Imo, the Wings got more for Mantha.

Last year I had Robbie Grossman on my fantasy team, and thought he'd be a good fit for the Tigers. This year, I had Tucker Barnhardt and felt the same about him. Next year, I'll have Wander...well, I'll also have Torkelson and Greene.

Tua sucks. Worse than Goff.

I was listening to a game on my am stereo, when I caught a ball and Ernie said that a man from Sterling Heights caught the ball, and Jim Price said "nice area". This story is bullshit.

And I think he's like Jones with the Patriots. Doesn't wow you, but a consistent NFL passer.

Yes, first round. Need to see more of him, but I like what I've seen so far.

Pickett throws a pretty ball. He's very accurate, most of his incompletions are throw aways.

Don't bother guessing until the new CBA is born.

I'm officially on the Kenny Pickett hype train. He was outstanding in the win against Clemson. That's a major league defense. And Drake London is climbing the charts, he's now thought of as a top 10 pick. https://gbnreport.com/2022-gbn-big-board/

That is such a tough choice, but the right one to make. My wife had no family history that she knows of, and luckily she only needed 2 lumpectomies. It was microscopic, so they couldn't find it the first time. She only has two more treatments left, then she'll be done with chemo.

It will only affect those on 40 man rosters, according to Baseball America.

This years draft will be ok for QB's, mediocre for WR, lukewarm/meh for TE, extremely good for Dline, and really exceptional for CB's. Also deep in Safeties and linebackers. I think the Lions have needs all over the field obviously. If I had 1-1, I'd take Kayvon Thibodeaux from Oregon, and make him an OLB opposite Okwara, and try to trade Flowers before the draft for more picks.

There's no way the Lions would even look at him with everything that's hanging over him. The Lions just need to look at the draft right now. Right now, I would skip this year's QB bunch, and build up the defense and receiver corp. It's not a great year for receivers, but the Lions have extra picks. I like the 2023 QB class more than the 2022.

Basically, I would love for the Tigers to follow their model, they really know how to build on their talent base. They are mostly built through the draft, and get extra picks every year.

Is Tampa tanking?

Draft the best players. Going to need a lot of them everywhere.

Hinch stated from day one that Tork was going to just play first base at Toledo.

He seems to have the frame for power stuff, am I correct?

He's throwing it, FG has him down for 13.2% of the time. https://www.fangraphs.com/players/casey-mize/20492/stats?position=P

Lamar might be light for him. Willis has a freaking hose.

Or he is anticipating the comp picks will replace the picks he traded.

I was in the Army, so any inference to drunken sailors makes me giggle.

Also, a word about this draft class. I'm not crazy about the talent at the top of the draft. I don't see a superstar in Thibodeaux, he's long and lean, but not super explosive. It's a lean group of wide receivers, but a great group of corners at the top end. Everybody is knocking this QB class, but there is talent there, and there's plenty to choose from. Talent wise, Malik Willis of Liberty might be the most talented player in this class. He has a hose for an arm, and great feet. Similar to Lamar Jackson.

The Lions also have at least 3 comp picks, including a 3rd for losing Golladay. They are minus their 4th (trade with Cleveland), fifth (Trinity Benson) and 7th (ditto) picks. 1. Their own 1. LA Rams 2. Their own 3. Their own 3. Comp pick 6. Their own 6. Comp pick? 7. Comp pick? IMO, they need more picks. Trading down would be good.

Please no! Gimmicky.
