Jason_R Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 1 hour ago, Longgone said: He looks like someone you might take a 7th round flyer on, but Holmes likes him, really, really, likes him. Targeted him. Sees him at least as one of the top 70 players in the draft. It will be interesting to see how it plays out. Same with Sorsdal. If he makes the team, Martin would end up being one of the 15-20 biggest players in the NFL. And Holmes seems to believe he has unusual athleticism for his size. It seems like Holmes paid too much and drafted him too soon, but he’s filling roles now, not gaping holes. No need to take fliers on sixth rounders who are going to get cut.

RandyMarsh Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 McShay has us picking 22nd in his way too early 2024 Mock. Philly, SF and Dallas are the NFC teams picking after us so apparently that projection system has us winning the division also. It did have Minny picking 21 so going by that one atleast it expects a close race between us two with both making the playoffs. BTW he has us drafting Texas WR Xavier Worthy. Had Minny picking JJ McCarthy with the 21st pick which caught my eye, didn't know he was viewed that highly among some of the scouting circles. Had him going higher than Penix and Nix.

I mean it's fine to think that and it's fine if you want to use that as a reason to not pursue a guy... heck, it's fine to try to cut an interview short if you've decided this isn't your guy (I've been in a few interview processes where we did this... after the first few questions you're like: Yeah, this person isn't who we want... let's just skip through like half the prepared questions...). But you don't say that to the guy's face. Very rude and dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I would like to know the contexr to the quote, like if Skor was so professional and answered everything elegantly maybe Smith was saying it in kinda a joking manner. Like how people used to jokingly say Tim Duncan was boring cause of how professional , quiet he went about his business and how easy he made it look. Idk just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt cause I find it hard to believe he would be that upfront to a prospect if he meant it in a deragotry way.

buddha Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 smith doesnt have the best reputation already. i have a hard time putting these guys in the same bucket as a normal business interview or normal business relationship. football is a sport and emotional and physical. this isnt an office job interview.

Motown Bombers Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 It seems an odd criticism since if he said something controversial it would get leaked that he has character concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Didn't someone say something during the combine that Stroud was kind of boring because he does everything good? Forgot the exact quote. That was until his cognitive score came out lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering those cities often get players from other states to come play High School there it makes the Detroit number even more impressive.

It's a relevant predictor for maybe 10% of the places it's used. But it plays so well the the ego massage needs of managers it will never go away. Especially in sport. I mean WTF - do you suppose Ted Williams was ever a good interview? Edited May 5, 2023 by gehringer_2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Bombers Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I like reading these future mocks just to see where they have the Lions drafting and they have the Lions drafting 29th. That would be an NFC Championship game appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of them had the Lions as the last North team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 Recent history tells us that 3 or 4 QB will be taken in the top 10 to 15 picks in almost every draft. This one appears very deep at high end prospects and these early mocks still have just 2 QB’s going high. They will never learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMarsh Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 I can't remember which one but I seen one with Caleb, Maye, Penix, JJ and Ewers going in the 1st. I know PFF had JJ going at 15 on one of theirs so that may be the one I'm thinking of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MichiganCardinal Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I'm old enough to remember when Shane Morris was projected as a #1 pick in a way-too-early mock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichiganCardinal Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Not sure if this is posted to the public... I don't think I am logged in, so it should be... Holmes and Dan Miller did a film review of the draft picks for season ticket holders that was pretty cool. They provided this link to the recording.
