I am shocked that they couldn’t gamble in a hotel.

I’m not convinced they knew they couldn’t. 

Wings picking 9th.  I am SOOOOO shocked.

"fat"

Real troublemaker

Jalen Carter becomes first first-rounder to agree to NFL contract

Or he gets an extension because he won’t overreact to a 3rd round pick.

That explains it

NFLPA advises agents that sports books are snitching on players who use gambling apps

He was only at Tennessee for 2 years.  And the drafted younger = better is confirmation bias.  Better players leave college sooner.

I can’t argue with that one

I’m curious what QB, RB, TE, WR, DT, and LB groups you think they are better than.  Perhaps there isn’t a curve, and many NFL teams have B’s or above across the board.

If you told me who the lions drafted and what picks they had, I don't think I would have matched any of them up.

This is officially my favorite post of the thread. Day 3 may have allowed for a correct pick, but for the first 2 days this is spot on.

The TE groups is a C at best.  RB is C.  WR is closer to C.  DT is a D.  LB is a C.

I love that Hooker has the highest score.  I’m sure it’s positionally biased, but he was playing at an elite level before the injury.

The secret will be to fire a positional coach earlier this year. Week one loss? Sorry Antwaan Randel El.

Randel El is a safe bet.

Run stuffing space eaters are generally not great athletes. They did struggle against the run at times. 

Did you photoshop that!  Holy hell!

What an odd pick. Hooker and now Martin? Is there a carbon monoxide leak in the Lions draft room? 

There has been a leak since day 1!

I mean, if you're not willing to pay Goff why would you pay Hooker? 

I think you are the only one who has said someone doesn't want to pay him.  It was implied that if you draft in the top 10 you might want to consider taking a generational talent at QB because you might not draft that high again for a while.  And an added bonus of drafting that generation talent is they will be cheaper for a bit.  It's not the reason, it's a perk.

Day 2 delivers again!  Well done!

EDIT: Seriously, this might actually end up being the best post in this entire thread.

So what happens if Hooker is good? He's going to be almost as old as Goff when it comes time to sign him. 

Thats a bad thing?  That sounds like an amazing problem to have.  Don't threaten me with a good time.

So did Mayhew.  The trick is to maintain it.

Judging by the amount of followers I would say yes. He's also followed by a lot of trusted NFL people. 

I didn't check followers.  That was smart.  Awesome that he tweeted that then.

Weird from the guy who kept saying trust Holmes before the draft. 

That's the one where the guy presses both.

Everything people complain about Goff:

Weaknesses:

• More of a game manager than a playmaker
• Arm strength is adequate, but not special
• Limited passer

Perfect for a 3rd round backup that frees cash to extend your starter.
