Something tells me they are going a lot of D this draft.......

I hope you're right. The reason I'm not an AG fan is there were a lot of times he left our CB's in isolation too much with no help. I never understood that. Also there were a bunch of games this year where the Lions were up by a touchdown or FG or even less and the opposing team was allowed to do whatever because he would do max prevent. So he'd rush 4 and the opposing QB had all day to pick us apart and move up the field. It was very frustrating. I'm just personally not a big fan. I hope he gets a true CB1 and I change my mind. I really do. He seems like a good dude, I just don't know if his style is Detroit Style...... But again, I don't know a lot.... so I'm basically talkin out of my behind....

Feel free to post your reviews. Here's mine (please note I am probably the least experienced person to talk about this)....... 1. Can't blame Campbell for this last loss. Too many dropped passes, flukes on plays, giving up a QB running for 75 yards up the middle when I'm faster than him.... Can't blame Campbell. My wife came in all excited as halftime was starting saying "They are up 17 points?!?!?! WOW!". I replied, "It ain't over yet, unfortunately....." 2. Maybe blame Aaron Glenn? - I know a lot of people like him and he's well-respected around the league. Honestly, if he goes though, I wouldn't mind. I'm hoping a team snags him as their new Head Coach. 3. The Lions need to invest in Cornerbacks. - Jerry Jacobs and Cam Sutton Blow.... Hard. I'm talking about the type of blowing you'd find on the corner of Woodward in a skirt. They both need to be cut. Each game has been more and more depressing to watch these two. 4. Lions Draft - CB, CB, DL, OL, WR would be my preference. They need two high Defensive backs and another rusher. Their DB's are the 3rd worst in the league and it cost em. Overall thoughts - Love Campbell's aggressiveness going on 4th down. He's a players coach and I love that he goes for it more than anyone else. - I'm still not sold on Goff being the QB of the future. I would love a more mobile guy and a QB that can actually throw a spiral. All of his throws are wobbly as all get out. - Going into the draft the Lions HAVE to focus on their secondary. They need to cut Jacobs and Sutton. They also need to replenish their Dline and O-line. - The Lions won a lot of games this year they shouldn't have. I am VERY surprised they made it this far. It was fun and exciting. Now having said that, even if I think they are a lot worse than most, blowing a 17-point lead is inexcusable. I get that there were some fluke plays but still, that's nuts. Some players need some soul-searching..... - The Lions overachieved this year but I think next year they have a chance to end up right where they ended this year. They could be a Super Bowl team with a new secondary and some depth. They should have cap space to spend to shore up some things. Here's hoping for one more tremendous draft to get them where they need to be......

You can't blame Campbell on this one.

Should the NHL just shorten the draft to two rounds? Seriously.......

In the last 23 years, 12 Players drafted after the 4th round have made it to the NHL. Five 4th rounders made it (including one guy who played 3 games in the NHL). Are we bad at drafting or is there seriously that big of a talent drop off? If I was Yzerman, I'd be trading every 4th-7th round pick every year to get into the third the following year..... Your chances of hitting are beyond drastically different.....

I hope we sell EVERYTHING. We are still 2 or 3 years away from being relevant.......

Is there a way to see a list of ALL the prospects the Red Wings have? They literally have to have over 75 from the past 6 or 7 drafts.......

Thats one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.... lol.

Language kids -

You can be sick of it all you want. Wings need 1 more year. Lions are your best bet this year. Pistons are 1 or 2 years away.... Tigers are about 2 or 3 years away from relevance........ They are the prime example of when you quit a rebuild too early. The other three Detroit teams should take notes. Avila quit too early and now they are stuck in no mans land. If the Wings sellout now, it will screw em over. If they wait one more year, they will be a lot better positioned to be competitive for the next decade.........

1 more year.

Just think though..... if they "hit" and become MLB players, it opens up trades. I say take the highest ceiling possible. Remember, we got guys from the Rays front office and Dodgers front office doing our draft now. This feels like Rays and Dodger picks already and I'm all for it. Don't get me wrong. I wish we got Langford over Clark when he was drafted. But the more I think about it, Clark could be the next Byron Buxton with 20 HR's annually instead of 30. I'll take that all day long.

Dang I wanted White. I want McGonigle or Cole Schoenwetter.

High Upside position player. I hate to say this, but I'd rather see a pitcher.......

K. Houcks sister or GF is by far the hottest chick on the draft so far...........

I'm afraid we get him and he scores 10 goals next season.......

You're dreaming. We gonna suck next year. But I have a feeling thats it after that. We'll be sellers at the deadline and call up a lot of prospects next year I'm thinkin. Then when free agency starts, we gonna sign some good boys to go with the young core. Hopefully we'll be trading our first and second rounders to suppliment all that. We will have a nice team after next year I'm guessing.

I think Yzerman is doing this correctly. Al Avila quit the rebuild too early. Now the Tigers are stuck in Purgatory........ Yzerman needed to use his top 5 draft picks this year in a "deep" draft. With the way our farm team was and especially now after adding 5 more good players, we are pretty well stocked. I could totally see some of these players that we signed this off-season traded at the deadline and allow prospects to come up. I fully expect the Red Wings to be really aggressive next year in FA and trades. I will be very surprised if we use any of our 1st or 2nd round picks next year that we have. I think between trades and FA next year as well as our prospects coming up, we are in great shape going forward..... This was always going to be the last wait and see year. We are set up perfectly for next year and beyond to make some big noise........

https://thehockeywriters.com/2024-nhl-draft-rankings-early-top-16/ - Looks like another deep draft coming up.

Dang. So which wings Lost their jobs.....?

I'm just glad he used the top 5 picks. Supposidly our farm system was pretty strong going into the draft. Adding 5 more talents should be enough. Now next year we can trade the 1sts and 2nd rounders for immediate talent. I'm good w/ being done with the rebuild now. Next off season I say it's time to buy some stuff instead of window shopping....... We have talent coming up the pipeline so its time to finish it off. Yzerman did it the right way. Avila quit the Tigers rebuild too early..... Glad Yzerman stuck to his guns and did it right imo.

Dunno why. But reminds me of Abdelkater (?), sorry not a big hockey guy. But didn't he take boxing lessons so he could fight people and get a good contract? Or was that someone else.......?

That dude looks awesome. Blocks a shot then beats the crap out of three guys.... I Like it!

lombardi buchelnikov You made those two up.....
