Josh Norman will get snapped up by San Francisco, Rams, Oakland or another team desperate to win. I wouldnt be surprised if he is signed before the week is out.  But given we are not going to expect a rookie to start at corner through the draft, who are we going to bring in.  Do we resign Peanut if his rehab is going well, bring in another guy like Cromartie on a 1 or 2 year prove it contract, or sign someone younger who is relatively unknown.  Move Boykin to the outside and bring in another nickel guy or something else???

I think we must have something in the works already or we wouldnt have let him go.  What says the huddle???

Is Chris Gamble available? Seriously though, Getty has a back-up plan, he's had one during the entire back and forth with Norman. Pretty sure if he doesn't think there's a decent corner available he will bulk up on the d-line and ensure our pass rush wreaks havoc.

It's a good draft for CB/DBs. Trust scouting and target a couple UDFAs, ie spend a little more money in SB.

Also the result of deep class- cuts. There will be a few players get the pink slip and one or two should be a panther fit.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
