W Anderson, T Wilson, M Murphy, and K White (and maybe L Van Ness) all look to be uber-athletic, 3 down DEs. White might have the highest ceiling among this group; and could be available early in the second round.

Fox cannot argue statements were not false; judge said they were false; Fox can only now argue false statements were not made with malice.

partial SJ motion granted against Fox

Malloy at 3b; let's see how that works. starting 3 (oops just 2) guys 30+ years-old seems suboptimal

for the GOP? great for America? not so good

hard to see Josh McDaniels giving Carter the direction he needs.

8 of Avila's guys + Vierling = winner

I rarely see OL listed as a need, but to me the need is high. The back up OT is the starting RG, who missed last season with a back injury, and is in the last year of his deal, just like the starting LG and their main back up, who also back ups an oft injured C. I have seen a few mocks with Skoronski available at 18 - but I doubt he will be.

that's about 40 acres

it is utter BS, I know, but at a minimum asking Detroit to pick up some of the infrastructure changes is a pretty standard ask

little of both I would assume

the area immediately North of Ford Field is just about 40 acres. not sure which teams have facilities that close to their stadium.

I'm sure these meetings are important, but this meeting is really important - more important for the Lions than Carter. Holmes and Campbell have the franchise pointed in the right direction. I'll trust what ever call they (and Glenn) make on Carter.

good; would have been really annoying to have a 32-year old eating up at bats Schoop won't last to June McKinstry has a solid AAA track record of what Harris claims he wants from batters, and the LAD contingent knows him

decent mock here, expect for one pick https://www.pff.com/news/draft-2023-nfl-mock-draft-three-qbs-first-three-picks-colts-christian-gonzalez 3. DETROIT LIONS (VIA ARI): QB ANTHONY RICHARDSON, FLORIDA Trade: Detroit sends Nos. 6, 48, 81, 2024 1st, 2024 4th; Arizona sends No. 3

the amount of deliberate disinformation is hard to quantify as well; 6 seems likely to be the first inflection point in the draft, if Anderson, Carter and the 3 top QBs are gone

LOL

this CBS one makes sense to me: 16 Q Johnston, dropping from 6 to 16, picking up a 3rd (#97) from Washington and their 1st next year 18 B Robinson

where does Carter ever makes sense? if he is there at 18, would Holmes pass again?

this is Fox Sports mock draft/trade; 11 and 41 to Det for 6 and 152; that seems light for Det 6. TRADE: Tennessee Titans (from Detroit): Will Levis, QB, Kentucky It's hard to imagine Ryan Tannehill returning after this season as the Titans rebrand. They're close enough to move up and get their next quarterback in Levis. Tennessee has moved on from a ton of veterans this offseason, so the Titans package their top two picks (11 and 41) to get the No. 6 pick and a fifth-round pick back. Detroit now has four picks in the top 55, and Tennessee has a quarterback it can transition to over the next year.

today's Athletic mock: 6 Wilson (DE); 18 Banks (CB); and 27 Washington (TE). Guy is a unicorn but that is a lot to pay. Pass. Lions trade No. 48, 55, 183 and 194 to the Bills for 27 and 137 Surprise, surprise. Folks in Detroit might still be scarred by first-round tight ends, but I’m not.

I doubt Holmes does not move both up and down, but no trades could work as well

yes; they absolutely deserve the benefit of the doubt, no matter which way they fall on Carter

Holmes stayed put in 21 and 22 and the guys he wanted were still available and 7 and 2. Maybe that is just luck. But it is not impossible to believe that Anderson will be there at 6. If not, would be nice to trade down because the talent pool seems to be deep and wide but without elite players outside of Anderson and Bijan (and possibly Richardson). Of course, Holmes is obviously not afraid to move up when he wants a guy.
