Laramy Tunsil took a bong rip in a gas mask. The only thing that died was the bag of Doritos he scarfed down afterwards. Jalen Carter was allegedly drag racing at an insane rate of speed, allegedly weaving into the wrong lane of traffic. He was not only stupid to put someone else's life in danger, but his own life. Ultimately, someone did die that evening and while it may not have been exactly correlated to what Carter was doing, it was at least adjacent to it. Then, Carter showed up out of shape and not ready to work at his own pro day. And if he's depressed and feels bad about what happened I get that. He's a human being who was there when another human being, who was his friend, lost his life, as a result of something stupid being done. I would hope he feels bad and feels remorse for what happened. But showing up to a job interview in the manner which he did, his pro day, was not ok. He needed to get himself together and ready for the pro day and be open and honest with the world about the horrible situation. I don't know that he did either of those things.

Would you have drafted Reggie Rogers?

Detroit Free Press: Detroit Lions' Bob Quinn to Matthew Stafford: 'We're not trading you. Period.' Among other things, when he said they weren't moving on from Stafford. "I called Matthew and I said, 'Listen, I haven’t had one conversation. I’m not trying to — we’re not trading you. Period,' " Quinn said.

That's not true. Bob Quinn told the entire world the Lions weren't drafting a QB in the first round in 2020.

Reggie Rogers too.

Marco Kasper getting called up. When I was clamoring for the Wings to draft him last year I had honestly only read scouting reports and watched him on highlight tapes and maybe parts of a few different games. He looked like a high IQ player who had great hands and was a wizard with the puck on his stick but just needed to find his scoring touch. So glad to see he is getting the call up and chance to play in the men's league already.

That's gonna be one small thumbprint.

Guess who wasn't indicted today? GUESS WHO!!!

Does drafting a player at an underutilized position, with a short shelf life, in RB, constitute as a reach? I think if we are comparing drafting Joey Porter Jr. vs Christian Gonzalez or Nolan Smith vs Tyree Wilson at #6, the talent disparity isn't gigantic and it wouldn't be an egregious reach to take one over the other. However, when you throw in a guy like Bijan and recognize that even good RBs have a shorter shelf life than most players and they play at a position that is becoming increasingly devalued in the NFL, I think that's a reach too far. I'd have to get at least one of the top non-RB positions on my board before taking Bijan. Preferably, I'd like to get two of those guys and bump drafting a RB to the 2nd round or later.

I can maybe get behind the idea of Bijan at #18 but at #6, I just can't do it. I'd want Holmes to go and draft Skoronski at #6 before Bijan. The shelf life of a running back is just too short and this draft has a decent amount of backs that could be found later on. If Holmes to Bijan at #6 I would really question that.

The smoke is Dave Birkett at the Free Press mocking Skoronski to the Lions. The belief is that Birkett has contacts in Allen Park and people that probably give him information and tidbits from time to time. It's not like some national beat writer mocked Skoronski to the Lions, Dave Birkett did, so that is about the most reputable smoke there.

I believe they'll be picking a WR in the draft too. I'm still in on the idea of them drafting Quentin Johnston at #18 as a long-term option for our outside receiver.

Love them bringing back Marvin Jones. They needed a bigger, outsides, X Receiver and Jones fits the bill.

What is Taylor Decker's trade value? Is there a realistic world where the Lions do draft Skoronski, move Sewell to LT, put Skoronski in at RT and trade Decker during the draft?

New song out from Jason Isbell.

If the Lions move their HQ to Detroit then the city should implement a wealth tax of 2% on all wealth over $50 million and should be capturing more resources for their low-income and impoverished residents. No reason that wealthy ownership and players can't pay their fair share.

That's BS then! If the Ford Family wants a new practice facility they should pay for it. Not a damn dime should be going to subsidize a team that has a billion dollar net worth and a family that has billions in wealth.

Is the Ford Family paying for their own brand new practice facility or will they be like corporate welfare queens and slumlord Ilitches and ask for taxpayers to bail them out?
