Mr.TaterSalad

Looks like Cephus and Moore have been released.

Quentin Johnston come on down at #18.

We have to get another receiver in there now. We can't start out the season with Marvin Jones as our #2.

Bijan Robinson was born four years after fax machines became non-essential forms of communicating with your employer.

I guess given Holmes' statement on Carter that he is on their draft board and is under legitimate and real consideration. If Holmes feels comfortable taking Jalen Carter after the interview than I will trust him to do so. I still have Nick Fairley-esque concerns about him, but I trust this front office and coaching staff enough to make the right call on taking Carter. I don't believe them drafting Carter will be one of those Mayhew taking Titus Young or Bob Quinn "I've never watched more game tape on anyone than Teez Tabor" type of moments. In Holmes I trust and so if Carter is the pick I will feel satisfied with it.

You're a player or two away from being the lead dog in the NFC next year. I'm drafting someone who I think can come right in, contribute at a high level now, and still be a great player overtime. That's Will Anderson, that's Tyree Wilson, maybe that's Jalen Carter, Devon Witherspoon, or Christian Gonzalez. I don't think that is any of the QBs. They won't be serious contributors for a year or more. With Goff being one of the 7-8 best QBs in the NFL the past year and a half, I see no reason to run him out of town as many tried doing, most notably me, with Stafford for half a decade. I see no reason to pass on a player who can elevate us to the top now in favor of a QB unless you believe Goff can't sustain the high level of play he's shown on field.

I watched a small bit of RFK's announcement and is his voice always that horse? Maybe he has covid?

I knew Jack Kennedy, Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy!

I will laugh my ever loving ass off if we swing a trade for a player myself and others originally wanted in 2021. Also, this is a good lesson in why a win now team, with a good enough QB to win, shouldn't surrender first round picks for the latest hot name QB. I wonder how much better San Francisco's roster would be if they had drafted Penei Sewell, Ja'Marr Chase or Micah Parsons. I can't believe I'm saying this though because I was always someone chasing after the latest and greatest rookie QB and wanted Trey Lance in the 2021 draft. It's not to say you never draft a rookie QB, but for a good team, with a good QB, to surrender a lot of first round draft capital to go and do it, it doesn't always make sense to do so.

We have a chance to be a special team next year. As good or better than the 1991 team that went 12-4 and probably one of, if not the best, Lions team, in many of our lives. The #6 pick needs to be used on an impact player who can both start right away and make an impact on this team next year. A player that can elevate our team to the next level. You don't use the #6 pick to draft a backup, only to decide which QB you want later. Arizona used their #10 1st round pick on Josh Rosen and traded him a year later for significantly less value than what they acquired him for.

At first I thought about Kahn and thought for sure he'd be a Democrat because he's an immigrant with an accent. Then I remember he is from Laos and that is a communist country. So I could see Kahn being similar to many of the Republican Cuban Hispanics in Florida and conflating public assistance programs with a communist military junta and state secret police.

Wasn't Peggy a public school teacher? Wouldn't she be a union member? I agree that Dale and Bill would be full MAGA. Probably Boomhower too.

NFL.com Scouting Report on CJ Stroud from Greg Zierlein is literally our QB. So drafting Goff's replacement to hope he ends up exactly like Jared Goff.

Hank Hill likely would not support a 23% sales tax on propane and propane accessories. That said, something tells me Hank would probably wear a MAGA hat. Homer Simpson too. I'd at least hope Hank had the good decency to still love his son Bobby once he found out about Bobby's sexuality.

We had a President called D*ck.

The party of fighting inflation's answer to fighting inflation and lowering costs is to add a 23% consumption/sales tax on everything you purchase. Can't wait to see the price of eggs or a carton of milk after this passes. This will be a great message for 2024, take away your Social Security, take away your Medicare, make you work for Medicaid benefits so when you have cancer you can keep working, and now, pay a 23% consumption tax on everything you buy. Sounds like a winning message to me.

RIP Sam Kinison. He was before my time but I love listening to his standup.

They were talking about this on Pod Save America yesterday and saying that Tom Cotton already came out and said Republicans will not allow a temporary replacement for her, nor will Republicans as a whole be in any hurry to allow an appointment to replace her on the committee. They were basically saying what you said, either she shows up to the Senate or it remains vacant.

When I was a kid my dad and I were at a party store on Canton Center and Sheldon Rds. in Canton. My dad had a black Ford Probe and the car next to us was a black car also. As we were exiting the party store this older lady opened the passenger side door of his car and started to sit down inside of it. That was until her husband spoke up and asked her why she was getting into the wrong car. We all laughed about it and she got up and walked into her and her husbands car. I guess my dad would have been justified in blowing her away though under the white persons MAGA doctrine of self defense.

Under the MAGA and right wing doctrine of self defense that lady would have been justified to pull out a gun and just start firing it at you. The far right believes that property is sacred and people are not. That without property rights you have no rights and so defending your turf is one of the most important things you can do for yourself and to protect your freedoms.

I've never understood why are white people so afraid of whose at their door or who could be lurking around a corner. I don't look at every knock on my door as a situation that could harm me. I don't think that I need to go grab a knife from my kitchen or a baseball bat because that knock might be the one that kills me.

Letting Golladay walk and not signing Robinson are two great moves by Brad Holmes.

I know these aren't NFL draft boards and actual teams boards will look a heck of a lot different than internet boards. I also get that #6 is probably too high and would require a trade back. But . . . He's the #10 rated player of PFFs big board, the #9 rated player on Draft Buzz, #11 on The Draft Network's big board, #10 on Charlie Campbell's big board.

I think Cincinnati and their 3-headed monster at WR makes the case for drafting Johnston. Just as they have Chase and Higgins on the outside at the X and Z spots and Boyd in the slot, we would have Johnston and Williams on the outside at X and Z and St. Brown on the inside. If you're an opposing team you can't double up on anyone with all three guys on the field. Its the same case as was made for trading for Higgins in earlier in the offseason.

I'm a bit higher on Gonzalez due to his measurables and him being a taller, lengthier CB. But I'd be just fine with either guy being drafted. I'm also not one of those "YOU CAN'T DRAFT A CB THIS EARLY" folks because it has been such a position of need for the Lions and we're in a passing league. I would be upset if they passed on Will Anderson for a Corner and mildly disappointed if they drafted one over Wilson. But other than Sutton, we don't have a Corner signed long term on this team and still have a need there, s either Gonzalez or Witherspoon would be fine by me.
