirely no. They are allowing, in small doses, more profanity and a little bit of blood on the shows now. They aren't allowing the amount of blood and profanity they had when Austin was the main guy on the show. There is also much more respect for women in today's WWE product than in the Attitude Era.

Wrestlemania 40 is this weekend and I haven't been this excited for a Wrestlemania in ages and ages. Now that Vince McMahon is gone from WWE and not in charge of the creative direction of the company things are sooooooooo much more interesting to watch.

I agree with this sentiment regarding Biden and older voters. The GOP is still pushing the cut Social Security and Medicare narrative. They are still out there trashing the ACA as well. These are all things that are popular with older voters. Combine that with the obvious dysfunction and bad behavior of Trump and I think that scares and/or turns off a lot of over 60 voters. It also directly threatens their financial wellbeing when you talk about cutting Social Security or rolling back Medicare being able to negotiate lower drug prices.

He absolutely should and Egypt should be receiving international pressure and condemnation for closing off their border and doing next to nothing to help refugees in Gaza.
