2026 Live Draft Thread As It Happens

[RedRamage]

It's very strange... there are other TCU players listed in the draft and they do have TCU as their school. If you look at prospects and filter those with no college there are three players listed: Bud Clark, of course, and Joshua Weru, a rugby player from Kenya, and Uar Bernard, a player who was in some NFL camps in Afrcia (originally from Nigeria).

Brad moved up for this guy with multiple DEs/Edge players still on the board, so clearly he thought very highly of Moore and had him graded out higher than fans and the media did. He perhaps graded up to get his BPA.

right.  who just HAPPENED TO BE a defensive end.  their biggest need.

Stop throwing away draft picks to trade up for guys who will be there when you pick!

If these picks were working out I think we'd all be fine with moving up to get your guy. All evidence points to him falling for a specific player at a specific position and then getting scared and moving up to get them.

I like how fans think they have a better pulse on who will be available or not than NFL GMs.

I feel similar about the Miller and Moore. I like them, I get the picks, they filled big needs which is the important thing but I feel like some upside was left on the table. It seems like Brad has changed his approach a bit of swinging for upside by playing it safe which is actually fine since the Lions should be in win now mode and could use some high floor prospects that are Day 1 starters. Lets say I'm whelmed, content might be the right word but not excited.

How do you know that they would have been there at their original pick? Because of scouting grades? 

It always drives me nuts when fans say this as if a smart GM like Holmes doesn't have an inkling or some intel that his guy might get taken earlier.
