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.

Where did you go to law school at?

This whole White House is turning into the Gulf of Sorrento.

Crooked Trump!

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?

Rashawn Slater only has 33 inch arms, slightly bigger than Skoronski's 33 1/4th inch arms. I'm not in on taking Skoronski in the first round and certainly not at #6. That said, if the Holmes did draft him at #6, #18, or in a trade back, as a means to replace Taylor Decker long term, I would understand and accept it. I don't know how Slater and Skoronski compare athletically, but Skoronski had a good RAS at 8.89. In my extremely limited knowledge, he seems to look athletic and strong enough on tape to play LT in the NFL. But who knows, maybe he isn't and maybe his short arms will get him bullied around.

Amazing that we can't have real, common-sense gun safety reforms and gun control because people want to cosplay as cowboys, police, soldiers, and warriors. I remember hearing the pro life right get worked up over furry and cat cosplayers and non-existent litterboxes in schools. But when kids are actually dying in schools and on the streets at the hands of guns, the pro life right is quick to side with the cosplayers.

Even if they don't want him to run they'll still vote for him and he'll likely beat that indicted bitch on the other side. Have fun losing again. 🙂

It isn't about them being stupid as much as it is desperation. GMs do desperate things all the time, especially for a QB, to try to improve their franchise and save their own asses. Look at what Ryan Pace did trading up to get Justin Fields. He mortgaged the Bears and his own future just to get a QB. The Chargers that year had Easton Stick and Tyrod Taylor signed at the QB position that year once they let Philip Rivers go. If the Lions had drafted Herbert and the Dolphins Tua, where were the Chargers going to find their starter at? Not in free agency, because all the halfway decent guys were signed by then. I'm not continuing this topic after this but I firmly believe that Bob Quinn failed in his responsibility to gin up the necessary belief in other teams minds that he was taking a QB. Brad Holmes' comments from the other day signal an all options on the table approach, which is the right message to send IMO. Bob Quinn's message at the time seemed to cement that the Lions weren't drafting a QB, period. San Diego had no need to worry because they'd get either Tua or Herbert because they knew the Lions weren't taking a QB and were hanging onto Stafford.
